This is absolutely not going to happen in any way, shape, or form. But let’s just imagine for a moment. What if John McCain asked Hillary Clinton to join a unity ticket? The election would be, essentially, over with. McCain/Clinton would instantly be a lock to win. This combined ticket [...]

Well, that was pretty fast! The McCain campaign has a brand new television ad that uses Joe Biden’s own comments against him. During the campaign, Biden hit Obama for his lack of experience. And during the 2004 race, Biden was one of those urging Senator Kerry to offer John McCain the VP [...]

A new poll out from Suffolk University should give Barack Obama some concern. Despite being an overwhelmingly Democratic state, John McCain is only trailing him there by 9%.

Obama skips debate with McCain to go on vacation in Hawaii
