As the media has been all too happy to report lately, a few people at McCain rallies have been exhibiting nasty characteristics - calling Obama all manner of names, which aren’t necessarily supported by reality. All week, supporters of the GOP ticket have yelled ugly accusations about Obama as McCain and running mate Gov. Sarah Palin [...]

Bill Dyer at Townhall.com has made an interesting point with respect to Palin’s supposed public admission that her husban Todd had attempted to get trooper Mike Wooten fired - it simply isn’t true: Monegan himself has repeatedly admitted, in vivid language, that neither Gov. Palin, nor First Dude Todd Palin, nor anyone else ever told him, [...]

A probe into the Alaskan “troopergate” scandal involving Sarah Palin’s administration, her family and members of the Department of Public Safety has yielded a decision that she acted improperly to have Walt Monegan, the DPS Commissioner, dismissed. Supposedly, Monegan’s dismissal was related to his reluctance to fire Mike Wooten, an Alaskan State Trooper who had [...]

William Charles Ayers is back in the public eye after nearly three decades. He is the latest in a long series of Obama’s acquaintances that have turned into liabilities. Bill Ayers and his wife Bernandine Dorhn, both members of The Weathermen, hosted a campaign event for Obama at their home in Chicago in 1995, for [...]

I was a little bit worried about tonight’s debate after Governor Palin’s less than fantastic showing with Katie Couric, but I think she did very well tonight. It was a particularly impressive performance given the fact that the moderator is an Obama-supporter who is writing a book about Obama to be released in January. Did anyone else watching the raw [...]

There are apparently some rumors going around that Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol is about to get married to Levi Johnston after she turns 18 in October. This doesn’t seem to have really hit the mainstream media yet, but it does make sense to do this sooner rather than later… There is already some urgency to the [...]

Hendrik Hertzberg of The New Yorker has, for lack of anything else to criticize, taken issue with Sarah Palin’s distinctive way of speaking. Although generally considered a staple of upper Midwesterners - immortalized in media such as A Prarie Home Companion - expressions like “there in the ______ (where I/we are)” are apparently mysteriously unfamiliar [...]

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” Obama said in reference to the McCain-Palin campaign’s call for the right kind of change at the RNC last week. The comment was a play on Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s joke during her convention speech that the only difference between [...]

The Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin is leading Democrats Obama and Biden by about 4% in the latest Zogby poll, released yesterday. The survey was conducted at the end of this week, following the Republican National Convention and it included 2,312 likely voters. Last week’s survey had McCain/Palin with 47.1% to Obama/Biden’s [...]

The media coverage I’ve watched in the last couple of days keeps pushing this myth that Sarah Palin was plucked out of a small town and thrown onto the national stage. As if McCain drew her name from a hat and no one could possibly have seen this possibility. Well, if you read Conservative Pulse [...]
