I think Hillary - and the rest of the Dems, for that matter - needs to expand the Bush/McCain linking to the Bush/CHENEY/McCain comparison. First, Cheney is even less-liked than Bush. The worst President AND the worst Puppet Master Vice President.Second,...
I was very pleased to pick the paper out of my cactus (missed the driveway again, guys) and see the above-the-fold headline: "Tempe homeowners: John McCain slept here". Great timing, thought I. For those who don't want to click on...
Sure, John Dowd's a high-flying, bluster-filled attorney who represents many Republican politicians, I think it is yet another connection between John McCain and the Bush Presidency. But, Dowd has benefitted from John McCain's (and his buddies') legal/ethical missteps several times over...
Just out today is an article from one of Arizona's best journalists (two-time Press Club Journo of the Year) going over John McCain's history in AZ. A MUST READ!!! CHECK IT OUT: http://phoenixnewtimes.com/content/printVersion/848709 (By the way, a couple of her...
A few weeks ago, the Phoenix New Times exposed the County Attorney's propensity to use seized racketeering funds to organizations committed to "bring(ing) sinners to Christ" - a key constituency going into his re-election campaign this fall. http://phoenixnewtimes.com/2008-06-05/news/andrew-thomas-spends-public-m..., County Atty...
Hezbollah released the remains of the two Israelis ambushed, which triggered the Israeli war against Hezbollah two years ago. They had never indicated whether the Israelis were alive or not, and Israel held out hope. In return, Israel release remains...
Someone's already put up a counter-site to Sen. Obama's fightthesmears.com. (e.g. MO didn't use term "whitey". TRUTH: she called them "crackas")I haven't checked to see who owns this faux URL, but I'm surprised the Obama people didn't buy all of...
Or, at least, to the Bush Justice Department, it could be. (If it was a Democrat's website, that is.)I got such a chuckle out of Josh's item about McCain's website giving "Golf Gear" similar billing with his "Decision Center" and...
I left the office earlier to the sounds of a McCain "sr. policy adviser" on MSNBC saying that Obama's Iran policy is "premature capitulation." First, it is obnoxious and obnoxiously wrong. But, second, is she suggesting that McCain is for...
I haven't had a chance to fully analyze the DNC legal memo that is setting up the Rules & Bylaws Comm meeting, but a nagging question keeps popping up: --If the RBC can only reduce the 100% sanction re: MI&FL...
OK, the Rules Committee is meeting (again?) next week. And, again, we are talking about "changing the rules." The question is, what were the original rules, have they ALREADY been changed, and can/should they be changed again. The following is...
Today's campaign e-mail from the Nader crew carried the subject line: "We Need Gas Money." That was clever and cute... even though I hope he has to walk....
The Obama campaign's talking points about the debate refusal are that the debates are twisted thru the media's filters. So, why doesn't Clinton (or Obama) propose a NO-MEDIATOR DEBATE, where they question each other? I think this would be...
I'm not a big SurveyUSA fan (automated pollers bother me for many reasons). I know it is a "red state". I know Sen. Obama is ahead in pledged delegates, etc. I know the demographics thing. I know it is only...
My Senator, John McCain, continues to flounder to connect on economic issues. I think that his newest proposal for a gas tax "holiday" for the summer driving season is a good one politically - on the surface. Federal taxes are 18.4...
(apologies to Robert Smigel for the title ripoff)In the previous episode, The Fmr Presidents decided to create chaos in the 2008 Presidential campaign.Clinton: Hey, you guys. I've already been busy. You're slackin'. Here, let me show you one more time. Y'know that...
On MSNBC minutes ago, Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson suggested that Sens. Clinton and Obama meet in the Capital's recreation complex and bowl three games. The first would be a warm-up, at which each candidate would drink a pitcher of...
