Obama does a Lieberman-endorsement redux

Thursday, June 19, 2008

If further proof that Obama is not the second coming (was there a first coming?), you can find it here, at Tom Tomorrow’s site: So Barack Obama just recorded a radio ad for Rep. John Barrow (D-GA). Barrow has accused Democrats of wanting to “cut and run” in Iraq, and enthusiastically supports telcom immunity. He […]

National Press Club to give forum to anti-Obama liar

Saturday, June 14, 2008

I’ve been away most of the day. Just got back and saw this article in my newsreader: A Minnesota man named Larry Sinclair has been going around the country spreading unfounded rumors about Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). Among other claims, he alleges that he and Obama used cocaine together and participated in homosexual acts in […]

New York Times: McCain is a New Style Candidate

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Can’t stop myself from commenting on this morning’s Times which tells us that 2 New-Style Candidates Hit Old Notes on Economy. The headline is repeated twice in the printed edition. Like him or not, no one can deny that Obama is a new style candidate, at least in terms of the way he has organized […]

Yes we can

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Okay, I confess that I’m a softy and stuff like this gets to me. In this case I can blame it on my wife, who told me to put it up. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PJa3jaEVyM&feature=related[/youtube] I’m sure there’s a similar McCain inspired video out there somewhere.

Sleaze

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

According to Joe Lieberman’s people Obama was engaging in “sleazy” tactics when he let it be known that he gave Joe a talking to about, among other things, Joe’s “half-hearted denials of the false rumors that Obama is a Muslim”. Apparently it is not, in the current political environment, sleazy to insinuate that a candidate […]

Sexism in the campaign

Friday, June 6, 2008

For a lot of us who supported Obama, Hillary’s refusal to quit was infuriating, since we wanted to get to the main event. A lot of her supporters were convinced that she was done in by sexism, and though that’s not the whole truth (I still say she would have won going away if she […]

Tacky

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Hillary Clinton, self declared superior leader, asked her supporters to tell her whether she should quit the race. They are supposed to go to her web site and tell her what she should do. That’s leadership, according to Hillary. A real leader, someone who cared about the party, and more importantly, someone who cared about […]

Getting a little dirty

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Media Matters reports that CNN says that Obama was not above “getting a little dirty” during his election campaigns for state office. Apparently, utilizing the court system to challenge signatures on petitions, which signatures everyone appears to concede were in fact subject to legitimate challenge, is “getting a little dirty”. This appears to be yet […]

Puzzled

Sunday, June 1, 2008

Apparently, in the wake of her low turnout victory in Puerto Rico and the decision on Michigan and Florida, Hillary Clinton’s folks have adopted yet another spin point about how we should count to determine who is ahead in the popular vote count. I have been puzzled about this line of attack for some time, […]
