What Contest?

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Given that Senator Biden has already said that Senator Obama is not ready to lead and that Senator McCain is, I found the following hilarious:
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, must have known it was coming, but he still sought divine intercession before tackling the question.
When a member of the audience here [...]

Ad of the Week

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Says it all, really:

First of all, I think this kind of thing is entirely fair game. Secondly, it’s hilarious. Thirdly, ouch. What better way to make the point that, in fact, a man who has spent more time running for President than not since his election to the Senate is not qualified to win?
Hat tip: [...]

Obama’s Strategy: Interrupted Sleep Patterns?

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

So much for the build-up to The Announcement of The Pick. So…that Text Message came at 2:22am CDT | Jeff Emanuel online. Favorite line:
The promised Text Message from Barack, which was purported to be a way of having supporters be “the first to know” who he was “introducing to the world” as the campaign’s VP [...]

More on Obama & Ayers

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Stanley Kurtz is doing more great digging. Michelle Malkin is calling out the troops in the form of a phone and email campaign. For a good overview of what’s going on and what’s in the Annenberg Challenge papers, see here, in which we learn more about the connection between Obama and Ayers, about how Ayers [...]

Just A Little Biased, Maybe?

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

From an article on Obama’s claim that McCain “doesn’t know what he’s up against”:
“He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don’t have time for that mess,” Obama said.
His remarks carried forward a theme of feisty campaigning he debuted earlier in the day.
I’m sorry? When a presidential candidate is [...]

Byron York has more good points on the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency on National Review Online. Worth a read.

Obama: When life begins is “above his pay grade”

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Obama says the question of when babies obtain human rights is “above his pay grade.” This has to be one of the very most ill-advised things any major candidate has said, thus far in the election cycle. Even aside from the fact that it probably unsettles people throughout the spectrum of opinions on abortion, it’s [...]

Too Much to Ask?

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Could we really see Obama nominate Senator John Kerry for Vice President? That seems too much to hope for, but it would make life much more entertaining over the next few weeks.
