John McCain put out, on his nickel, a truly classy ad where he personally congratulates Obama on this historic event on the historic day: And how did Obama return the favor? How did the candidate of ‘change’ who will ‘bridge the aisle’ and bring leadership to DC respond? With the usual tired, gutter partisan sniping […]

I have to tip my hat to the McCain PR machine – it has been devastating to Obama. This election has turned from being a referendum on Bush or Iraq and is now firmly a question of Obama’s readiness to take on the responsibilities of leading and protecting this nation.  On June 12th I posted […]

Gallup has detected a mini-bounce for Obama in their daily tracking poll (follow link for larger image): As Gallup notes the question is how long this will last, given the McCain news cycle begins tomorrow (and maybe even this evening with word leaking out on his VP selection). Obama got a 9 point bounce from […]

  I have been collecting up articles on events in our final major front in the war on terror as the Democrat convention has limped along. But today is a good day to do a overview of recent activities to remind ourselves the differences between Bill Clinton and George Bush on the threat of al-Qaeda. […]

Update: While the snookered will deny anything is wrong at the Dem Convention there are many Dems who know better and see the same thing I do (except they see it with fear while I am smiling): I am feeling really frustrated today. I am sensing that something is wrong with this convention, and that […]

Bill Ayers is one sick person – right up there with Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden. Like many political killers he thinks he is doing good when he kills.  Here is all you need to know about Obama’s friends and their ‘vision’ of America: Back when Ayers was being more honest about […]

John and Kay-Bailey?  Why not! I can guess where Hillary’s voters will start swinging en mass:   Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s long-shot prospect for vice president is getting a push from conservative and other pundits in the lead-up to next week’s Republican National Convention. The latest flurry of speculation online and on cable television […]

Two days down and Obama keeps slipping in the polls.  Now Rasmussen as McCain up one point as well. I fail to see how the Democrat Convention can be salvaged. If this continues I am wondering when the reverse coat tails will start to come into play and start destroying the Dems plans for expanding […]

Boy, stick a fork in the dems this year – they are done.  I could not get through Hillary’s speech, but through a glaring omission she pretty much torpedoed Barack for 08: I’ll amend this if I’m mistaken but on first read of Hillary’s speech text I see no clear, flat assertion that Obama is […]

Major Update Below: I want to add to my piece about how Hillary fell flat last night with her speech. Generally speaking there is no harmony in Denver, the theme coming across is dissonance, forced fronts and angst. Probably being fed by a combination of inexperience and buyer’s remorse. What struck me with the Hillary […]
