We were pretty tough on Sarah Palin after watching the first excerpts of her interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC News Thursday night. (Now it looks like ABC did some bad editing, she comes off better in the transcript.) But the parts of the interview shown last night on ABC’s 20/20 were much better. Palin …
Obama’s phony issue: Does McCain use a computer?
From the AP: Obama mocks McCain as computer illiterate in ad “Today is the first day of the rest of the campaign,” Obama campaign manager David Plouffe says in a campaign strategy memo. “We will respond with speed and ferocity to John McCain’s attacks and we will take the fight to him, but we will …
Analysis: AP claims skirt facts
The AP, in what is labeled “analysis”, repeats the same old deceitful talking points from the Democrats: Republican presidential nominee John McCain, a self-proclaimed tell-it-like-it-is maverick, keeps saying his running mate, Sarah Palin, killed the federally funded Bridge to Nowhere when, in fact, she pulled her support only after the project became a political embarrassment. …
Sarah Palin on ABC News
We really need to see the full interview tomorrow night, but here are a few quick observations about Sarah Palin’s interview with ABC News: Unfortunately, she did not bring her A game. She really needs to relax. It’s understandable that she’d be nervous, but the next outing better show a lot of improvement. She was …
Obama on McCain-Palin: “Lipstick on a pig”
Barack Obama’s defenders point out that “lipstick on a pig” is a pretty common expression. Fair enough. One could also point out that politicians tend to re-use parts of their stump speeches over and over again as they appear before crowds all over the country. People in general also tend to use certain expressions more …
So where’s the bridge then?
The Obama campaign is accusing Sarah Palin of “lying” about her opposition to “the bridge to nowhere”. So then where is the bridge? Obama and Biden (or their campaign surrogates at NBC, CNN, The NY Times,…) should fly up to Alaska tomorrow and hold a press conference in front of the bridge. Wait, there is …
Obama: Tax increases he favors would hurt the economy
Is Barack Obama working for the McCain campaign now? He’s certainly making their argument here, and rejecting a fundamental doctrine of his party – favoring tax increases. Democrat Barack Obama says he would delay rescinding President Bush’s tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, …

Obama: The Audacity of Projection
Barack Obama makes stuff up to falsely accuse Republicans of making stuff up: “When [the Republicans] say this isn’t about issues it’s about personalities what they’re really saying is “we’re going to try to scare people about Barack’,” he told a small gathering at a glass factory near Scranton. “‘We’re going to say that you …

Grace under fire
A really great speech, very well delivered. Joe Biden appears to be in real trouble. The vicious, relentless attacks from the media obviously didn’t faze Sarah Palin at all. In addition to the content of the speech, she showed a fortitude and grace under intense pressure that will be an asset in office. Very well …

What exactly did Palin supposedly do wrong in “Trooper-gate”?
Consider a hypothetical: Imagine that the governor of a state, who has oversight responsibility for the state police, learns that an officer has allegedly issued death threats against his former in-laws, used a Taser weapon on a child, drank alcohol in his department vehicle, and possibly other violations of law and department policy. Would a …
Obama misrepresents Palin’s experience to cover for his own lack thereof
« Previous Page — Next Page »
Here is James Carville forwarding the Obama line that Sarah Palin is unqualified to be president (which she is not running for) because she was just a small town mayor. Of course Obama and Carville are being dishonest every time they use this argument, willfully ignoring that she is currently a governor. But Obama is …
