I’ve been looking around at other ways to visualize the election (again), and came across a BBC US Election Map Generator they use to describe our freakish electoral college system to a nation that still picks their sovereign head of state in a much more refined and old fashioned way, via funeral and coronation.
The map [...]
Hey, can we play the guilt by association game too? How ’bout this little item?
BOOM!
William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.
Live by character assassination, die by character assassination.
Note [...]
What scares the Bejeebus outta Fox Pundit and Weekly Standard’s paid monkey-typist Fred Barnes? Here’s the short list of his Worst Case Scenario when Barack Obama sweeps into the D.C. Village with his team of terrorist congress critters:
They make it easier to join a union.
Conservative Hate-Speech Radio might have competition from Love Speaking Liberals.
Robert Bork’s [...]
It sure took long enough for McCain to step back from the abyss.
You almost have to admire the complete rejection of liberal leaning reality when the McCain Campaign comes out with something like this. (HT: Steve Benen):
Instead of acknowledging the real differences that exist in this
election, Barack Obama is using America’s economic crisis to deflect
legitimate criticisms of himself and his record.
Ahh yes, the genius of Obama is [...]
Kos found it. You should watch it. 37 seconds of reality.
In a piece of anticipatory political jujitsu you usually don’t see play out in such an obvious manner, Barack Obama has swung the debate back to the economy from the “guilt by shady association” game the McCain campaign would rather play until the clock runs out.
The last thing McCain wants to talk about in the [...]
Palin is ready for her close-up
I think the more we get to know Sarah Palin, the more we see what disastrous judgment McCain has. Facing an economic crisis that’s unprecedented in the memory of the vast majority of the electorate is inherently different than any national security decisions a president could make — especially if [...]
I have said often since this bailout crisis began that I wasn’t sure that it WAS a crisis. A hostage negotiation maybe; more likely a stickup.
A friend of mine writes:
If this is a stickup, then who is holding the gun? And if the gunman isn’t Washington, then why is the leadership of both parties complicit?
I [...]
“No Stumbles” is a low bar indeed.
Too low in fact for “Charlie.” The other Charlie — Krauthammer who’s throwing in the towel. Acknowledging the writing on the wall is one thing for someone who prides himself on being an intellectual, even if a batshit crazy neocon one. But when a cheerleading buffoon like Shrub’s boot-licking [...]
