Let me start by saying this: I hope Gustav misses NOLA and doesn’t cause major damage in any other parts of the Gulf Region. However, with the hurricane approaching landfall this week — at the same time the GOP is supposed to be holding its convention — there are some pretty interesting political issues raised.
My [...]
This whole Palin debate is frustrating.
As Fox News put it, the McCain camp is hoping the “Palin narrative” will appeal to women because McCain is trailing Obama among women in the polls. Palin is no Hillary Clinton — yet McCain hopes to trick less-informed women into voting for her anyway You know — Palin’s a [...]
I know absolutely nothing about Sarah Palin, so I’ll reserve my comments about her political stances and what she brings to the ticket for a later time. But, it’s worth noting that multiple people in my office think John McCain picked Palin to be his VP in an attempt to woo Hillary supporters.
As my boss [...]
Earlier this week, I had a family member include me on a mass distribution list of an email titled “Obama and Abortion.” The email took a quote from his appearance at Rick Warren’s forum about when life begins and used that as the prevailing reason not to support Obama for president.
I don’t understand single-issue voters. [...]
Remarkable. I can’t think of a better word to describe Hillary’s speech last night. She did everything she was supposed to do … and then some. There is no reasonable Hillary supporter out there who can pull the lever for McCain after that speech. Unless they were only supporting Hillary so a woman could be [...]
One more thought. Last night, the pundits noted that the Dems didn’t take many digs at the GOP. I thought that was a smart move: Michelle couldn’t play the role of the angry spouse.
That being said, Dems need to do more tonight to talk about why four more years of the GOP is a bad [...]
Last night, during Michelle Obama’s amazing speech, I was amazed by the number of women crying — clearly, emotionally moved by this strong, smart woman/mother/wife. When Michelle gave a shout out to Hillary and the 18 million cracks she put in the glass ceiling, even I got goosebumps. I didn’t vote for Hillary, but I [...]
Seriously … when is Obama going to name his VP? I can’t tell you have many times I’ve checked Drudge today. I’m traveling tomorrow, so I’m going to miss all the fanfare. Crap!
P.S. If you’re a betting man, check out www.intrade.com . According to the gamblers, Biden’s almost a sure thing and Mitt’s the leading contender [...]
There’s a lot going on today to write about, but I had a minor moral crisis today that I want to share.
First, some background: Caylee Anthony is a missing three-year-old girl from Orlando. About a month after she first disappeared, her grandmother finally reported her missing. The mother hasn’t been exactly truthful — nor helpful [...]
Now that Tropical Storm Fay is moving on it’s time to go back to watching the Olympics. The second week is never as compelling as the first — I assume that’s why they’re dragging out the gymnastics event finals. Even so this has been the best Olympics that I can remember. Some observations:
We knew there [...]
