That “Ace” pilot, McCain
In a lot of ways, this presidential campaign is about biography, who John McCain is and who Barack Obama is. A lot of people say, for instance, despite his books, that they don’t know much about Sen. Obama. He’s still too new to the national scene. Here’s my question: John McCain has occupied the national…

That *&%$@#!, McCain
McCain’s Mansions As that self-made man, McCain, has done himself, pull yourself up by your bootstrap (Ferragamo moccasins, in his case). If you can’t hack it in this economy, get a second job. Love0 Share Tweet Share Pin

That hero, McCain
The New York Times published a story on Sunday that had me scratching my head. Timesman David D. Kirkpatrick’s piece, Response to 9/11 Offers Outline of McCain Doctrine, is not quite like the usual admiring pieces that we’ve come to expect from the mainstream media about McCain, explaining away obvious and prodigious faults while pumping…

Saddleback
Like any serious political junkie, I watched the entire Saddleback forum on Saturday night. My assessment, in a nutshell: Obama sounded like Dukakis; McCain sounded like Reagan. If I were a McCainiac, I’d be giddy with excitement. There has been a rope-a-dope meme bouncing around the internet over the last few weeks. Democratic-leaning pundits have…

McCain’s shifts
From The New Republic [John] McCain has spent years manipulating the public’s perception of his stance on abortion and reproductive health. He’s been against overturning Roe v. Wade and he’s been for it; he’s embraced the idea of a pro-choice running mate and, more recently, recoiled from it. It’s no wonder the public is confused.…

Bush approval ratings
The Public v. McCain When the American public disapproves of Bush’s Presidency more and more each day, why does McCain continue to increase his support of such increasingly unpopular policies and positions? Love0 Share Tweet Share Pin

White Chicks Dig Obama
Fan Club Jake Tapper of ABC News counts the number of young white women professing their adoration of Sen. Obama in Sen. McCain’s latest web ad, called “Hot Chicks Dig Obama”. His count? Four. Just for kicks, I decided to find out whether Tapper was just being selective in his reporting. Four white women might…
