Over at Talking Points Memo Josh Marshall brings up a good point regarding John McCain’s VP pick: she seems to be in lockdown mode.
On the RNC website they have a clock that shows the time: “Since Joe Biden’s last gaffe”. Perhaps the Democrats should put up a clock of their own, the time: “Since Sarah [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: Bristol Palin should not, under any circumstances, become the direct subject of media scrutiny.  It’s none of our business who the child of her father is or what he’s doing, the details of her pregnancy, or anything about her save that she’s the pregnant daughter of a rabid pro-life/fundamentalist “family values” politician [...]

In the GOP world when you can’t win on the issues you claim elections aren’t about issues, they’re about personalities.  When you can’t win on personalities you go on the attack, you try to make voters fear your opponent. Think of it as “The Political Theory of Stupid”.  It’s crude, it’s offensive, and McCain campaign [...]

The Democratic Party credentials committee has awarded Florida and Michigan full voting rights despite the fact that they broke party rules regarding primary scheduling:

Democratic delegates from Michigan and Florida were awarded full voting rights at the national convention Sunday, despite holding early primaries against party rules. The convention credentials committee voted unanimously to restore the [...]

John McCain and Bill Kristol must be sharing notes because, as I wrote about earlier, concern trolling is now an official Republican campaign tactic.  McCain and his campaign have released a new TV attack ad against Obama. It’s titled “Passed Over” and it has but one purpose, to be a blatant an attempt to siphon [...]

Now that Biden has been announced as Obama’s VP choice it was inevitable that the Hillary dead-enders would start shrieking in outrage. And, given that it’s been revealed she was never even under consideration for the role we can expect that outrage to be amplified 10-fold.
Predictably the right-wing is taking advantage of the situation [...]
