Who would win in a head-to-head contest of the Veeps for the presidency? Palin, according to Rasmussen, by 47%-44%.

Sarah Palin’s Google Bounce, Part II

Posted on September 11, 2008 by Lee

Last week I noticed that Sarah Palin had exceeded Joe Biden slightly in Google returns. Understandably, that has now become an avalanche (Biden: 5.6 million | Palin: 22.4 million). Although it plainly doesn’t exceed John McCain or Barack Obama’s returns … Continue reading →

A Fine Figure of a Republican

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Lee

The title is what Time Magazine labeled New Jersey’s Senator William Warren Barbour in 1940. The expression takes on a better curve for Sarah Palin, but it fits the occasion of a very partisan and frankly rather phenomenal speech tonight … Continue reading →

Sarah Palin’s Google Bounce

Posted on September 2, 2008 by Lee

When McCain named Sarah Palin his veep, she had about 500k mentions on the web according to Google, and Joe Biden mustered an impressive five million plus (I checked). A few short days later Palin has surpassed Biden with 5.8 … Continue reading →

Hearts and Minds

Posted on September 1, 2008 by Lee

Little Miss Attila picks up a good line from Jas at postpolitical. An amusing reversal for the ‘Cheney is the brains of the White House’ school of commentary.

Into the Zogby Zone

Posted on August 31, 2008 by Lee

Everyone’s jumping on the Zogby poll, which alone seems to show McCain/Palin taking the lead over Obama/Biden. I personally find such a result hard to believe in the extreme. Rasmussen‘s finding that Palin might have arrested the slide seems more … Continue reading →

Palin Poll

Posted on August 30, 2008 by Lee

Rasmussen’s first Palin poll suggests that while many Americans still need more information to make a judgment, she’s already made a superior impression to Biden on the day of his selection by Obama. Of enormous significance is the finding that … Continue reading →

Running Aground Over Sarah Palin

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Lee

Paul Begala laments the fact that McCain didn’t select a vice presidential candidate who is more traditional, old, boring, uninspiring…in essence, an ossified agent of the establishment, like Joe Biden for instance. Well, he doesn’t quite phrase it that way, … Continue reading →

A Loss of Democratic Self-Awareness

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Lee

It’s rather amusing to see the ticket lacking in any executive experience, with a presidential nominee of extremely limited elected experience, attempting to attack McCain’s vice presidential nominee on grounds of inexperience. Reeling a bit perhaps. A more mature Democratic … Continue reading →

Biden/Cheney 200X

Posted on August 23, 2008 by Lee

Michael Goodwin concludes that the Biden pick is identical in cause and format to Bush’s selection of Dick Cheney in 2000. I tend to agree, but then I’ve been convinced for a long time that Obama’s entire campaign is all … Continue reading →

Where’s that Joe Biden Story?

Posted on August 23, 2008 by Lee

It’ll be interesting to see if Jason at postpolitical posts a highly unusual encounter he had with Joe Biden when we were both kids in Delaware. So far, he’s held off. Too scandalous? Nah. Yet I’m pinging him to shame … Continue reading →
