Countering Palin
The New York Times is reporting that Obama is developing a plan for all-female rapid-response teams to be sent around the country in an effort to counter Palin as she travels. A wise move.
Reading Ahead
According to the McCain campaign via NRO, the teleprompter had a glitch throughout the entire Palin speech. It continued to roll without pause for applause and thus would have been badly out of sync for her. Had no effect at … Continue reading

A Bitter Absolution for Sarah Palin
It would seem the innuendo campaign alleging the illegitimacy of Sarah Palin’s son Trig, inadvertantly uncovered a real family tragedy to media attention. As Jay Tea points out, the circumstances of that situation make it physically impossible for the campaign … Continue reading

Sarah Nouveau Riche
She raised less than $500k for the Alaska governor’s race in 2006. But as McCain’s running mate, Palin’s inaugurated a seven million dollar surge in donations to the McCain campaign. Given the excitement (near ecstasy, really) on the political right … Continue reading

A Swift Retreat
Obama moves to distance himself from his own campaign’s harshly antagonistic rhetoric against Palin. Commendable, but probably unwise. Palin represents a direct threat to one of Obama’s core constituencies and thus it would be to his advantage to define her … Continue reading

Looking for an Angle of Attack
Politico notices that the initial attacks against Sarah Palin from the Obama campaign have been, well, fumbling and badly considered. They volunteer some help to the befuddled Obama Nation, by suggesting that Palin’s respect for Hillary Clinton’s complaints of sexism … Continue reading

Biden/Cheney 200X
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

What Does Obama Own?
Is there an issue equivalent to McCain’s strength in certain foreign policy areas, where Obama can be said to dominate the debate? A worried group of Democratic leaders have concluded that there isn’t, and Obama’s appeal is a kind of … Continue reading

Russian Imperialism and the Election
(photo: Chris Dunn) John Bolton argues that the future of Russian imperialism in Eurasia rides on the outcome of the US presidential election. Unsurprisingly, he pitches McCain: “First reactions, before the campaigns’ pollsters and consultants get involved are always the … Continue reading

QandO Podcast
McQ, Dale and I discuss the Russian campaign against Georgia over South Ossetia. Generally I feel that our support should belong to Georgia. However, Georgia has severely miscalculated in this matter, and frankly our options are limited. At best, we … Continue reading

The Virtues of Celebrity Foreign Policy
(Photo: Alice E. Backer | blog) Andrew Galasetti at Lyved is an extremely devoted admirer of Obama. While fanatical devotion can blind — Galasetti thinks for instance that the McCain celebrity charge backfired, when the polls suggest a different picture … Continue reading

The Art of Trying too Hard
(photo: dgeuzen) John Riley at Newsday is criticizing John McCain’s “Celeb” ad on the grounds that “anyone knows” Britney Spears and Paris Hilton just aren’t celebrity enough. Points for novelty at least. To reinforce his argument, he cites the Forbes … Continue reading

McCain’s Social Surrender
Ben Adler observes the painfully obvious fact that McCain’s social media strategy is largely nonexistent, and ineptly executed where it does exist. Yeah, tell you something you didn’t know right? Well, I’m just wishing somebody would tell Mark Soohoo, McCain’s … Continue reading

Ban All Pointy Objects
It might sound like a bad t-shirt from a gun show, but I’m afraid it’s entirely true: Pat Regan, a prominent British anti-gun rights campaigner, who worked for years to abolish the private ownership of firearms in Britain…has been stabbed … Continue reading
Ronpaul’s Millions
One of the sadder aspects of Ronpaul’s candidacy is how many people (who can barely afford to do so), have been convinced to give well over their means to his campaign. My friend Jason has a co-worker who he believes … Continue reading

Fighting the Death of Germany
75% of Germans believe that their society is hostile to children. That’s a toxic attitude to combine with an appalling 1.3 children-per-woman fertility rate. Well below the replacement rate, the country is literally dying out over time. To attack the … Continue reading

Reflections on Fred
This was a post better suited for yesterday and Fred’s withdrawal, but I suppose I let myself get distracted without posting it. It should go without saying that while I was unsurprised by the event, it was nevertheless disappointing. But … Continue reading
