Palinmania and the Stature Gap

Toby Harnden weighs in with his thoughts on the Palin effect. All interesting, all very astute IMO. Of particular interest is Toby’s argument that McCain commands enough public respect for his experience and expertise, that he has no concerns about … Continue reading

Biden: Clinton Better

Joe Biden says Hillary Clinton would have been a better pick than himself. A little amusing naturally, but I’m impressed by the candor and humility of it. Fine characteristics for a serving vice president who is expected to exert substantial … Continue reading

Biden Blues

A majority of voters approve of Obama’s selection of Joe Biden in CNN’s first poll after the tap. Unfortunately for Obama and his new Veep, the choice appears to have further angered and alienated Hillary’s sad little village. Thus, Obama … Continue reading

Targeting the “Original Maverick”

(photo: WBEZ Chicago Public Radio | site) Obama’s newish McSame style attack ad mocking McCain’s “original maverick” slogan is fairly good. As Ken Wheaton notes, all the time McCain had to spend trying to convince the GOP he was a … Continue reading
