Public Safety Reminder
Since it’s likely that John McCain will dominate the primaries today, you may want to steer clear of a certain type of fanatical Ron Paul supporter tomorrow. Judging from my email, they’re pretty convinced that Paul will wrap up the … Continue reading

A McCain for All Seasons
Michael Weiss casts about for reasons from the blog world to support McCain. I’m largely unmoved, but this is a particularly good line: “Where Joe Lieberman has been unable to cast himself as a Scoop Jackson Democrat, McCain has had … Continue reading

The Competition
(Cross posted at Whatif?) As a bridge player, I am well aware of competition. Sometimes you pitch a blowout. More often than not, though, winning is a matter of inches. It’s a matter of dogged determination. It’s a function … Continue reading

The Left and John McCain
In a post at QandO, Billy Hollis explains why John McCain will not be getting his vote. Essentially, McCain-Feingold and Johnny’s continued contempt for the Bill of Rights leaves Billy cold: This [McCain-Feingold] is THE main reason I cannot vote … Continue reading
Once Again – Blame Bush
(Cross Posted at Whatif?) This time, however, blame GWB for something few of us consider. Rarely in recent American history had a political leader received such a visible testing ground for the character of his leadership. Giuliani projected … Continue reading

His Own Petard?
(Cross Posted at Whatif?) When John McCain and George W. Bush were vying for their party’s nomination, I was a McCain fan. How could a person not be impressed by the man who refused to leave Vietnam’s prison camp to … Continue reading
You Get What You Pay For
(Cross posted at What if?) Did Rudy lose because the purportedly “ruthless” candidate was too nice? Most critical in the closing days of the contest, when he desperately needed to reinsert himself into the narrative, was Giuliani’s inexplicable refusal … Continue reading

Kyl & McCain
Arnold has to govern liberal California, Rudy had to govern liberal NYC and McCain…McCain is from Arizona. So what exactly is his excuse for his dramatic shift to the Left over time? Lest you think he has one, here’s a … Continue reading

President McCain?
(Cross posted at What if?) As any of my readers know, I was a Rudy woman. Now that the handwriting is on the wall for all to see, I must go elsewhere. Romney? McCain? My best friend from first … Continue reading

Republican VP Candidates
Despite Keith’s wise admonition, many Republican leaning (or formerly R-leaning) voters have resigned themselves to the fact that Sen. John McCain will be the Republican nominee for Election 2008. That does not sit well with more than a few. Personally, … Continue reading

Hatred on the Homefront for McCain
The Maricopa County Republicans (McCain’s home county) held a meeting and had a straw poll on the primaries. McCain was voted “Most Unacceptable,” ahead of even Ron Paul. Fred Thompson won the “Most Acceptable” vote, but then lost to Romney … Continue reading

Retreat to the Fringe
Social conservatives and particularly crypto-socialist social conservatives (or “populists” if you prefer), are inevitably going to be a minority faction within the GOP. But to their great credit they themselves recognize this. The implications of that self-awareness are dire for … Continue reading

The Triumph of the Laity
The Huckabee campaign staff is bitter and suspicious (as usual). They’re blaming Fred Thompson’s 16% showing in South Carolina for ruining their efforts to flood the vote with a social-conservative surge. The surge was nevertheless impressive when it came, in … Continue reading
Hearing Things
I was watching the booing of John McCain at the Prosperity Summit in Livonia, Michigan (video clip at Ian Schwartz). Now I can’t be entirely certain, but it sure sounds like a woman in the audience exclaims: “Happy Birthday Warsaw!” … Continue reading
