McCain on Hagel:
“He’s an American hero and a person I love dearly.. I look forward to him being on the campaign trail.”
McCain also said Hagel would be a “good campaigner” who is “a very articulate, attractive handsome man with an impressive record” if he enters the 2008 race for the White House.
Hagel on McCain:
“He would […]
Bob Dole was asked this morning whom he would endorse for President. He declined to answer, saying only “May be another one in there… They may not be all in yet.” Right on cue:
WASHINGTON - For a guy who hasn’t announced a presidential bid, Sen. Chuck Hagel’s schedule next week looks a lot […]
It’s often interesting seeing when Presidential candidates defend each other. Firstly, because it’s a rare sight. Secondly because you always have to wonder what they have to gain.
When Vilsack and Richardson took Hillary’s side in the Obama-Hillary scuffle, it looked like they wanted to start being friendly early for Veepstakes (to me at least). When […]
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton will all be in Selma Alabama today to commemorate a civil rights march some 42 years ago which occured after a 1965 incident known as “Bloody Sunday,” when state troopers nearly beat several civil rights activists to death.
Set to be published in Sunday’s NYT is a brief article by Times Chief Political editor Adam Nagourney (whom I believe is gay, somebody correct me if I’m wrong here) about Ann Coulter’s anti-gay remarks at CPAC, and how some GOP candidates are backing away from them.
Ms. Coulter, asked for a reaction to the […]
Conservatives love it when liberals fight amongst themselves. And we love it when they do the same.
Right now, and I wouldn’t know this except for stumbling today on the abomination known as Michelle Malkin’s blog, there’s a big conference in DC going on that’s attracting all sorts of conservatives. It’s called CPAC, which stands for […]
You may remember that Senator Obama was attacked relentlessly by conservatives for saying the following at a speech in Iowa last month:
“We ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized, and should never been waged, and on which we have now spent $400 billion, and have seen over 3,000 lives of the […]
Joe Biden spoke to a crowd of about 350 people last night in Hanover, New Hampshire at Dartmouth College at a town hall event. I understand it was a smaller crowd and a more subdued speech than John Edwards speech at the same location last month (also, Biden was more Bidenly). Biden took questions from […]
I can’t express how pissed I’ve been at most of the media for promoting the “why on earth isn’t Barack Obama garnering more black support than Hillary?!?!?!?!” meme. We’ve all heard pundits and reporters repeating this asinine question.
It’s pretty much racist, when you really think about it. “Obama is black! Why aren’t all black people […]
The Onion had a hilarious satire piece last week about how Rudy Giuliani has no credibility on any issues other than 9/11.
At a well-attended rally in front of his new Ground Zero headquarters Monday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani officially announced his plan to run for president of 9/11.
[…]
“Sure, he has no foreign […]
Well, tonight is Oscar night. And all the inside-the-beltway pundits, talking head TV news hosts who have no idea what they’re talking about, and quite a few bloggers (to my dismay) have bought into the idea that there is actually a possibility that Al Gore could announce for President if he “wins an Oscar.”
What a […]
Quinnipiac poll Feb. 13-19. “If the 2008 Republican primary for president were being held today, and the candidates were [see below], for whom would you vote?”

John McCain 18%
Newt Gingrich* 10%
Mitt Romney 7%
Duncan Hunter 2%
Mike Huckabee 2%
Sam Brownback 1%
George Pataki* 1%
Ron Paul […]
15 weeks after he jumped in the race, former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack is out of the running. He dropped out today, criticizing the primary system, saying “The reality is that this process has become … about money, a lot of money.”
I just got an email from Boston Herald columnist Brett Arends, who specializes in business-related matters. He directed me to his latest column, published Wednesday, about Mitt Romney’s business record. Romney of course is painting himself as a “business legend,” but does he really have the economic credibility to back up the image he’s building […]
Okay, new rule: Candidates who used to be pro-choice but changed their mind and became more conservative aren’t allowed to criticize other candidates who used to be pro-choice, for changing their minds and became more conservative.
This rule obviously applies to none other than Olympics-rescuing former Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney.
Yes, Mitt Romney. A man who […]
