Brilliant move by John McCain in Picking Sarah Palin to be His Running Mate

jp — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:00:54 +0000

Governor Palin is a brilliant move for John McCain. She is just the right medicine for him and perfect McCain running mate. She has a son headed to Iraq, she’s female, she’s successful and beloved in her home state, she’s attractive, she’s a reformer, she’s outspoken and articulate, she’s a former small business owner and Continue reading →

John McCain to Show Up Barack Obama’s Speech By Announcing Running Mate

Nonpartisan Election News — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:43:06 +0000

As it is being reported on Drudgereport.com, John McCain will leak the name of his running mate / vice president around 6pm and then there will be confirmation at 8pm. Keep in mind that Barack Obama is speaking at 10PM. From Politico: “The leak of the McCain ticket mate would cause a news frenzy at Continue reading →

The Audacity of a Brother (Barack Obama’s Brother’s Could Quickly Become Campaign Dirt)

Nonpartisan Election News — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 06:30:15 +0000

Vanity Fair discovered Barack Obama’s brother living in a shantytown in Kenya on less than a $1 a day. The Texas GOP problem immediately went after Barack Obama using this fact in retaliation for Barack Obama’s attack on John McCain’s housing gaffe. Here’s the ad:

McCain Attacked as McBush

Nonpartisan Election News — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:31:59 +0000

Attempting to show John McCain as another 4 years of Bush, the DNC has released an ad showing similarities between presidential nominee John McCain and President George Bush. This strategy is not new, and it is my opinion that it will backfire. Campaigning on who someone is not is not a good enough for campaigning Continue reading →

Congratulations to the DNC

jp — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:33:28 +0000

I’m forever amazed at the stupidity of the DNC. Not only did they create this problem but they have done everything they could to make it worse. By inventing votes for Sen. Obama in Michigan, a state where he removed himself from the ballot, and disqualifying 50% of the delegates from both states, they have Continue reading →

Another love letter to a naif

jp — Fri, 23 May 2008 07:05:55 +0000

What’s up with Salon? They keep printing these love letters to a man we barely know. A man who has no accomplishments to his name. Zero. He’s worked with others. He’s written a couple of illuminating books. So what? Why does a few years of “community organizing,” whatever the hell that really means, equate to Continue reading →

Hillary Clinton as John McCain’s Vice President – Running Mate?

Nonpartisan Election News — Wed, 07 May 2008 21:05:46 +0000

Could Hillary Clinton actually become John McCain’s running mate??? This is an interesting idea being floated today by the inner advisers of the Clinton campaign and it is particularly poignant after Hillary Clinton’s dismal performance yesterday. As Barack Obama and many others have said Hillary Clinton will do whatever it takes to maintain and gain Continue reading →

John McCain Hero or Actor

Nonpartisan Election News — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:24:51 +0000

Matt Glazer makes a valid point about John McCain and his reluctance to play up his war heroness. “The media is empowering the mythos of John McCain and doing a disservice to our fighting men and women. The Texas and national media must hold McCain to either being upfront with his military background or end Continue reading →

Jaun Hernandez – Hispanic National Director – A chink in McCain’s Armor?

Nonpartisan Election News — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 04:29:42 +0000

John McCain has secured the Republican nomination so issues that would typically cause him indigestion in the Republican primary will not likely be raised anymore. One of these such issues is his stance on illegal immigration. I am sure there will be a lengthy debate on illegal immigration in the runup to the general election Continue reading →

Rev. Wright, Hamas, and Combating Evil

jp — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:05:26 +0000

The very Rev. Wright, formerly of Obama’s church, reprinted a vile, hate-filled invective towards Jews back in July of 2007. The article was written by Mousa Marzook, one of the leaders of Hamas currently residing in Syria. It was re-titled by Rev. Wright as “a fresh view of the Palestinian struggle”. Even worse, Mazook was Continue reading →
