Ugh: McCain & Company melting on cap-and-tax
I said it last month and it bears repeating: Beware the Climate Change Republicans.
Are you ready for the latest signs of capitulation by GOP global warming preacher Sen. John McCain and company?
1) Senate Dems opening to nuclear as a path to GOP support, 60 votes
Key Senate Democrats signaled yesterday they are willing to [...]
John McCain goes to war again
“AMC, you magnificent channel!”
John McCain’s AIG bailout revisionism
Calling bull.
The trouble with Meghan McCain
You know what’s wrong with Meghan McCain? It’s not her weight. It’s not her voice. It’s not her looks. She’s a beautiful young girl with TV-friendly poise and natural charm. The trouble with Meghan McCain is that, like her father, she has no fixed ideological principles — conservative, liberal, or otherwise. She seems to have [...]
Oprah channels ACORN
Sob.
Richard Viguerie responds to McCain’s new PAC
Just between “friends.”
No, thanks, “my friend”
John McCain wants your money. This solicitation is landing in many readers’ e-mail boxes:
My Friend,
In the time since the 2008 presidential campaign ended I have had a chance to reflect on many things. And as I said on election night, I truly cannot adequately express how indebted I am to you, my entire campaign team [...]
Left and lefter: The One and The Other One vow to “fix up the country;” Plus: Bush’s parting gift to Obama
Watch your wallets.
McCain wins…
Mandate for change.
Heckuva job, McLame
Not your friend.
The One ascends; McCain concedes
He is the change he’s been waiting for…
The increasingly erratic, super-gaffetastic Joe Biden
A heartbeat away…
My syndicated column today takes you through a tour of all the latest Joe Biden gaffes that aren’t getting replayed endlessly on the nightly news and comedy shows. I said yesterday that the McCain camp ought to toss the “erratic” label right back in Joe Biden’s face and defuse that rhetorical bomb. Right [...]
The Colin Powell endorsement: Triumph of hope over reality
Gravitas.
The media’s in a tizzy over Colin Powell’s Meet the Press endorsement of Barack Obama this morning.
It’s not a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention to his pro-Obama murmurings over the last four months.
How will people outside the Beltway bubble respond?
Yawn.
Here’s the vid:
Powell’s embrace of Barack Obama is a triumph of hope over reality. He [...]
Debate wrap-up: Senator Government vs. Johnny Mac and Joe the Plumber
No, there weren’t any knockout punches.
But John McCain was still standing at the end of the night — doubts about his fortitude adequately quelled — and Barack Obama ought to be wiping the smirk he borrowed from Joe Biden off his face.
Joe Wurzelbacher the Plumber was a heaven-sent gift for the McCain campaign, and [...]
Liveblogging the last presidential debate of 2008
It begins at 9pm Eastern.
Liberal Beltway fixture Bob Schieffer moderates. I noted in 2004 that he asked a question about immigration during one of the 2004 debates. Wouldn’t it be novel if the subject finally came up tonight? Not that the La Raza twins would differ much. I’m not the only one who wants to [...]
Sigh: McCain and his friends at…ACORN
Bad company.
McCain can’t make up his mind: Fight! Shush! Fight! Shush!
Unleashed.
Reports: Supporter begs McCain to fight; McCain bungles the ball; Update: Some positive reviews added; plus vid link
Update…here’s the vid via Allah…
I am away from my office, so haven’t seen the video of this yet. But several readers are reporting on a frustrating exchange John McCain had with a passionate supporter in Waukesha, Wisconsin. McCain gets a softball — and bungles again.
Banging. Head. Against. Wall.

McCain wants to spend $300 billion to buy up bad mortgages; Martin Feldstein behind it
Dude, where’s your bailout?
A better answer to the debate’s stupidest question
Responding to the insipid last question of the debate ( “What don’t you know and how will you learn it?”) and Obama’s bloviating answer, reader Mike G. e-mails:
“The first part of McCain’s answer should have been: ‘Well one thing I don’t know is what the hell he just said and frankly, I’m OK with that…’”
Liveblogging the town hall debate: Zzzzzzzz
I don’t have any prizes to give away, but you get Special MM.com Bonus Points if your insipid question suggestion gets asked tonight.
As for drinking game proposals, I recommend taking a swig every time Tom Brokaw inserts his two cents after the citizens ask their questions. Apparently, the two campaigns agreed that he wouldn’t be [...]
Debate game: Guess the insipid questions
I blogged my warning earlier today about how tonight’s Brokaw-moderated town hall debate is a recipe for pander politics at its worst. Expect a lot of disgruntled me-me-me questions. Michelle Obama will feel right at home.
Reader David e-mails a suggestion: “Instead of a drinking game tonight, maybe you can do a ‘predict the first [...]
A word of caution about tonight’s town hall debate
Plant Watch.
Maybe McCain does want to win: He finally attacks Obama on Fannie/Freddie
Gloves off.
Ugh: “Why McCain Goes Easy on Fannie and the CRA”
Soft-headed.
A debate “moderator” in the tank for Obama; Update: McCain campaign didn’t know about book; PBS and McCain shrug; Update: Ifill plays the race card
“Breakthrough.”
Who won?
Report card.
Rapid response: McCain debate ad quotes Obama, “McCain is right”
“He’s absolutely right…”
A historic night: The first presidential debate of 2008
Scroll down for updates and liveblogging…Obama hammers Bush-McCain theme, McCain emphasizes — sigh — fighting against “climate change…with Sen. Clinton”…McCain hits his stride on the war, foreign policy, Obama’s no-preconditions bungle…Gaffe of the debate so far: Obama trying to respond to McCain on his military/moral authority: “I’ve got a bracelet, too!”
What a week, huh? [...]
Team McCain has an epiphany: The NYTimes is a left-wing rag!
Better late than never, I guess.
