I’m looking at three separate pieces of information about the presidential race in Michigan and, taken as a whole, they point to very good news for the Obama campaign in November: 1. The registration of young people is HUGE and getting HUGER.2. The percentage of young people who voted in the primary in Michigan was much larger than usual this […]

Palin to Meet with Bono. Bono? Seriously? I’m just sayin’…

After spending the summer complaining their campaign wasn’t getting the same amount of attention from the media as Obama, the McCain group is now complaining that they don’t like the kind of coverage they are getting. It didn’t seem to register with them that Obama’s media attention was largely him getting roasted over stuff like his pastor, his exceedingly tenuous […]

It’s been over a month since John McCain has done a “press availability” where he answers actual questions, ones he hasn’t prepared for ahead of time. Sarah Palin has been his vice-presidential candidate for over three weeks and has yet to do a press conference although the election is a scant six weeks from now. They are doing what appear […]

Unbelievable. “Loan Titans Paid McCain Adviser Nearly $2 Million” That’s right, John McCain’s Campaign Manager [Rick Davis] earned $2 million over five years lobbying for the very groups McCain is blaming for our recent financial “hiccup” (to quote my friend, Aielman.) Senator John McCain’s campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an […]

Governor Sarah Palin’s ascendancy to the Number Two spot on the Republican ticket has given Tina Fey’s Saturday Night Live career new life.

This one might just leave a mark. Oh, and by the way, it was created by a “concerned citizen”. It didn’t come from the Obama campaign. With friends like these, he’s in VERY good shape. I’m just sayin’…

Charles M. Blow has a new editorial piece out in the New York Times that’s a perfect characterization of the Palin Phenomenon right now. Here’s some of it: It turns out that the Republican enthusiasm for Sarah Palin is just as superficial as she is. They were so eager for someone to cheer for (because they really don’t like you) […]

While it’s a pretty easy target these days to hit, this right harr is a piece of awesomeness. How people can listen to McCain and then listen to Obama and come away thinking McCain and Palin are the best two people to run this country when it is in such dire need of strong leadership, I absolutely will never understand. […]

This diagram does the best job I’ve seen of showing why all this Drill Here, Drill Now bullshit is just that: bullshit. Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Any questions? UPDATE: I’ve put this graphic and text together as a mini-poster (a PDF document) for you to download. Print this out. Show it to your friends. Let’s get ’em educated. […]
