Could Democrats still nominate Hillary?
Probably not, but there are some interesting rumblings going on. At a July 31st event in Los Altos Hills, CA, Hillary Clinton seemed extremely open to the idea of having her name placed into nomination for purely ceremonial reasons. To allow her delegates to vote for her could be the very first step to [...]

6. August 2008
A new poll out from Suffolk University should give Barack Obama some concern. Despite being an overwhelmingly Democratic state, John McCain is only trailing him there by 9%. The survey has Obama at 47% and McCain at 38%. Consider also that a poll by the same University in June showed Obama up [...]

5. August 2008
Barack Obama is ducking a town hall meeting in Texas to go vacation and do some fundraising in Hawaii. Why? Well, because John McCain will be there and we don’t want to allow any kind of exchange or debate that might poke holes in Obama’s silk underpants. Now, that might be bad enough on [...]

5. August 2008
Vice-President Dick Cheney is apparently not planning to attend the Republican National Convention in Minnesota next month. The official schedule has not been set, but there are no plans at this time for the Vice-President to address the assembled delegates or even travel to Minnesota during the convention. This is probably by design, [...]

Everyone has been running down lists of potential running mates for John McCain, usually including positive and negative points for each candidate. But since Vice-Presidential candidates have done more harm in recent history than they have good, we thought we’d consider worst case scenarios for each of the top wannabe Veeps. 1.

New polling data is offering some encouraging news for Senator John McCain’s White House hopes. After several weeks of Obama dancing victory laps and jetting all over the world, a few well-placed and low-cost advertisements on YouTube have helped bring the race back to even ground. Here are numbers from a few new ’swing state’ [...]

3. August 2008
The McCain camp’s recent barrage of ads and messages comparing Obama to a superficial, overfluffed socialite have been entertaining (and somewhat true) but totally unnecessary and not in line with the type of message that needs to be conveyed in a political election.
