McCain Couldn’t Look Next President In The Eye

John McCain for  all his smirking during last night’s debate, and despite prompting from host Jim Lehrer, couldn’t look directly at the next President  while condescendingly, and sometimes erroneously, (Pakistan as a failed state),  insulting him.   Meanwhile Obama looked directly at McCain while confronting him on his Iraq misjudgments – WMD, easy victory, greeted [...]

A Typical Republican

A New York Times/CBS poll shows that John McCain is a typical Republican who is far less likely to bring change to Washington than Barack Obama.   Another very interesting finding that cut across party lines is that 75%  of poll respondents thought that McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin was made for political reasons:
75 percent said [...]

McCain’s Sexist Pig Remark

McCain On Iraq – Wrong In The Beginning; Wrong In The End

Turnout

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away the talking heads assured us that Hillary Clinton was the inevitable nominee of the Democratic Party.  The talking heads underestimated Obama’s considerable skills and intellect, his soaring oratory, his charisma, his self discipline and the incredible organizing talents that he and his top advisers brought [...]

Hillary’s Bad Manners

Hillary Clinton can not face the reality of defeat. She lost. But she could not bring herself to do the right thing, the gracious thing, and concede the obvious. She preferred to make herself the story on Obama’s night. It is hard to believe that she really wants the VP spot on an [...]
