Brief thoughts after the Palin-Biden set-to in St. Louis.
I wonder if Sarah Palin’s last name was really Paling at one time, and the family just decided to drop the “g” because, y’know, they weren’t usin’ it anyway. By the end of the debate, I was likin’ some of what she was sayin’, but I was [...]

So, did you hear what that Alaska hockey mom ditz, Republican vp candidate Sarah Palin said this past week? In an interview with CBS anchor Katie Couric, talking about the economic meltdown, she said, “Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they’re talking about [...]
Bama, you can’t drive my car

I don’t want to base my vote for president on personality, age, race or gender. I want to base it on the critical issues of our time.
In that spirit, here’s my own, anecdotal, defining moment in presidential politics. True story. Two events. Happened on the very same day. In the morning, while traveling south on [...]
Memo to the everyone-is-special, everyone-gets-a-trophy, everything-gets-posted-on-the-refrigerator defenders of community organizers: Cool the faux outrage.
There’s so much crying going on here I’m afraid the members of the Democratic grievance industry are going to rust out the floors of their luxury hybrids. The skin is getting so thin that we’re starting to see the blue blood underneath. [...]
It’s been said many times before - especially during the past eight years - by people who can’t stand their party being out of power. But it carries a bit more, uh, weight, when it’s Hillary Clinton telling members of the Hispanic Caucus at the Democratic convention this past week, “We are not fighting to [...]
This week’s idiotic political firestorm comes courtesy of former Texas senator Phil Gramm, an economic adviser to GOP presidential candidate John McCain, who said that we are in more of a “mental” recession than an actual one, and that America has become a “nation of whiners.”
Democrat Barack Obama and his surrogates gleefully pounced, trotting out [...]
Count every vote that I need

It’s touching - or it would be if there was anything genuine about it - to hear Hillary Clinton drone on about how anti-democratic it would be if the Democratic primary election results in Florida and Michigan are not counted.
Clinton, who has been singing this song since she “won” those primaries, is now ramping up [...]
Going to Denver

There was an upset of sorts in Saturday’s caucus for the election of delegates pledged to Hillary Clinton at this summer Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Female delegates are Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll and veteran party activist Agnes Ricko of Lynn. But in the contest for the two delegate slots reserved for males, Rowley’s Stan Slepoy [...]
Another prince of political darkness

Interesting - now that Mark Penn, the pollster and senior strategist for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, has been forced to resign, at least from the strategist gig, we’re finally hearing from the mainstream press what we should have been hearing long ago.
Penn was pushed out for one specific conflict of interest - he met [...]
Dems set to self-destruct — again?

George W. Bush won’t go down as one of the great American presidents, and he wasn’t exactly a formidable candidate either.
So how did he win in 2000 and 2004? Well, he had a little help from the Supreme Court the first time around, but in both elections the Democrats put up candidates | Al Gore [...]
