Where was this John McCain during the campaign?
 
When he says “bleeping campaign” - I wonder if he really means “those bleeping fools who were running my campaign”…
Good stuff.  I guess now that all his leeching handlers have packed up and gone searching for their next meal ticket, John McCain can once again go back to [...]

In this New Yorker profile, Naomi Klein compares successful advertising slogans…
…she [Klein] doesn’t spend time wishing Obama were more progressive. “I don’t want to appear too cynical, but when I first saw the ‘Yes We Can’ rock video that Will.I.Am made, my first response was ‘Wow, finally a politician is making ads that are as [...]

Zogby and Ziegler - it sounds like the circus, doesn’t it?
Well then, that thud you just heard was John Zogby falling off his partner’s flimsy trapeze.

The back and forth rhetoric between stat guru Nate Silver and “entertainer/host” John Ziegler is a wonderful window into the pathetic state of affairs on the far right.

The McCain/Palin wall of lies continues to crumble.   Yesterday, William Ayers further discredited the notion that he and Obama were somehow in nefarious cahoots together:
“This idea that we need to know more, like there’s a dark hidden secret, a secret link, is just a myth,” Ayers said. “And it’s a myth thrown up by people who [...]

While we’re on the subject of Hillary, Nate Silver gets all hypothetical, and wonders what would have happened if Hillary had defeated Obama in the primaries:
…If Hillary Clinton had headed the Democratic ticket, would John McCain have been dumb enough to name Sarah Palin as his running mate? 
No, and without Palin, who knows how far [...]

How we crave political intrigue!  No elections for awhile, so here’s the next best thing:
What does Hillary Clinton really want?
If she joins Obama’s cabinet, then clearly her wagon would be hitched to his…
On Monday night, while walking into an awards ceremony in New York, Senator Clinton was asked if she would consider taking a post in the [...]
