McCain: The Bleeping Campaign

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 [...]

Halloween - Terminator Funny, McCain Scary

I have to admit he’s a card: I’m talking about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who today was busy trying pump up the flailing McCain campaign in Ohio. He cracked jokes, and made a few decent observations:
“He [Obama] needs to do something about those skinny legs,”
Ha, Ha, True True. But from [...]

McCain’s A “Socialist” Too

The whole “socialism” line of attack is a bunch of nonsense, and John McCain knows it.
Using “Joe the Plumber” as its wedging metaphor, The McCain campaign continues to  promote this idea that Obama wants to “redistribute” wealth, and in doing so, destroy the American dream.  Of course, in reality, it’s ironic Joe (with his less [...]

Chickens Without Heads

Oh yeah, you again - John McCain knows what it feels like to be trapped, and trapped he is.  Blue is quickly becoming the new Red,  and even his Alaskan Fascionista running mate can’t seem to stem the tide.
Nate Silver, for the New York Post, encapsulates it this way:
This situation is a reflection of the failures [...]

Va Va Va Vroom

In another ominous sign for the McCain/Palin folks, Virginia has gone solid blue.

And Gallup has Obama up by 11% nationally. Clearly, the whole Ayers line of attack is not working. Time to break out Rev. Wright for the home stretch? Count on it.

It’s Also The Little Things…

Everyone knows this a big election with big issues at stake for our country:  the economy, the war, energy, and repairing our nation’s image here and abroad.
I’d like to speak to the image issue for a moment and suggest that the image of Barack Obama - yes, his good looks, his deep, soothing voice,   his composure, his coolness, [...]

Holy Smokes

The McCain/Palin ticket, as a visual abstraction:
 
…a hate-spewing, poisonous plume of deadly smoke.   Gas mask anybody?

Maher: Bend it like Palin

Here are my favorite lines from tonight’s edition of Bill Maher’s “New Rules” :
New Rule: CNN has to get rid of that stupid voter reaction graph - at least while McCain is talking. Everytime I look at the screen I think “Oh my God, he’s dead”
No kidding - that graph has got to go…
In the [...]

Dems Whispering the “L” Word

The dreaded “L” word: Landslide.  
A month ago, who would’ve thunk it?   But now, with stocks markets in free fall, the economy in shatters,  and Obama looking more presidential by the day (or by the debate) - a democratic landslide is not inconceivable.
If swing states like Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina - go [...]

Debate Thoughts

Is it me, or is the town-hall format just awkward as hell?
It really creeps me out to see John McCain walking up and nearly touching some of these audience members.   Is he answering their questions or stalking them?
There’s something strange and extremely unnatural about the format, and it makes it difficult to focus on [...]
