The Obama/Bill Clinton phone call

Yes, the great drama over when and how Bill Clinton would give Dem nominee Obama his blessing and - outwardly, anyway - bury the proverbial hatchet over whatever slights Bill feels were directed his way in the primary has ended. Obama wasn’t exactly looking forward to a chat with Bill, but he did realize its […]

Obama TV: “Dignity”

Another inspiring biographical sketch is the subject of the Obama campaign’s second general election TV ad released today and immediately on the air in a host of battleground (and not quite battlegrounds) states across the U.S.
It’s another facet of the effort by the campaign to use the long months of summer to portray Obama as […]

The Buzz

After days of occasional teases about an impending overseas journey for candidate Obama, his campaign has finally confirmed the rumors and announced a grand foreign tour this summer, taking Obama to Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and Britain - Iraq and Afghanistan will come later, with the exact schedule under wraps for security reasons.

McCain TV: “Purpose” takes on energy independence

The McCain campaign’s newest TV ad brings up McCain’s recent “Lexington Project” proposal to foster energy independence and energy security. Part of this plan involves the offshore drilling he has started touting as well as the infamous $300 million electric car battery prize meant to make zero emission vehicles viable replacements for conventional autos.
It’;s a […]

Obama and Clinton in Unity for “unity”

The day we have been anxiously awaiting has arrived. It’s the first public campaign rally featuring a joint appearance by Dem nominee Obama and the vanquished Hillary. It all started off with the cutesy choice of the town of Unity, NH for the location of the important event, trying to show how these two are […]

Pool report: Obama and Hillary together in D.C.

The pool report of the donor event tonight at Washington’s Mayflower Hotel where Obama and Hillary made their first official post-primary appearance together. Tomorrow, of course, is the public rally with both of them in New Hampshire.
Obama made nice with Hillary on her campaign debt,  told an emotional story about how his own daughters were […]

McCain web ad: Obama as “Dr. No”

The folks at the McCain campaign continue their rather uncoordinated assaults on every aspect of Barack Obama’s character and political record with a truly amusing little web out today. Lacking cash, McCain was unable to release this as a standard TV ad buy. But the fun theme of Obama as “Dr. No” on energy security […]

Obama statement on SCOTUS D.C. gun ruling

The statement released by Obama following the Supreme Court handgun ruling basically contradicts much of what Obama has said in the past on gun control; certainly during the Dem primary.
But he needs moderates to feel comfortable with him and not give fodder to McCain and the GOP to dredge up his “clinging to guns” remark. […]
