Obama TV: “No Change” puts Palin in lockstep
Brand new TV spot - set to run on “national cable” - from the Obama campaign today takes dead aim at McCain’s pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
But it doesn’t hit hard over Palin’s lack of experience. Rather, the ad tries to lump together Palin and McCain as one in the […]
Real voters on McCain’s pick
An interesting article from a Raleigh, NC TV station with instant reaction to the Palin announcement from a few North Carolina voters. Remember that NC is a new battleground thanks to Obama’s primary success and intensive ground effort there. These innocuous quips are important.

The Obama campaign initially came out with a harsh jab at McCain’s decision that focused on Palin’s extreme lack of experience and the old “heartbeat away” line.
Bill Burton said the following immediately […]
It’s Palin?!
John McCain suddenly turned into the unpredictable maverick again - if just for a day - with his shocking and highly questionable pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, announced to a packed house (!!) in Dayton earlier today. The McCain campaign managed to keep the press guessing and the exact name […]
Veep Watch: Reports have Romney out
Fresh reports from various news outlets and other sources have Romney out of the mix for McCain’s Veep lost - but he will be in Dayton today for what Andre Mitchell calls a “talent show” for running mate race losers.

McCain will unveil the Veep and then commence a pre-convention tour with him/her through Pennsylvania and other battleground states.
The […]
