GOP convention back on track
The final decision has been made about the lineup for tonight’s festivities at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul. With last night wiped out by Gustav, the GOP wanted to at least put a few familiar faces up on the stage and attempt to kick off their delayed convention.
It was already known that Pres. […]
A name for Bristol Palin’s love interest
The identity of the father of Bristol Palin’s unborn baby has been revealed by the tabloid and entertainment press who handle this stuff so well. They know how to get to the bottom of it.
Turns out that Bristol’s boyfriend is 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Levi had a MySpace page where provocative photos of girls - perhaps […]
The Buzz
Conservative donors and the deep pockets among the GOP base are rallying to McCain’s side in droves with his lurch to the right and his selection of Alaska Gov. Palin as his running mate. After a respectable haul of nearly $30 million last month, the McCain campaign announced that they had rasied $47 million in […]
Palin picks up scandal after scandal
Gustav was the big news story this day, so voters weren’t able to find out much about the explosive developments concerning McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Politics was suspended for a day as the Louisiana coast dodged a bullet. That attention will not be diverted tomorrow, however.
When the majority […]
Did McCain know this? Palin supported Alaskan secession
The unknown hits on Palin keep rolling in to a ravenous media and a terrified McCain campaign all day. Unfortunately all eyes were on Gustav, but surely voter attention will soon shift back to the campaign and what is turning into a nightmarish choice of running mate by John McCain.

CBS national poll: Convention bounce for Dem ticket
The vaunted convention bounce has finally appeared in the polls for Obama, though far shot of the McCain campaign’s 15-point hyperbole. A new CBS News poll has Obama-Biden ahead of McCain-Palin by a substantial margin, 48% to 40%.
Obama shot up from a statistically irrelevant lead in the last CBS poll where he lead by a […]
Smooth sailing for Obama-Biden
Ignoring the polls that show little change in the numbers after both the Dem convention and the Biden running mate pick, it seems that the first week+ of the hot Obama-Biden ticket has gone well. Biden has kept his mouth focused on the task at hand - electing Barack Obama. JB is old news to […]
Palin wanted “Bridge to Nowhere”
More hits coming in on McCain over the shocking choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. A main talking point of why her lack of experience in government didn’t matter was her strong ethics and her supposed penchant for working with Democrats and talking “straight” when it came to ideas that just […]
GOP/McCain (hearts) Gustav
Major changes for the Republican Convention in St. Paul caused by Gustav hitting Louisiana for at least today include scrubbing all political speeches and scheduled speakers and trimming the convention schedule down to only official business for today. Beyond that it is unclear at this point. But by far the most noticeable shift - and […]
RNC Minneapolis/St. Paul - Day 1
Gustav has shredded the schedule of the Republican Convention on day 1, with all planned speakers shelved and President Bush and VP Cheney not even coming to MSP at all(good news for the GOP). But the official business must go on, so the schedule includes the call to order and platform-related business. The withered sked […]
