Obama soars to big Michigan lead
Want to know how much of a boost the current economic and financial crisis has given Barack Obama after a month of bad polling and withering leads in the battlegrounds? Well, Michigan is a small sample size and this is only one poll, but the new results from the first Marist polls of the campaign […]
McCain TV: Surrogates like “Jim Johnson” still the main target of McCain
As if to make up for what every media outlet called a factually dishonest TV ad accusing Obama of keeping the infamous Franklin Raines as a “mortgage and housing advisor,” the McCain campaign made another move on the Obama surrogate front today and released a TV spot attacking Obama’s ties to Jim Johnson. Johnson is […]
Palin just can’t let go of St. Paul…

Obama TV: “Plan for Change” two-minute ad on economy
This is an Obama TV ad that was released earlier in the week. We didn’t have an opportunity to cover it before, but we thought it was still relevant enough to put it up now.

McCain TV: Two hard swipes at Obama with “Dome” and “Advice”
The McCani-Palin campaign is officially cornered and trying to fight their way out of the current economic conundrum. Hurt by the dire market crisis and that Monday flub from McCain himself on the trail that still haunts him, the campaign is trying to buy some time and another change in the dialogue with a flurry […]
Two new national polls show Obama back in front
The McCain-Palin bounce is officially dead. Hampered by the economy and losing momentum after a whirlwind three weeks of astounding success, McCain has finally lost steam and has again ceded the national lead to Obama in two new polls.
The CBS News/New York Times poll has Obama ahead 48% to McCain’s 43%. Obama’s biggest boost - […]
Biden hits his stride - and McCain’s economic record - in Ohio
Sizzling quotes today from late-bloomer Joe Biden at a feisty campaign event in Ohio - the type of blue collar environment that Biden was picked to handle - scalded John McCain on his response to the Wall Street crisis and provide an example (late, but an example nonetheless) of how JB can truly go for […]
What the heck is this?
Ralph Nader (barely containing a hearty laugh) in a truly bizarre viral video for his quixotic presidential campaign.
All you need to know to get your interest up is that Nader is musing about ballot access - and dressing up as a panda - and other things to a talking parrot named “Cardozo.” ‘Nuff said…
