Obama TV: “Erratic” hits McCain again on ability, judgment
There is a brand new ad out from the Obama campaign airing in at least Virginia but not yet officially released from the campaign. “Erratic” plays up a familiar theme from Obama and the Democrats in this campaign: That John McCain has ability and judgment issues, leading to “erratic” decisions and policies. The centerpiece line […]
Watch what you say…
And we were most concerned about Joe Biden’s mouth. While the Dem vice presidential nominee is in hot water for suggesting that Obama’s inexperience will be tested by “international crises” within six months of his inauguration, the most poisonous form of foot-in-mouth disease still belongs to McCain campaign surrogates. Seems they just can’t help themselves […]
Google for Obama?
After meeting with Barack Obama and a host of economic and business big-shots at an Obama campaign economic summit in Florida today, Google CEO Eric Schmidt gave somewhat of a wonkish defense of the Democratic nominee’s economic policies - and jabbed at McCain-Palin for tarring Obama as a a Socialist- the assembled press.
Meeting with reporters […]
The Buzz
Big news for this morning as more details come out about Obama’s decision to leave the campaign trail with only two weeks left in the race to visit his ailing grandmother in Hawaii for two days this week. His campaign will actually be suspended for the two days - Thursday and Friday - that he […]
Hillary and Barack, together again in Orlando
The white hot Sunshine State battleground is being blitzed by the Dems this week, with major rallies from Obama in Tampa and a joint one with Hillary Orlando today, while HRC had already been hitting the trail for small-scale events with south Florida Dems before meeting up with the Dem nominee for a mega-rally […]
McCain: Obama has plans like “Socialist leaders…in Europe”
Today’s North Carolina trail stops for McCain marked a return to the extremely sharp barbs leveled at Obama over his tax plans and government spending proposals, with McCain likening them to those of European “Socialist leaders” and essentially accusing Obama of being a closet Socialist. Ouch.
“At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire […]
Obama hangs with the next World Series champions in Tampa
Hey - we are based in Florida…
[Associated Press]
Thousands of people are still streaming into George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, and now comes word that some of the champion Tampa Bay Rays are about to go to bat for Barack Obama. Carl Crawford, Cliff Floyd, David Price and Jonny Gomes are here, and Fernando Perez […]
Obama nets incredible $150 million in September
The biggest story for the start of this week is the Obama campaign’s incredible September fundraising total of $150 million, a number that blows past any and all records and crystallizes just how efficient and impressive a money machine Obama has built for itself. Obama now has raised over $600 million during his campaign.
Senator Barack […]
The Powell Endorsement
Barack Obama finally has a bipartisan name he can drop that blows Joe Lieberman and his vigorous support of McCain out of the water. The somewhat unsurprising announcement from well-respected national icon and former G.W. Bush secretary of state Colin Powell that he is endorsing Obama came yesterday during his appearance on Meet the Press. […]
GOP blowback on McCain robocalls
Consequences from unusual places for McCain’s late decision to implement factually dishonest robocalls to voters in dozens of battleground states - even hiring the same firm that the Bush campaign used in 2000 to hit McCain with the auto-calls in South Carolina. The Obama campaign, Democrats and privacy advocates everywhere instantly denounced the implementation of […]
