McCain’s VP

The AP reports that Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota has “abruptly” cancelled numerous public appearances. Will he be McCain’s Veep pick?
Without explanation, Pawlenty called off an Associated Press interview at the last minute, as well as other media interviews in Denver, site of the Democratic National Convention.

Or, will it be Romney?
We’ll know by the end [...]

Biden

So, it’s Joe after all. Heh. Leaking that bumper sticker was an excellent diversion. Fun stuff.
This election is setting itself up nicely. Biden’s mouth will elicit a wealth of great blog posts. Can’t wait.
Now, who’ll McCain pick? Will he find himself an attack dog to counter Joe Biden or will he choose a lamb who [...]

Red Herring?

Hmmm…what’s this?

Called, Not Called

VP insanity.
We don’t know who has been called, but we know who Barack Obama hasn’t called yet.
Hillary Clinton has NOT been called.
Evan Bayh has NOT been called.
Joe Biden has not only NOT been called, it appears that everyone associated with him as gone to ground.

Of course, she was speaking of voters in Michigan and Florida whose primary votes are not being included in the tally of votes needed to secure the Democratic Party [...]

Say Goodbye to Freedom

If we elect Barack Obama in November, start getting used to seeing little bits and pieces of your freedom disappear.
Believe it.
Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.
“We can’t drive [...]

A Peek Under the Clinton Covers

I just love this kind of stuff.
The New Republic asked supporters, staffers, and others concerned with Hillary Clinton’s campaign to share what they think went wrong in her quest for the nomination. On condition of anonymity, they open up, and the reasons they give for cause of all the turmoil are delicious.
