Verdict: Gore Endorsement Speech Gets an A+ for Delivery, But Did the Speech Really Deserve A Passing Grade?

My previous post announcing Gore’s endorsement of Obama speculated as to which Gore we would see this evening when he gave his endorsement speech… the milquetoast “Bruce Banner” Gore or Incredible Hulk Gore! Refer to Gore Endorses Obama, Finally! What this Means for Obama!
The Verdict: The Hulk, but with caveats.
The Good: Gore went on [...]

Back in the Hunt, No More Vacation, McCain Watch Your Back

I have returned to resume my assault on McCain and fight for truth, justice, and the Democratic way. Look for daily updates until election day (as currently planned) and look for McCain to wet himself through his depends!

Rasmussen Reports: We’re beating McCain – barely

Just before the weekend, Rasmussen Reports has produced its Electoral College update.  If the election were held today, Democrats would lead Republicans in the electoral college 260 to 240 with 38 electoral votes categorized as toss ups – in other words, margins that would justify Diebold and voting machine manufactures to conveniently deliver this election [...]

Why attack when the LA Times will do it for me? The McCain exposé of the week

Its nice to see traditional media doing their job this election year and putting both candidates under the microscope – unlike the pass they seemed to give Bush in 2000.   
Today’s McCain exposé is courtesy of the LA Times.

Is This the 1968 Election That Hillary Clinton Was Referring To?

First the Quote:

Clinton: …people have been trying to push me out…
Q: Why?
Clinton: I don’t know, I don’t know. I find it curious, because it is unheard of in history. I don’t understand it. And you know, between my opponent and his camp and some in the media, there has been this urgency to [...]

The International Herald Tribune reports that the short list includes:
Charlie Crist, Governor of Florida

The timing is [...]

Our Prayers Are With You Mr. Kennedy

Even though I’m supposedly a Godless Liberal, I must take a moment to send my prayers to Senator Edward Kennedy. Its a sad day when such a great intellect (and long time warrior for progressive causes) is stricken with as terrible disease as malignant brain cancer. My heart is with the family [...]

Pandering to Old People

“Let me be clear, privatizing Social Security was a bad idea when George W. Bush proposed it and it’s a bad idea today.” -Barack Obama in Oregon on Sunday.

Another Right Turn Equals the Wrong Direction

Came across this quote from veteran GOP strategist Ron Kaufman “By all yardsticks, this man (Obama) is a legitimate leftist candidate.”
I’m no master of giving directions, but after eight years of a sharp turn to the right under Bush, wouldn’t another turn to the right mean we’d be back tracking?
Ergo, wouldn’t [...]
