I was wrong about Palin – she’s much worse than I thought!
A few weeks ago I asked if I had been too tough on Sarah Palin. I’ve also expressed several times in the past few months how much I was looking forward to the end of this election cycle and the information that would undoubtedly flow from for McCain staffers. Well, the wait is over. Watch [...]
Daniel Williams on election day
I spoke today with Former Libertarian Presidential Candidate Daniel Williams about the election. Thanks to him for always being so accessible.
RHM:
Any predictions?
Daniel:
I believe Obama will win, getting close to 300 electoral votes. A landslide is possible, but not likely. Supreme Court appointees are my main concern, as I don’t believe the economy [...]
Election Day Live!
Tuesday, November 4th – 12:00PM Atlantic Time
The fat lady has sung. Congrats to Obama.
Tuesday, November 4th – 11:35PM Atlantic Time
The Massachusetts ballot initiative to decriminalize marijuana possession looks like it will pass easily. Interesting.
Tuesday, November 4th – 10:45PM Atlantic Time
Now they’re talking about impossible scenarios. All done. The mood on Fox News is somber, [...]
Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and the Same Old GOP Tactics
I voted last week via absentee ballot in my 5th presidential election. I voted for Barack Obama. I voted for him not because I think he is the be-all and end-all of presidential politics, but because I agree with much of what he has to say. In spite of that, it wasn’t my agreements with [...]
A Fox News Journalist Who Does His Job
I sometimes watch Fox News – not because I want to, but because I feel obligated to see their perspective. Fox News is, after all, the #1 rated cable news channel. And while most of it is suffocatingly biased there are other parts I truly enjoy and find useful. Shep Smith is one of them [...]
Bias in the Blogosphere?
There’s been a lot of talk this election cycle about bias in the blogosphere and the so-called mainstream media. And while some of it is a mixture of paranoia and sore-losing, the majority of the criticism has merit. In fact, let’s not kid each other, the mainstream media – with the exception of Fox News [...]
Should the U.S. Have a National ID Card?
“Do you think it’s time that a government issued photo id should be required at
polling places to prove your identity before you vote? I believe so and it’s
something I’ve thought about for years. Currently the only verification would be
to check your signature and how it compares to the one on your registration
record. What prevents somebody [...]
Hannity Nation
This is what Sean Hannity considers a “reputable source.” This is where all of the rumors about Obama’s religion, place of birth, parents, etc came from. It ALL goes back to this guy (read the article). Great source, no?
From the New York Times:
An examination of legal documents and election filings, along with interviews with his [...]
Has anyone had a similar experience?
I almost spit out my morning coffee reading this blog post by Seinfeld creator Larry David. I’ve had a hard time biting my tongue a few times this campaign season, but I’ve yet to be kicked out of any place. Is anyone else having a hard time biting their tongue? Larry David writes:
The debates were [...]
Am I wrong about Sarah Palin?
Have I been unfair in my analysis of Sarah “Barracuda” Palin’s candidacy? Do I have her all wrong? Is this just a case of a botched roll out – a debutante ball gone wrong? Personally, I don’t think so. Politico’s Ben Smith floats the possibility and touches on some internal tensions it’s causing in the [...]
