By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Pennsylvania, Polls

Another firewall state for Hillary seems to be fading away. From Quinnipac: Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, surging among younger voters, has cut Sen. Hillary Clinton’s lead among Pennsylvania likely Democratic primary voters to 6 points, 49 – 43 percent, after trailing by 16 points just two weeks ago, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released [...]

McCain Represents Change Too

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in McCain, Smart Things Said By Smart People

Justin touched on this story. Let me expound… “I did not know about these remarks, but I take responsibility for them. I repudiate them. My entire campaign I have treated Senator Obama and Senator Clinton with respect. I will continue to do that throughout this campaign.” That was John McCain yesterday, apologizing for remarks made [...]

Get Ready Folks…Another Obama Dresses Funny Story

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Partisan Hacks

I like how the title of this post is “Another Photo Of Obama In Muslim Garb?” The author does go on to admit that they don’t know if the garb in question is Muslim or not, but it appears as if it might be. Sure…okay… This is going to get old.

McCain Scores Some Points With Me

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, McCain

Some conservative radio show talk host acted like a, well, a conservative radio show talk host at one of McCain’s rallies. So when McCain found out he called him out on it. From The Swamp: Cunningham called Sen. Barack Obama a “hack Chicago-style Daley politician.” He also said he couldn’t wait until the media “peeled [...]

Well, I Know Who Lost…

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Debates, Democrats, Hillary, Media

First he kept cutting Clinton off and asking her if she’d agree to something that Gore said in the early 90s? Then he asked Obama that inane Farrakhan question AND repeated that idiot’s anti-Semtic slurs? Tim Russert, seriously…WTF? Also, was it just me or did Brian Williams seem like he didn’t even want to be [...]

Leon Panetta Blasts Clinton Campaign

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Hillary

When you start reading stories like this, you know it’s over… In an interview with The Observer, Mr. Panetta compared Mrs. Clinton’s top strategist Mark Penn to Karl Rove, suggested that the Clinton campaign had totally underestimated Barack Obama’s appeal, and complained about the overall lack of planning that he said had characterized the former [...]

No, They Didn’t Circulate That Photo…

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Video

And no, one of their top surrogates didn’t just say that Obama was wearing his “native clothing”… Nope, nothing to see here. Move along… But the funny thing is, even the studiously objective 2008Central.net says Hillary and company aren’t responsible for what she said… She (probably inadvertantly) kept referring to Obama’s Somali dress as his [...]

Bill, Seriously, Get Off The Campaign Trail

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Billary, Video

In the following clip, he actually says, “If you elect me, I’ll repeal those subsidies…” (Note: I didn’t know the video was autoloading (and repeating?), so you can go and see it here.) I really think that historians will look back on this campaign and agree that Bill has hurt Hillary SO much more than [...]

Quote Of The Day

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Billary, Hillary, Quotes, Texas

“The doors open at 7 and they close at 7:15. It would be tragic if Hillary were to win this election in the daytime and somebody were to come in at night and take it away.” – Bill Clinton, continuing to push the campaign’s meme that caucuses are unfair. Does he have a point? Discuss.

McCain Needs Strong, Limited Government Solutions for Healthcare

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in Health Care, McCain

As a John McCain supporter, I know he has an uphill battle. He can’t afford many missteps and will have to work hard to convince voters that he offers change from a better and more sensible position. As he moves into the general election, he’s going to have to buttress issues that were of less [...]

We Are Talking About The Clinton Campaign, Right?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary

In response to the Obama picture today, some fellow bloggers are saying that Hillary and her surrogates couldn’t possibly be this stupid. Well, I agree…I don’t think she’s that stupid, but she hasn’t said any of this stuff. However, she has surrounded herself with a bunch of politicos and surrogates who have demonstrated time and [...]

Texas, Ohio Polls Tighten For Obama And Hillary

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Ohio, Polls, Texas

Remember, if Hillary doesn’t win both Texas and Ohio, it’s over. And many politicos say she has to take the states by big margins if she wants to catch up with Obama in the delegate race. The math bears that out, but if she does win, I’m betting she keeps going because she’ll say she [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary

They have a history with this, but the campaign has said they don’t think their staff had anything to do with it this time. So should they be given a pass? Here’s more from TPM: Drudge reported this morning that Clinton staffers had “circulated” the photo. He didn’t say who circulated it, what level of [...]

Is the Clinton campaign undead?

By mw | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Ohio, Polls, Texas

in this world (It’s a small world after all), who would want a hard eyed, ball-cutting, arm-twisting, politically sophisticated, articulate, scary-smart policy wonk, who is a cutthroat negotiator, never gives up, figures every angle, a political realist and ruthless bitch sitting in the oval office and leading our country?
