Maybe late-night comics should be rooting for John McCain and Sarah Palin. If the Republican ticket loses, the comics will have to find new material.
Check this story out.
From Sept. 1 through Friday, the Republicans were the target of 475 jokes by Jay Leno and David Letterman alone. The Democratic team of Obama and Joe [...]

Watch Megyn Kelly go off on Obama press secretary Bill Burton.
It’s pretty stunning.

Is it me or she yelling almost the ENTIRE time.
Also, do the folks over at Fox really believe that their news is fair and balanced?
One thing’s for sure…Fox News will be VERY popular the next four years. An Obama presidency is the [...]

She’s in CYA mode now, and with good reason. The McCain campaign has nearly fractured her image as a populist reformer and she has to do something to try and salvage it.
From CNN:
Ensuring that news of the Republican National Committee’s sartorial spending spree will remain in the headlines for at least one more news cycle, [...]

Finally! Somebody on the far right wing is suggesting that Palin actually stand up to the best in the business.
From Politico:
Chris Wallace, on Fox New Sunday, said that Sarah Palin will not do any Sunday show in the entire campaign. “This has been a challenge that all serious candidates have always felt they had to [...]

When’s the last time you heard a local television news anchor quote Karl Marx?
Well, get ready, because you’re about to…

First off, I think Biden answered the way you should when somebody asks questions with such a heavy editorial slant. I mean that was laughably transparent. Karl Marx? Is she serious with that?
But second…I think what [...]

Hi, this is Danielle Ivory at the American News Project in DC. Thanks to Justin Gardner for allowing us to post story items here! We’ll start doing this regularly next week.
Just by way of introduction, the ANP is an independent non-profit video news organization in DC. We produce pieces for the web, but [...]

My, how things have changed…
Time columnist Joe Klein, who’s been a forceful critic of the McCain campaign (and already said he’s unwilling to accept a post-election apology), has found himself without a seat on the McCain or Palin planes the past four months.
In June, Klein was kept from boarding the McCain plane over what [...]

Has a newspaper’s endorsement ever affected your vote?
I couldn’t care less who my local paper endorses (The San Antonio Express-News went predictably for John McCain, in case you were dying to know). And, really, I couldn’t care less who any paper endorses.
It all seems so self important.
Thoughts?

This from a press conference after MTP
“I think Sen. McCain as gifted as he is, is essentially, going to [execute] the orthodoxy of the Republican agenda with a new face and a maverick approach to it. I think we need more than that. I think we need a generation change. My sole concern is [...]

Including one from Utah?
From E&P:
NEW YORK The Denver Post, which had backed George W. Bush in 2004 and is owned by Republican-leaning William Dean Singleton, this evening endorsed Barack Obama for president. So did the Chicago Sun-Times, Kansas City Star. Southwest News-Herald (Ill.) and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And to top it off: two more Bush [...]

Part of me understands, but another part of me finds this to be disingenuous.
She had two tough interviews and she basically botched both of them. And conservatives weren’t too terribly impressed with the Hannity interview, and she couldn’t have been in a friendlier place.
In any event, Fred Barnes has the story…
In the weeks after [...]

Mike Murphy hates them…
Dial groups are bad enough, but actually putting this madness on television as a verdict of some kind is reckless. I said as much at the beginning of my segment. First, the sample from one group is far too small to mean much. Second, turning this voodoo into a television spectacular [...]

Must see TV on Sunday morning, as NBC and Powell’s camp are giving hints that he’s set to endorse.
From CNN:
The former Secretary of State under President Bush, who has been coy about who he will support this November, will appear on NBC’s Meet the Press this weekend, the network has announced.
Rumors have long swirled that [...]

Politico shares that it’ll air on Oct 22nd and Oct 23rd.
It’ll be good to see her doing some more interviews…but when will she go on the Sunday newsers? Isn’t this pretty much a standard thing for VP selects?
Maybe I’m missing something…

Quick, answer these three questions.
Which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives?
Who is the U.S. Secretary of State?
Who is the British Prime Minister?
Easy, right? Well, if you got all three correct, you scored better than 82% of your fellow American who took the quiz. The questions were part of a Pew Research Center for the [...]

In this podcast we offer a preview of the third and final presidential debate between Obama and McCain as well as an overview of the state of the campaign. We also discuss our most recent election projection and the polling trends during the last week.
Additionally, we criticize both campaigns on their respective weaknesses and [...]

Just in case you missed it, the entire broadcast…

Guests include Jon Corzine, Rob Portman, Erin Burnett, John Harwood, Paul Gigot and Ted Koppel.
But still no Sarah Palin.

One of the more recognizable partisan hacks on the right-wing tears McCain and his campaign a new one.

Now, I think he knows why the McCain camp doesn’t put Palin on any of the Sunday newsers, but as far as the rest of it? A sure sign that nobody can leave this sinking ship fast enough. [...]

In a time like this, what kind of message are you sending to the American people when you’ll go on NBC’s comedy show, but you refuse to be interviewed by NBC’s journalists?
Still, I suppose this is somehow ironically appropriate given the seriousness of her as a VP pick.
From NY Post:
SOCCER moms and Joe Sixpacks, listen [...]

While not unprecedented, we haven’t seen this type of move in a while. In fact, I think the last person running for office to do this was Ross Perot.
From Hollywood Reporter:
Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of primetime television on CBS and NBC, sources confirm.
The Obama campaign is producing a nationwide pitch to voters that [...]
