    Palinology

    David Michael Green publishes another near perfect post about Palinology:

    Whoa and Woe: Living In Sarah Palin’s America (collapsible content, click to show/hide)

    I can’t tell you how despondent I’ve grown in the last weeks.

    Is there really no hope for this country, after all? It now appears so.

    In January of 2003, John Le Carre wrote that, “America has entered one [...]



    the meme that wouldn’t die

    Evidently AP is looking to interview women who were Hillary supporters who are now going to vote for McCain because he picked Sarah Palin as his VP.

    Because I believe many of the PUMAs truly are Republicans in Democratic clothing, I will be emailing to let the AP know why I, as a woman, would never vote for Sarah Palin.

    If you would [...]



    la belle dame sans merci

    The fevered dream of the GOP continues.

    I was going to quote some of Sarah Palin’s odious speech, but its Dr. Laura sarcasm and patina of lies made it impossible to stomach.

    The GOP has nothing but god, guns, abortion and war. There was nothing in last night’s speech – or in this entire convention – about how a McCain/Palin administration would solve [...]



    judgment day

    I never gave much credence to Hillary or anyone else who argued against Barack Obama on the basis of experience; executive or management experience is always good when you are applying for an executive position, but the post of President and Commander in Chief is so far afield from any other job that it comes down more to judgment, intelligence, critical thinking and [...]



    all i can do now is pity her

    Former Hillary Clinton volunteer Carol Anderson of Vancouver, who is attending the Democratic National Convention in Denver, made New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s snarky political column Wednesday with her less-than-charitable observations about Barack and Michelle Obama.

    Anderson stood in the back of the room at a meeting of the Democratic Women’s Caucus wearing a Hillary T-shirt, a hat signed by the New [...]



    another deft obama campaign headfake?

    Or the best news since Al Gore won his Nobel?

    WASHINGTON (AFP) — “Vote Both,” a group dedicated to persuading Barack Obama to pick former foe Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate, is folding, as hopes of a “dream ticket” fade.

    Organizers Adam Parkhomenko and Sam Arora said they were halting their campaign, based on indications that the presumptive Democratic nominee [...]



    still think that long primary season was a good thing?

    Hillary did us no favors “vetting” Obama for us as long as she did:

    The Wall Street Journal reports that Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard CEO and senior adviser to Sen. John McCain, met with a group of 25 prominent supporters and fundraisers for Sen. Hillary Clinton at a private home in Westchester County, NY. The group included several so-called “Hillraisers,” each of whom [...]
