What, on MTP? That’s got to be a first, right?

Posted in Posts, tagged , , , on July 14, 2008 | Comments Off

Everything old is new again?  Some things don’t change?  So many cliches apply, it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s hard to know what to think about something like this. Fiorina is one of McCain’s top advisors, and a leading McCain campaign surrogate. Campaigns are pretty selective about who gets to speak on McCain’s [...]

First Obama general ad

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on June 19, 2008 | Comments Off

I especially like the ending:  “I approved this message because…” rather than simply tacking on a speedy “iaprvthismsg” at the end.  It gives me the same warm fuzzy feeling that I got when I saw ads before the VA primary which exhorted the viewer simply to “Vote February 12″.  I mean, obviously, it meant, “…for [...]

Si, se puede, con Ed

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on February 16, 2008 | Comments Off

OK So I was catching up on some web videos I’d tagged in the past few weeks, and one of them was this pro-Obama video “Yes, We Can” produced, apparently, by a Black-Eyed Pea.  Or whatever.  I’m old, I’m not real sure what’s up with that. I was enjoying it, it seemed well done and effective, even if Scarlett Johannson had even less [...]

Campaign ads

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on January 8, 2008 | Comments Off

Tapped’s weekly ad roundup is about Obama and McCain ads going into the NH primary.  While I’m not on the Obandwagon I have to say that I found the ads to be pretty good, basic, easy-to-digest stuff.  But the thing which really jumped out at me was the ending slogan: “Barack Obama. President.”  Talk about [...]

Seriously?  Huckabee’s family lawyer’s name is “CRASS”? Wow. Oh, and eew.

Hi-larious

Oh, Mr. Jefferson!  I for one am GLAD you were elected President.  And are known as “Author of the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, Author of the Declaration of Independence, and Father of the University of Virginia.”  Especially that last part.

Speaking of political vitriol

Posted in Posts, tagged , , , on November 30, 2007 | Comments Off

People don’t believe me when I say that there’s no way to underestimate the anti-Clinton (both Clintons) vitriol out there.  They really don’t.  (See below.) Of course, there are also loud groans of protest when I insist that, if he gets the nomination, Giuliani will win.  These groans all come from New Yorkers, who understand [...]

Wow, that was fast

First comment on this story: “Vince Foster is back, and he is pissed” Good god. This is, of course, leaving aside how cracked-out it is that someone walked in to a campaign office (ANY campaign office) and created a bomb scare/hostage situation. I just want to say that I hope everyone at HRC’s office is [...]

WWHuckD?

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on November 29, 2007 | Comments Off

I’m glad I’m not the only person who noticed this.  Listening to Morning Edition today, as I do in my sleepy stupor while getting ready for work, I heard the sound clip:  “For those of you who call yourselves Christian conservatives….The death penalty….WWJD?”  Huckabee:  “Jesus was way too smart to ever run for public office.”  [...]

Braces

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on October 30, 2007 | Comments Off

Because making fun of Chelsea’s braces was so much fun, now we’re going to criticize (see comments) her career choice?   Oh yes, do let’s nominate her mom as Democratic presidential candidate.  I just can’t wait for the chattering classes to start rabbiting on about all this crap. Again.
