No way. No how. No McCain.

August 27, 2008 /

Here’s the text of Hillary’s excellent speech.

Here’s one of the highlights:

John McCain says the economy is fundamentally sound. John McCain doesn’t think that 47 million people without health insurance is a crisis. John McCain wants to privatize Social Security. And in 2008, he still thinks it’s okay when women don’t earn equal pay for equal work.

With an agenda like that, it makes sense that George Bush and John McCain will be together next week in the Twin Cities. Because these days they’re awfully hard to tell apart.

MSNBC sucks

August 26, 2008 /

Their convention coverage is just pathetic, as they like hearing their own pundits talk endlessly about the Clinton drama instead of actually airing the speeches.

Montana governor Brian Schweitzer is giving a pretty good speech ripping McCain on his energy proposals. CNN is showing it. MSNBC has Andrea Mitchell conducting an interview and saying that none of the speakers are going after McCain.

Just pathetic.

John McCain – The Sidekick

August 26, 2008 /

The speeches are getting much tougher tonight at the Democratic convention, though so far the cable networks haven’t been showing all of them.

Bob Casey actually introduced a pretty good line. After pointing out that John McCain voted with George W. Bush over 90% of the time, he said that McCain shouldn’t be referred to a “maverick,” but instead should be referred to as the “sidekick.” Frankly, if this was written by the Obama campaign, they probably should have had a better speaker deliver it, but at least Casey did a decent job with it.

Michelle Obama’s speech

August 26, 2008 /

Going back to last night, I disagree with those who feel that the Democrats blew it by not attacking McCain. It’s important to attack John McCain, but last night wasn’t the night to do it.

Michelle Obama gave a great speech, which was capped off with a great moment when the Obama daughters came onstage. Michelle needed to soften her image, and she accomplished that last night. I suspect the speech went over very well with Hillary’s female supporters.
