McCain’s denials

February 23, 2008 /

Looks like McCain’s flat denials regarding the lobbying issues in the New York Times piece might not be accurate:

McCain said and his office later released a statement claiming that McCain hadn’t met with anyone from either Paxson Communications (the broadcaster wanting the favors) or Alcalde & Fay (the lobby shop trying to get them the favors). Today, though, Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff dug up a 2002 deposition in which McCain said that he had discussed the issue directly with Lowell Paxson, the head of Paxson Communications. Now the Post has asked Paxson himself, now retired, and he says, Yep, I met with McCain and asked him to write the letters. And he thinks he remembers Iseman being in the meeting too.

Obama’s impressive campaign

February 22, 2008 /

Anyone who says Obama’s campaign is “all rhetoric” is not paying attention. Obama’s ground game, coupled with his Internet strategy, will be studied for years by acedemics and political strategists. This will go down as one of the best-run campaigns in our lifetimes.

Kos highlights some details from a reader about Obama’s ground game in Cleveland. It’s pretty amazing.

Obama’s vote totals and margins of victory have been exceeding the polls since Super Tuesday. Few reporters are focusing on this, as many of them are still stuck on the New Hampshire story where Clinton exceeded expectations.

In Ohio and Texas, the polls are tightening. It’s even in Texas and Obama is within single digits in Ohio. With his ground game and the enthusiasm of his supporters, I think he can win Texas and possibly pull out a shocker in Ohio.

Clinton’s Bizarro World

February 20, 2008 /

In Hillaryland, numbers don’t matter, red states don’t matter, and voters who voted for Obama don’t matter.

They invent their own math, and they try to change the rules. They’ve been beaten by huge margins in their current 10-state losing streak, and every week we have a new strategy and new lame attacks.

The latest attack claims that only Hillary is qualified to be commander-in-chief. This from the Senator who voted for Bush’s disastrous war, yet claims that she thought he was only voting for resuming inspections. She cast this vote without even reading the full National Intelligence Estimate that was made available to Senators and which detailed the problems with Bush’s WMD claims.

I’m sure Obama welcomes this debate. Her Iraq War vote in my opinion should disqualify her from being commander-in-chief. She screwed up, and she won’t even admit it.

Of course, none of this matters in Bizarro World.
