Nobody Does It Like Bill
My political pals have all been whispering to me about how insulting it is that Bill is just now stepping in at the last dirty second, and I don’t doubt their observations. Still, whenever I watch the former Prez at game time I can’t help but salute the master. Barackstar has studied his predecessors well, [...]
W&W: The Home Stretch: On the Ground with Campus Politico
Find out how Perez Hilton edged out The Clooney in the CelebriPresident.com mock election. Marc Mitchell, CelebriFantasy.com founder, joins to talk about the four finalists remaining in our contest.
After the giggles, Campus Politico’s Ben Adler discusses what youth organizers are doing in the final days of the Obama and McCain campaigns. Ted also asks [...]
Axelrod on ‘Countdown’: BO’s Strategy in the Home Stretch
Apart from one obnoxious quip (”With all due respect to Joe the Plumber, those types of messages are a bit draining …”) it’s a good segment. I am so saddened by thought that Obama’s grandmother might not be here to see him win. I am praying that she can make it through.
The Case for HOPE: Three Strikes, McCain’s Out (Plus Tonight’s Wilshire & Washington)
The tired antics and talking points of the first two debates were finally eschewed in tonight’s presidential brawl. Responding to some (actually) interesting questions about the false attack ads, vice presidential preparedness, single-issue voter issues like abortion, etc., the candidates finally showed some enthusiasm and articulated the differences between their respective partisan ideologies. Both candidates [...]
Olbermann’s Special Comment on Recent Violent Hate-Mongering
This fired me up. To think of the great risk Obama takes every time he walks on a stage somewhere to speak, and that some Republicans (particularly the ones at the top of their ticket) are not outspoken against their lunatic supporters is absolutely horrifying.
Today’s Heading Right Radio w/ MediaLizzy
Lizzy Blackney invited me to join her program today, and we had a great ole bi-partisan love fest. (She makes it easy, being very thoughtful and intelligent and such.) We discuss many things, including the role of the millennial generation in this election, our high hopes that next week’s final debate will deliver some major [...]
DNR magazine: ‘Obama by a Thread’
This article by Brenner Thomas (a Medill almun!) deconstructs Obama-as-fashion-icon and how style effects his power brand, which the campaign has tried to contain. Read through to the end for some very insightful comments from a short, loud, opinionated brunette with a penchant for her “Hot Women Vote Obama” button …
McCain Underpromises, Overdelivers; Still Grumpy Old Republican
Looks like John McCain’s campaign-by-distraction strategy is continuing to buoy his candidacy. He lowered the bar on expectations significantly by injecting the suspicion that he was ill-prepared and dodging the debates, then he leapt over it with heavy makeup, a neat combover and a combination of condescension and name-dropping that was intended to frame decades [...]
