Colin Powell apparent sent up some magic signal through hip-hop dancing that he’s going to endorse the black guy. Cell phone companies gave John McCain free cell towers. Just wait until he tries to cancel the contract early, though. It’s how they get you. I also think I figured out…
I was fully prepared to give credit where it’s due to McCain for this maneuver. But reading Pam’s post and Kathy’s post, my skepticism began to rise. Using surrogates to advance an attack and then “rising above” is a classic campaign tactic. To a degree, the Democrats are doing it.…
In the WaPo, the McCain campaign revealed that for the remaining days between now and election day they are going to focus on character assassination, since John McCain and Sarah Palin have nothing positive to offer voters. The only way they can win is to take the Karl Rove path…

You know what makes more sense than using the national stage of a presidential debate and the bully…
Some lady that I’ve never heard of and couldn’t care less about is supporting John McCain after months of supporting John McCain. McCain, having won the support of the rich woman caricature from an August 1965 edition of the New Yorker, is also mocking Obama for attending an expensive fundraiser…
It’s time to call them out on this endless BS: Karl Rove lambasted the Obama campaign on Fox News Sunday for its recent ad criticizing Sen. John McCain for his supposed inability to use a computer. Asked by Chris Wallace to comment on negative campaigning by Sen. Obama, Rove said…
