Pigs are flying – pundits on Obama’s speech

[NOTE: Last night I liveblogged the evening's events from the interesting accommodations for press-credentialed bloggers at Invesco field. See video, photos and and my thoughts: "Finally at Invesco, feeling like a sardine (but happy to be here to witness history)"] The bacon gained speed trotting down the runway and improbably…

Election Over

Based on this Dick Morris column, Barack Obama will win the votes of every woman in America. I’m consistently amazed at the ways our punditariat has of explaining why every good thing for the Democrats is actually bad. Hillary giving a good speech is bad for Biden and Obama. Biden…

Funkdaddy Supreme’s House O’ Speech

Barack Obama is apparently going to have his acceptance speech in front of a mockup of the Parthenon or something, an act of hubris unrivaled in modern times. Of course, there is no backdrop that Obama could have for his speech that wouldn’t play into Republican attacks on his “celebrity”…

The Hillary Speech

Initial review: great speech that did largely what it needed to do, and raised my hopes that Clinton does a joint ad with Obama at some point. Morning after: somehow, all the coverage has turned this into a potential indictment of Joe Biden and Barack Obama’s speeches. And the scattered…

Yes, But How? And Then What? And Then How Again!

Ezra notices the start of one of my favorite election year tropes: sure politicians have all these goals, but how are they going to accomplish them? But will Obama, amid the pulsating theatrics, also attempt the less glamorous and more difficult task of explaining specifically where he wants to move…

Obama/Biden

That’s the ticket. (I got the text at 3:29 AM.) I was enthused by precisely none of the candidates, and Biden brings with him some baggage that I worry about (mainly the history of saying bizarrely offensive things), but as these things go, it’s a not-awful choice. The Republican oppo…

Ad Comparison

Barack Obama: John McCain is out of touch because he has more houses than a sultan, rides around in golf carts and thinks that $500,000 a year is apparently enough to classify as working poor. John McCain: Inky file footage says that Barack Obama will RAZE UR TAXES. This is…

Bamboozled! Led Astray!

FactCheck goes and looks at Barack Obama’s birth certificate – the real, live thing that they can hold in their hands. Because they are not fucking nuts, they conclude that the document is, in fact, a real birth certificate which certifies Obama’s birth in the United States on August 4,…
