We all know that John McCain lost the 2008 election rather badly, 365 to 173 electoral votes, and 53% to 46% popular vote wise. John McCain, with Sarah Palin, ran one of the most confused, mismanaged and off-message campaigns in recent history. Combined with the unpopularity of President Bush and the general damage [...]

I Told You So
By Stephen Noriega
I posted the blog on September 15th, 2008. It was right after the GOP convention, when everyone loved her. I said this was the worst pick for the John McCain campaign. Now I get to say, “I told you so” with pride, annoying volume and belligerent indignation.

Why HOPE Rings True
By Alicia Long
It seems HOPE is the keyword this election. In a year where the economy is in a downward spiral, America is looked down upon within the international community, people are losing not only their pensions and 401Ks but their homes, HOPE is the only thing that some have left.
Obama’s campaign slogan, “Change we [...]

Joe the plumber
By Leonid Balaban
I think that we’re going to hear a new line in schools after this debate. “Joe, who do you want to be when you grow up? A Joe plumber!!!”
This is from DailyKos:
Michael Grunwald: I’ll tell you one thing: joe the plumber is laying some pipe tonight. Tonight is definitely going to be sacred [...]

The Last Month of Dirt, aka What Will Stick?
By: Jet Peterson
Now that we have reached the last month of the campaign season, the mud-slinging is increased. The old claims and the old relations are being dug up to create a guilt by association. Barack Obama has been in associations with the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. John McCain has associations with Keating. Both are [...]

Attack the Policies McCain!
By Matt Knipple
So the first two presidential debates are over as well as a vice presidential debate and ever since the post-Republican National Convention and selecting Sarah Palin as the vice presidential nominee bumps Obama’s lead in the polls have widened a little for various reasons. So what should John McCain begin to do to [...]

My Friends, My Friends, My Friends
By Alicia Long
There were high hopes for last night’s debate between Senator Obama and Senator McCain. With Obama widening his lead in the polls (his current lead is around 4-9 points nationally), McCain really needed this debate to help him turn the trend back into his favor.
The high hopes that McCain fans had for this [...]

“That one” might just clinch it for Obama
By Leonid Balaban
In tonight’s debate, McCain might have commited one of the biggest mistakes in the whole 2008 campaign by showcasing his absolute disdane for Sen. Obama and refering to him as “That one”. This debacle came about after McCain raised a question of
“Who voted against the 2005 so-called “Bush-Cheney Energy Bill” again?”
“That one,” McCain [...]

McCain advocates for the troop withdrawal…
by Leonid Balaban
This is an oldie, but a goodie.
Perhaps Obama campaign should play this video over and over each time McCain says something about cutting and running or staying in Iraq until the “Victory” is achieved.

You can put lipstick on John McCain but…
An Appeal to Patience by: That Girl
I tell you, after watching and (at times) participating in the What-The-Eff-Are-We-Gonna-Do-Now freak-out session that defined the liberal base for the last two weeks, I’m completely exhausted. Lipstick on mammals and bridges to nowhere aside, the Palin pick had me and the whole world thinking, “Huh?” and wondering [...]
