Adam McKay: We're Gonna Frickin' Lose this Thing

"Stop saying that!" my wife says to me. But this is not a high school football game and I'm not a cheerleader with a bad attitude. This is an election and as things stand now, we're gonna frickin' lose this thing. Obama and McCain at best are even in the polls nationally and in a recent Gallup poll McCain is ahead by four points.

Something is not right. We have a terrific...

No, unfortunately, I don't think that John McCain's campaign is really over. But there has been an amazing confluence of events in the last 24 hours that have undermined every key basis of McCain's campaign, so much so that it is hard to see how anyone who is not an extreme right-wing Republican could even consider voting for him. If McCain survives the last 24 hours, I'm not sure what it will take to stop him. You start to wonder if he could drop...

Yes, I understand that McCain is a war hero and spent 5 1/2 years in a POW camp in North Vietnam but him and his staff are using that as an excuse for EVERYTHING. Even things that don't even relate. Check this out:

Facing a Democratic Party positively giddy over his recent admission that he didn't know how many houses he owned, John McCain quickly returned to a political...

Long read but a good one so read it!

by Miles Mogulescu

Like lots of progressive Democrats, I've been pulling my hair out for the past month as John McCain and his new campaign operatives have successfully tagged Obama as an effete, elitist celebrity, with no core principles who would sell out his country to win an election, while they successfully painted McCain as an unassailable hero who has devoted his life to serving his country over his party or himself. During...

This new book filled with lies and smearing Obama is from the same author that wrote the book that "swiftboated" Kerry in 2004.

Read below. I got this from Media Matters. Don't believe the BS.


Unfit for Publication: Corsi's The Obama Nation filled with falsehoods

Summary: In its preface, Jerome Corsi compares his new book, The Obama Nation, to his 2004 book Unfit for Command. The comparison seems apt: Just as Unfit for Command contains...

The Color-Coded Campaign
Why isn’t Obama doing better in the polls? The answer no one wants to hear.
By John Heilemann (New Yorker Magazine)

From the eleventh-floor headquarters of Barack Obama’s campaign on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, 2008 looks a lot like 1980—with the ideological polarities reversed. Then as now, amid a reeling economy and an energy crisis, the electorate was craving change. It had rejected the party that held the White House; it wanted something,...

OK, so I've been heavily following the Presidential race since Barack Obama announced his candidacy. Actually, I've been a big supporter and follower of Obama since his famous 2004 speech at the DNC and was so happy to see him run for the highest office in the land. I followed daily news coverage and read as much information as I could through the primary races and now that he's the Democratic presidential nominee I truly believe this country is ready to make history.

But I'm a little...
