Has Anyone Considered Sellin' Alaska Back To The Russians?
DownWithTyranny! —
Once McCain went on record demanding that convicted felon Ted Stevens step down as Alaska senator, Palin was bound to follow along-- which she did, if reluctantly, yesterday. The Alaska Republican Party, regardless of the urgings of their presidential candidate, vice presidential candidate and titular leader, is painting a different scenario. They're urging conservatives to vote for the felon with the hope of getting him to resign or something after the election. But there's another possibility. First dude used to be a member of a bizarre fringe secessionist party, The Alaska Independence Party, which also ...

McCain's choice
Political Animal —
MCCAIN'S CHOICE.... Two weeks ago, A.K., a long-time regular, emailed me, asking why the Obama campaign wasn't hammering McCain in a television ad for admitting he doesn't understand the economy. A.K., I have good news for you. In this new spot released this morning, there's no voice-over, just on-screen text: "John McCain in his own words." Then we see the first quote: "I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." Then the second: "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." And the third: "'I might have to ...
"His Choice"
Hotline On Call Part Deux —
New Barack Obama spot reminds voters that John McCain said he didn't have the economic expertise and noted subsequently that he'd rely in a running mate who would have that knowledge. "His choice?" it asks in text across the screen. Cue vid of Sarah Palin winking at the camera. Running in key states.
Polls: Obama Still Has Stable Lead And Gaining In Battleground States
The Moderate Voice —
Most key polls still show Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama ahead with a fairly stable lead — as he continues to gain ground in key battleground states.
With a week to go until voting — and hours before Obama airs a 30-minute infomercial on several networks that could either help him soldifiy support or backfire and give his opponents ammunition — the polls paint a portrait of a race that now seems settled into minor up-and-down national swings, but with Obama gaining ground in several states that are in particular contention between him and Republican presidential candidate Sen. John ...
FOX questions one Obama ad, skips another
News Hounds —
FOX and Friends touched on Obama's new ad, "Take the day," several times this morning 10/29/08. They acknowledge that large turnout is expected, surpassing 1968's record 130 million, and more voters is a good thing for Obama. (Hence the frantic efforts to stop all the newly registered, newly interested voters from casting their ballots.)
FOX is dutifully presenting every last scenario, no matter how preposterous, wherein Democrats steal the election through fraud, whether it be animated characters going to the polls, registering and voting multiple times from your many homes park benches, or other criminal ...
Former Hillary (Now McCain) Supporters Say New Obama Ad Featuring Palin Winking Is Sexist
Political Punch —
Previous | Main Former Hillary (Now McCain) Supporters Say New Obama Ad Featuring Palin Winking Is Sexist October 29, 2008 8:10 PM They don't like the new Obama ad, these women. Feminist quotes courtesy of the McCain campaign. Shelly Mandell, president of Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women : "I am outraged by the new ad put out by Barack Obama. It is sexist and demeaning to women. These tactics started with Hillary Clinton and continue, growing even more disgusting with Gov. Palin. I was a Hillstar for Hillary and an avid supporter. Trashing two women clearly in a sexist manner in one ...
Election 08: Obama Ad Slams Palin
The Nation: Top Stories —
A wink is as good as a nod: An Obama ad finally takes on Palin and the unbearable frightfulness of her cutesiness, though not by itemizing her lies, sneers, and Joe McCarthy ways. It doesn't need to do that--just showing her face, at the right moment, casts her as the summation of John McCain's recklessness. It's not unheard-of for a presidential nominee to run ads against the other guy's running mate. Dukakis hit Quayle ...
Endgame: Oct. 29
The Caucus —
THE DAY Florida, Florida, Florida. If the state’s 25 electoral votes were the bane of Democrats’ existence in 2000, they have emerged as a target of opportunity for Senator Barack Obama in 2008. He ended his day at a rally in Kissimmee with President Bill Clinton — their first joint event. Senator John McCain campaigned in Florida, too, and unleashed a new attack on Mr. Obama — and The Los Angeles Times. Mr. McCain denounced the newspaper’s decision not to release a video of Mr. Obama at an event with a former leader of the P.L.O. The Times said it had promised the source of the video that it would not be released. Mr. Obama spoke to ...
This Is an Attack Ad We Can Believe in, My Friends!

His Choice and Response
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Barack Obama, 2008 President, Sarah PalinWe remember this ad from earlier this week: Pretty good, gets the point across, although a little weird to be taking a shot at Sarah Palin and not at the top of the ticket. It's a little reminiscent of the desperate shot Dukakis took at Quayle. And Bush/Quayle still won. McCain hasn't responded and Sarah Palin is too busy electrifying her rallies with attendees in five digits to speak for herself, so a couple of youtube outfits have jumped in to help out. The first goes ...

William Bradley: The TV Ad Wars Conclude
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Barack Obama's positive closer ad.
The TV ad wars between Barack Obama and John McCain are finally coming to an end. Obama is closing out with a ton of positive advertising, leavened with deft negatives linking McCain to President Bush and his failed economic policies, in a pair of ads that began running around the country on Friday. McCain has been mostly negative, befitting his trailing position in the race, though he has a positive closer ad. Nevertheless, despite his pledge this spring not to make Rev. Jeremiah Wright an issue in the campaign, at ...
A Hearbeat Away
Rising Hegemon —
And now she's ginned up a feud... with a talk show host. The 2012 primaries are going to be entertaining. On another note, my condolences to Attaturk with regard to the news that he won't have K-Lo to kick around much longer. This is going to seriously cramp his style. At least we'll always have Rich "Little Starbursts" Lowry. ...
Goodbye, Good Luck, and ...
