How about DC's Suburbs?
I think Sarah Palin just accused all the voters in Virginia's DC suburbs of being anti-American.
Sugar Momma? Did You Buy John a Lead on Intrade?
Is Cindy McCain the one who deliberately lost thousands on Intrade to make it look like McCain was doing better than he was?
SCOTUS Sides with Secretary of State Brunner
It appears that SCOTUS has ruled with Ohio's Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (and overturned one of the politicized 6th Circuit Court's decisions) that she should not have to alert county officials to newly registered voters whose records don't exactly match state records.
The Supreme Court is siding with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.
The justices on Friday overruled a federal appeals court
What about McCain's Terrorist Sympathizer Pals?
Let's see: In addition to Gordon Liddy, McCain also palled or pals around with John Singlaub and Carl Lindner. Who's got the terrrorist problem, again?
Two Years to Indict Tan Nguyen
Remember Tan Nguyen? He's the asshole who, in his race against Loretta Sanchez in 2006, sent out fliers in Spanish to recently registered voters warning that immigrants could be imprisoned if they voted.
He was indicted on October 1 on one charge of obstruction. Two years after he tried to dissuade Latinos from voting.
Now, I'm thrilled he's been indicted.
The Secret Service Eliminates Violent Racism!!!
The Secret Service has decided it's better if they just pretend Sarah Palin's not inciting ugly racism.
The Iseman Cometh
Honest, Vicki Iseman says. She didn't ask to share a blanket with John McCain.
McCain to Embrace ANOTHER Unqualified Nut Tied to Scandal
Scott Horton explains that the McCain camp and Bill Kristol are in such a tiff because McCain's loyalists are pissed at Kristol for sticking them with Palin.
SH: Right. And if you look just in the news cycle from the last 48 hours, I would say the anger and irritation between a number of the senior people in the McCain camp and Bill Kristol has become really acute.
DNC Targets Legislative Races
The DNC's now targeting state legislative races.
The Illegal Wiretappers in John McCain's Backyard
How convenient that AT&T and Verizon--the two biggest known collaborators on the illegal warrantless wiretap program--are the two companies bending over backwards to give McCain his own personal telecomm system.
Debate Prediction: Schieffer Raises Ayers
Will McCain have to choose his manhood or his honor during tonight's debate? With Bob Schieffer as moderator, I predict he won't have to make that choice.
Todd Wormtongue
Todd Palin reminds me of the character Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings, lurking around and spying for the tyrants in power. And some of it may have been illegal.
Putin Invades Alaska
I thought Sarah Palin promised she'd prevent Vladimir Putin from invading the US. But while she's been distracted with her VP bid, the Russians went and invaded Alaska.
Who Signed the Explicit Authorization to Torture?
Joby Warrick reports about two memos that explicitly authorized the CIA to torture. What he doesn't reveal is who signed those memos. Did George Bush sign a memo authorizing torture?
McCain's One Consistent Stance: Admitting the Danger of Erratic Behavior
Once again, McCain argues that you shouldn't vote for someone--like him--who is so erratic.
Tom Davis Supports Waxman's Demand for Cheney's Interview Materials
Tom Davis supports Waxman's report that Bush improperly invoked executive privilege to protect the Cheney interview materials. But I think he was just helping the Bush Administration sustain its firewall protecting Bush's involvement in the outing of Valerie Plame.
McCain's Impotence, Lynch Mob Edition
John McCain claims to be absolutely impotent to stop the lynch mob mentality of his latest campaign rallies.
More to Come in Alaska
TrooperGate is not done in Alaska.
First, Walt Monegan is a little bit tired of being called "rogue" by Sarah Palin.
Gov. Sarah Palin's former public safety commissioner says the governor smeared him and he wants a hearing to clear his name.
Walt Monegan on Monday asked the state personnel board to allow him a chance to disprove the vice presidential nominee's assertion he was a "rogue" and insubordinate commissioner.
Yes
This morning, I asked, "Did McCain reverse course on his new economic plan to wait for Obama's plan?" The answer to that question appears to be "yes."
