Good thing he kept his day job. Why the meeting? It's good press for both of them. Obama looks bipartisan, McCain […] read

Joe Lieberman Can Still Sit in His Favorite Chair
[…] him keep it. But these Democrats are no wimps. This ain't the Mommy party anymore, no way. There must be repercussions. So as punishment for campaigning on behalf of John McCain, speaking at the Republican National Convention, musing that it's a "good question" whether Obama is a Marxist, and saying that Obama hasn't always "put the country first," the Democrats ruthlessly stripped away Lieberman's seat on the less prominent Private Sector and Consumer Solutions to Global Warming and Wildlife […] read

John McCain, This Bud's for You

Conservative Identity Politics
[…] or regional. And absolutely, the fact that she's a woman was a factor as well, a sort of trump card for leftwing identity politics. But it's no coincidence that John McCain needed help with precisely these constituencies and demographic groups. Those overly vexed by her selection seem to forget that John McCain was actually trying to win the election. And all due respect to the potential electoral juggernaut that would have been McCain-Pawlenty '08, I just don't see a lot of merit to the […] read

If the Employee Free Choice Act Applied to Presidential Elections...
[…] by unions that any presidential candidate would love to have. Consider: If the 2008 presidential election had been governed by current NLRB election rules and John McCain were in the position of the union (and while acknowledging the imperfections inherent in a union election/presidential election analogy): * McCain would've been able to time the election to coincide with when he was leading Obama in the polls * McCain could've decided which group of voters would be […] read

John McCain, unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers has decided to break his silence and cash-in by promoting his books.Although he described himself as "an unwitting and unwilling participant thrust up on stage" for the 2008 presidential election, he demonstrated his opportunistic traits by appearing […] read

Slate 'Advice' for GOP: Become 'Green Old Party'
[…] advice" for Republicans: Go Green and become just like Democrats. Your humble correspondent previously chronicled Beam's earlier advice suggesting that John McCain could "rehabilitate" himself by angering Republicans and disowning Sarah Palin. Therefore you can take Beam's latest suggestions about Republicans becoming like Democrats with a huge grain of salt: If the Republican Party wants to recover from the Great Drubbing of 2008, it shouldn't waste too much time […] read

In the Autoblog Garage: 2009 HUMMER H3T Alpha
[…] Barack Obama was new, different and promised an uncharted path to better times, the physical manifestation for this country of what the Chevy Volt is to GM. John McCain was both fiery and familiar, a well-liked veteran returning once again with a vision for America that was the same but better, just like the new Camaro. If Obama is to the Volt as McCain is to the Camaro, then that would make our current president the HUMMER H3T. It's the lame duck truck.Gallery: In the Autoblog […] read
