One of the so-called October surprises I was expecting was an international terror crisis that would let McCain trump his foreign policy skills; whether he would suspend his campaign and go wherever the crisis occured is [...]

Obama raised an astounding $150 million in September from 632,000 new donors among others; an average of $86 per donor. The public financing provision in the United States is a joke since soft money is not excluded and the respective National Committees of the two parties can run ads for the Presidential candidates as long [...]

I find the Nextel ad that uses firemen acting as legislators baffling. The chief with the gavel wants to balance the budget and reduce taxes but build better roads and provide clean water.
It reminds me of McCain last night who also wants to balance the budget in four years from a half-trillion deficit while [...]

Ronald Reagan used to say that the most frightening nine words in the English language were “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” That is no longer true. This year, the most frightening eight words are “I’m John McCain and I approved this message” [source].
Television pundits have never been so out of touch [...]

Now that John McCain has run out of ideas, he is bringing up forgotten dirt on Obama to make a last-ditch effort to turn the election in his favor. With the days when the Dow drops by nearly 200 points and doesn’t bat eyelids getting increasingly common, you must wonder if those undecided voters really [...]

The hypocrisy and flip-flopping of John McCain continues. The Keating Five investigation in 1989 was a major turning point in McCain’s political career. In fact, it even led to the redefinition of his career. Although he was cleared of impropriety, he was reprimanded by the Senate for poor judgment. McCain admitted his mistake and later [...]

After that intense round of questioning that saw Tucker Bounds blink, Campbell Brown brings it home once again by hurling the sexist charge back at the McCain campaign. Is CNN developing a backbone?

John McCain often brings up the issue of [success of] the surge on the campaign trail regardless of the fact that it is just one part of the largely unpopular war. Rationally, it shouldn’t even matter if one part of a war that should never have been waged succeeds or not. Probably it may allow [...]

When asked about Sarah Palin’s foreign policy experience, the McCain campaign has offered proximity of Alaska to Russia. However ridiculous that might sound (in that case, Ahmadinejad must know more about Iraq than Bush), let us *gasp* accept that premise for a second. I definitely hope so proximity to that wilderness called Siberia that is [...]

I was wondering when would John McCain and Sarah Palin begin campaigning separately. I assumed Palin would find her first foray into national campaigning a wee bit tough without the seasoned politician beside her. But it wasn’t Palin who had a problem.

Michael Cera is the only bright spark in an otherwise listless comedy.
