Governor Sarah Palin »

By NewHampster on Nov 3, 2008 in Sarah Palin | 160 Comments

Partizane writer Sharyn has written a well-researched piece on Governor Palin and graciously allowed me to cross post it here.  Thank you for the work Sharyn that our Fourth Estate should have been doing. When John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, I was interested in learning about her and her accomplishments. I’ve [...]

Dear Mr. Obama: Who Are You? »

By NewHampster on Nov 2, 2008 in Barack Obama, John McCain, Qualifications | 84 Comments

This video, this video I should have found a month ago has so elegantly put into words what I myself feel inside. It expresses that conflict felt by many Democrats and former Democrats. I am a Democrat. I have been my entire long life. I want(ed) a Democrat in the White House so we could [...]

Halloween Open Thread »

By NewHampster on Oct 31, 2008 in Current Affairs, Open Thread | 98 Comments

As this race winds down, appropriately near Halloween, what is on your mind tonight besides small beasties ringing your doorbell? Did you hear Ahnuld today with McCain? That “John McCain spent more time serving his country in a POW camp than Barack Obama has in the U.S. Senate.” Woah! And how ’bout THESE beasties?

Breaking News: Sarah Palin Effigy Taken Down »

This came from my friend izarradar who first posted it late California time last night on Partizane. Just saw it on the news, and here’s the copy from the L.A. Times: “A California couple who hung a controversial effigy of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin from a noose off the side of their house [...]

The Candy Effect Will Sink Obama »

By NewHampster on Oct 28, 2008 in Current Affairs | 113 Comments

Yes sirree, I just realized that Obama is doomed. Just in time for Halloween, Obama gets the Candy Crowley Curse. Like Howard Dean in ’04 and Hillary this year, one sure way to sink a campaign is to assign Candy to the beat. Now don’t get me wrong. I think she is a fine professional [...]

Just the thing to keep the blogger boyz up later at night. Their very own Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll. Don’t visit the site. Here are some chosen bits of marketing wisdom from the manufacturer’s catalog. Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll

Obama Reject Sings Anthem for McCain »

By NewHampster on Oct 22, 2008 in Current Affairs | 275 Comments

Friday I wrote about Zach Bencal of Londonderry, NH getting a last-minute call from the Obama campaign. They called to cancel the high school kid’s singing of the National Anthem at the Obama event last Thursday. Yes, they canceled the 90-second song that unites us so they could squeeze in more speakers. Today, when John [...]

$600 Million, $150 Million in September alone »

By NewHampster on Oct 21, 2008 in Barack Obama, Campaigns & Campaign Financing, Current Affairs | 126 Comments

Ok, we’ll get one thing out of the way. I suck at math. I think I’ve balanced a checkbook once and I’ve been forever thankful for online banking that saves me the effort. $600 Million dollars has been raised by the Obama campaign. He will easily pass all the $650m million spent in 2004. Somebody [...]

Dear Sarah, Dear Sister »

ed. note: My friend Izarradar wrote this on Partizane at the end of September and I feel so strongly that it must be read and passed on to every woman and man we know. Please pass it on so that every feminist you know can read it. They laugh at your voice, your accent. They [...]

“How Chicago Politics Shaped Obama” »

By NewHampster on Oct 19, 2008 in Current Affairs | 61 Comments

by Michele Norris NPR All Things Considered, October 16, 2008 I had the rare chance to catch an entire segment of Michele Norris on Thursday and I couldn’t believe I was hearing one of the Obamedia outlets do an honest look into his Chicago politics. The read is good but being NPR, if you go [...]

“Shivs You Can Believe In” »

By NewHampster on Oct 19, 2008 in Current Affairs | 88 Comments

Is the title of a sidebar in this week’s Newsweek.  It is a fairly good look at the tactics of Obama chief strategist David Axelrod, whom we know as Axelrove.  The title alone says a lot. If you believe in the One™, you believe in doing anything to win. By Richard Wolffe and Michael Isikoff [...]

FL Girl Called ‘Racist’ for Wearing pro-Palin T-shirt »

By NewHampster on Oct 18, 2008 in Current Affairs | 133 Comments

Read my lips people: S-T-O-P with the faux charges of racism; children are now getting on the faux outrage bandwagon. MyFox Orlando has the story: She’s only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year. That’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a [...]

National Anthem Canceled at Obama Event »

By NewHampster on Oct 17, 2008 in Current Affairs | 274 Comments

The Obama campaign canceled the National Anthem at Thursday’s event in Londonderry, NH. Canceled it for time to have more speakers. Returning to Mack’s Apples, Barack Obama spoke to an audience of thousands in my small home town of Londonderry, NH. Mack’s is the center of our town and a wonderful spot for a fall [...]

Remember New Hampshire »

By NewHampster on Oct 17, 2008 in Barack Obama, David Axelrod, Electoral College | 149 Comments

Over at my place Partizane, we have a discussion going on the polls and the internal polls.  Here is my cross post on what I feel is happening. Obama was in my town of 25,000 yesterday begging for our lousy 4 electoral votes. Tonight he’s having another Springsteen fund raiser in NYC because he needs [...]

Barack Obama – First President of The World »

By NewHampster on Oct 15, 2008 in Arrogance, Arugula (Elitism), Barack Obama, Current Affairs | 92 Comments

President Obama is now Inevitable so I’m wondering what the possibilities are for his first, second and third terms in office. Beginning November 5th he will of course follow protocol established in the primary and take over operation of the Executive Branch. He won’t kick GWB out of the Oval office but will continue to [...]
