Calling Out Sexism? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 5, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, CNN, Debates, Ed Rendell, Hillary Clinton, Media Bias, Sarah Palin, Sexism | 86 Comments

Speaking for me only…
Oh, yes, Campbell Brown calls Gov. Rendell to task for his sexist comments about Gov. Napolitano. No doubt about it, what he said was sexist. Honestly, and sadly, it was one of the milder examples we have seen this year. Here is Campbell Brown, and Gov. Rendell:

We Miss DCMediaGirl! * Open Thread »

By SusanUnPC on Oct 19, 2008 in Barack Obama, Debates, John McCain, Meet The Press, Morning Joe, NoQuarter Radio | 112 Comments

As regular readers know, the quite liberal DCMediaGirl is very fond of the conservative Republican Joe Scarborough. She thinks he’s a great person and is very savvy about politics. DCMediaGirl has written about Joe and posted videos of some of his best moments in “Fair and Balanced and Good For You!,” in “Your Fourth [...]

McCain Delivers Big In the Final Debate; Obama Not So Much »

By Ani on Oct 16, 2008 in ACORN, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Debates, Hillary Clinton, John McCain | 164 Comments

What I find hilarious, and most accurate, is our bloggers covering the debate predicted that even if Obama took a nap at the table last night, or pulled belly button lint out of his own navel, the networks would have given him a win on style points. The real story however, is altogether different. [...]

Which Candidate Wins The “Who Gives A Crap About Me” Contest? A Debate Roundup. »

By Ani on Oct 8, 2008 in Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Debates, Dems4McCain, Hillary Clinton, John McCain | 137 Comments

I’ve been voting in Presidential elections for nearly 30 years, and always a straight Democratic ticket. Lord knows, the DNC has given me some doosies to vote for – probably why we’ve won so few of the last 10 contests. Whoever eventually wound up in the White House, I usually felt like it [...]

Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington with Johnny Mac and Why Obama/Biden Leave Me Cold »

By Ani on Oct 3, 2008 in Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Debates, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Palin | 182 Comments

Last night Sarah Palin showed she could hold her own with a 36-year veteran of the Senate. I’m sure she was a bit nervous – who wouldn’t be – after only five weeks on the national stage. The pressure for her to hit it out of the park must have been excruciating. [...]

Post-Debate Thread 3 »

By Matthew Weaver on Oct 3, 2008 in Debates, Joe Biden, Media Handling of Story, Sarah Palin | 328 Comments

SusanUnPC here: I can’t resist adding what Dick Morris, ordinarily NOT one of my favorite people in the world, said about Sarah Palin’s performance — he got it right:
This was an unbelievable win. In fact, I think it unveils a level of skill in communication that I really have not seen since Ronald Reagan. [...]

Joe Biden’s Gaffes, False Statements and Plagiarism Round Out The Obama Ticket »

By Ani on Oct 1, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Debates, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John McCain, Obamedia | 182 Comments

Joe Biden is getting ready to flex his big yaw at the debate with Governor Palin tomorrow night. Heaven help us! He is supposed to be the man who adds experience and foreign policy street cred to the inexperienced Obama ticket. Good luck with that, Joe. I suppose his being a [...]

Tracy and Brian Jopek to Barack Obama: Remove Our Son’s Bracelet from Your Wrist »

By Truthteller on Sep 28, 2008 in Barack Obama, Debates, John McCain | 241 Comments

All of us remember this comical segment of the first Presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. McCain mentions the bracelet he has been wearing in memory of Cpl. Matthew Stanley ever since his mother presented it to McCain in August 2007. Obama, in a desperate attempt to claim he too has [...]

Obama To McCain: You’re Absolutely Right »

By Ani on Sep 27, 2008 in Barack Obama, Debates, Hillary Clinton, John McCain | 309 Comments

Now we know that many in the KoolAid-sipping media are going to continue the Mad Hatters Tea Party and pretend Obama won last night’s debate. OK. So when you’ve finished laughing and can draw calm breath once again, let us remember that they’ve got to act like it’s a dead heat so we’ll [...]

Pre-Debate Questions: What Would You All Ask, and Why? »

Our live-blogging open thread will go up 10 minutes before the debate begins at 9 p.m. ET. In the meantime, here are some questions that Politico.com’s Arena editors asked “policy makers and opinion shapers” to contribute — questions these people want to see asked tonight. I selected a few randomly:
Jay Timmons, National Association of [...]

Navarrette lays a few good ones on the One. Do go read the Op-Ed. CNN has a big disclaimer on this one to let us know they may not agree.
