Congratulations, President-Elect Obama. Those are the words he’s been longing to hear. The words the media has been longing to hear as well, as they have beat the drum very loudly on his behalf for a year now.
As I stare at the keyboard, the progress is slow.
Possibly because I have no [...]

I am delighted to see that Senator McCain currently has the wind at his back. Otherwise, this country stands at the precipice of one of the biggest electoral mistakes imaginable – making the singularly unqualified Senator Obama Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces and leader of the free world. By his own [...]

It’s about time pollsters started polling the way they have polled in the past instead of this touchy feely “Let’s Make Obama Look Good” routine we have been witnessing.
I don’t exactly know why pollsters have been giving Obama special treatment for the first time in the history of Presidential polling. But then again, Obama gets [...]

Barack Obama is not the “map changer” CNN and all the discredited Democratic blogs claimed he would be; he is a supercilious underachiever who promises to color the entire nation red, not blue. He is tied with McCain in Minnesota and Pennsylvania; he is trailing McCain in Ohio AND MICHIGAN; he is [...]

Move On already. They have SO jumped the shark. I used to belong to them until they endorsed Obama with a limited number of members voting, and with the voting rigged (surprise!) by Obama people. I bring them up because THREE different people sent me the following email:
Dear MoveOn member,
Yesterday was John McCain’s 72nd [...]

Okey dokey - so the big Veep selection is out, as you have surely heard by now: Joe Biden. Wow. All of this hoopla for HIM?? Frankly speaking, I am not a huge fan of his. Post 9/11, he found every opportunity to get his photo taken with President Bush in the Rose Garden. Oh, [...]

I am addicted to the Olympics. I LOVE sports, and am so happy when the Olympics come along. Sleep deprived, but happy. Anyway, Oxygen is one of NBC’s channels (who knew?), and has had different events in the evenings, like almost ALL of the Equestrian events, and synchronized swimming (hey, it’s HARD - it takes [...]

Breaking News from Mark Halperin and The Page. Governor Ed Rendell tells the PolitikerPA:
“I’m going to cast my ballot for her, and then the moment I cast my vote, I’m going to continue to enthusiastically support Sen. Obama. It’s going to be a good release for all of us.”
He said this in his interview with [...]

For Obama, that is. Larry Johnson has a great piece here at No Quarter entitled, “The Obama Messiah Is A Whiner. The title gives it away a bit - it is about Obama’s new claim that McCain “cheated” during the Saddleback Church Forum on Saturday night on 8/16/08. Yes, he is claiming McCain cheated, and [...]

OH LOOK! We all used to be so far apart! And now we’re becoming united! We are INDEED becoming “one.” That’s so beautiful. It’s like totally spiritual.
Uhoh. My cat just told me that it’s not good to come together like that. He slapped me silly with his paw, and told [...]

Family Unity is so cool, isn’t it? I mean all of us visit grandma every decade or so without the wife and kids, right? After all, why would any grandma want to see her own great-grandchildren and her grandson’s wife? It’s just not done, right? There’s no family dysfunction going on here at all, [...]

A prominent conservative Republican has stated the obvious:
In a tough year like this, Democrats could probably have defeated Republican John McCain with a flawed, but seasoned candidate like Hillary Clinton. But long-suffering liberals convinced their party to go with a messiah rather than a dependable nominee — and thereby they probably will get neither.
— The [...]

So the other day, John Kerry helped celebrate The One’s birthday (oh wait -dadgummit - that has now been labeled “racist,” too!!!). OK - do over - Monday night, Senator Kerry helped Obamessiah celebrate his 47th birthday. Kerry said,
“I asked Barack Obama what he wanted for his birthday. He said, ‘Indiana, Colorado and Virginia,’ ” [...]

1) Today’s NYT has a piece by David Brooks outlining his ideas about why Obama is not “slam-dunking” this election so far. Brooks basically says what we’ve said here at NQ for some time. Who is this guy?
There is a sense that because of his unique background and temperament, Obama lives [...]

Good grief - evidently, this is what I get for going to sleep at night. All KINDS of stuff has come up about Obamessiah. I scarcely know where to begin, and others are already writing beautifully about this at No Quarter, so I don’t want to be TOO redundant, but WTF about Obama wanting to [...]

Way back in 1988, with the country weary of 8 years of Ronald Reagan, the presumptive Democratic nominee–Michael Dukakis–was 17 points ahead of George H. W. Bush in the polls in August. We all know how that election turned out. The political conditions were ripe for a Democrat to win the White House [...]

So, guess what I learned yesterday? I learned that calling someone “arrogant” makes me a racist!!! Who the hell knew?? All these years, I had no clue that “arrogance” = “racist.” That’s what John Ridley wrote over at Huffington Post (that’s your warning for the link). Who is John Ridley, you ask? A TV writer, [...]

The latest Gallup poll shows the race in a deadlock: “Gallup Daily: Obama 45%, McCain 44%.” That means that Obama not only received no bounce from his whirlwind trip, but that McCain’s attacks are probably working, along with Obama’s own “issues” with arrogance and presumptuousness. I found two particularly fascinating featured items [...]

When Obama starts reaching for the race card for no apparent reason you know he is against the wall and has run out of options.
I have told people that Obama is not just going to lose, but he is going to lose in a landslide:
