William F. Buckley’s Son Says He Is Pro-Obama; Writes Own Headline
Let me be the latest conservative/libertarian/whatever to leap onto the Barack Obama bandwagon. It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive. They’d cut off my allowance. Funny, but probably not the best week to make jokes about father's (or grandfather's) cutting kids off. Mr. Buckley continues, "The only reason my vote would be of any interest to anyone is that my last name happens to be Buckley—a name I inherited." [Again, "inherited" is probably not a good w

Obama fundraiser, convicted of fraud, spills beans
AP - Jailed political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive. Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable. Rezko also was friendly with Obama — offering him a

Obama notes McCain’s effort to temper GOP comments
AP - Barack Obama acknowledged Saturday that John McCain has asked his supporters to temper their attacks on him. But the Democratic presidential nominee said the Republican’s economic plans remain wrong for the country. "I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other," Obama told supporters in Philadelphia. He said McCain "has served this country with honor, and he deserves our thanks for that." However, Obama said, McCain "still doesn’t get it" reg

Palin drubs Obama on abortion during Pa. rally
Palin says a vote for Obama is, in her words, "a vote for activist courts that will continue to smother the open and democratic debate that we deserve and that we need on this issue of life." Palin made her remarks Saturday during a rally before about 5,000 people in Johnstown, about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. On Saturday night, the self-described "hockey mom" is scheduled to drop the ceremonial first puck when the Flyers open their NHL season in Philadelphia against the New York Rangers. Share with

Gay-rights wedge issue fading away?
For more than four years, the Bush White House has run against any changes in the law that would allow gay Americans -- even his vice president's daughter -- to marry. Under the guidance of political maestro Karl Rove, George W. Bush even ran against gay rights in his 2004 re-election bid. The strategy: push a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman and thereby stir the base of evangelicals to the polls. It worked. Now, four years later, the climate has changed,

If Chosen For Obama's Cabinet, Angry Robert Redford Will Not Serve [Sundance]
When he wasn't regaling Sundance press Thursday with his Chairman's History of the Festival, he spoke candidly about his prospects for duty in a more arts-friendly Barack Obama administration. As in, zero."No," Redford replied sharply when asked if he might consider a role working with the incoming president, who is said to be mulling the introduction of a "culture czar" in Washington. It's nothing personal — the man does have other things to do, and there is some lingering bitterness over his last tr

McCain shies away from recent days’ attacks
AP - Republican John McCain, the clock ticking down on a chance to narrow Democrat Barack Obama’s lead in polls, turned away Saturday from visceral attacks on his rival to pivot back toward policy differences. McCain kept his speech in this Iowa river town focused on the economy and other policies, a striking change from just days ago when his campaign redoubled its challenge to Obama over his association with a former ’60s radical. McCain also claimed that American voters didn’t really k

Does McCain Really Expect Voters to Buy the Obama-Terrorist Line?
On Thursday, John McCain at last did away with all above-the-fray pretense and added his voice to the right-wing chorus now openly trying to portray Barack Obama as a fundamentally anti-American figure. McCain, whose running-mate previously accused the Democratic presidential nominee of “palling around with terrorists,” sought to frame Obama’s rather tenuous connection with Bill Ayers in the most sinister terms possible. “Senator Obama says he was just another guy in the neighborhood,” McCain sa
