John McCain Picks Sarah Palin as V.P.
It’s official, John McCain has picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, nicknamed America’s hottest governor, as his running mate. This shows you that McCain was serious about siphoning off women voters disaffected by Hillary Clinton’s loss in the Democratic primaries. I wonder how she’ll match up against Joe Biden who’s known to be a feisty debater. This should be an interesting election. This entry was posted on Friday, Augu

John McCain Picks Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
CNN is reporting that Sen. John McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate on GOP ticket for White House. So now we ask the question will Hillary supports flock to McCain now that he has a woman running on his ticket?

Palin has a good track record so far but they will have to put the “ready to lead” argument to the d

ADVERTISEMENT Two senior campaign officials disclosed McCain's decision a few hours before the Republican presidential nominee-to-be and his newly-minted running mate appeared at a rally in swing-state Ohio.

John McCain vs Madonna
I love me some Madonna but I always thought the political video montages during her concerts had to go. Remember when she covered Imagine and played images of black babies or some shit. No one wants to see that at a Madonna concert, give it up already you ain't no Bono, Madge. But I have to give it to her, even in her old age she still knows how to grab the headlines. First she kicked off that whole A-Rod drama and now she is stirring the shit with John McCain. Kicking off her Sticky and Sweet tour at the

Madonna's virulent attack on John McCain may be a blessing in disguise for McCain, as alienation from the pop curiosity that Madonna has become may be be more helpful than harmful.

'Celebrity' is to politics as gas is to cars: essential fuel for Lincoln, Reagan, Obama and McCain himself
When John McCain slapped the celebrity label on opponent Barack Obama in a TV campaign ad this summer, he — unintentionally, no doubt — linked the presumptive Democratic nominee to some very presidential company. Ronald Reagan enjoyed a 37-year career as a film and TV actor. Abraham Lincoln projected a more public persona on the campaign trail by handing out photos of himself. Bill Clinton's sax playing on "The Arsenio Hall Show" added a youth-centric sheen to his image during his 1992 presiden

McCain's VP Pick Palin Facing Ethics Investigation

But the 44-year-old Palin, who was selected as Sen.

Obama's new ads: McCain-Bush, not Palin
by Frank James The Obama campaign is out with two new ads today that continue their attempt to have voters see President Bush every time they look at Sen. John McCain. One ad features images of Alaska Gov.
