McCain to Biden: Too early to celebrate

features.csmonitor.com - 12th Oct 2008

Joe Biden: In response to a Joe Biden email telling supporters that the “McCain campaign is on the ropes,” the McCain camp responded that it is too early to celebrate. “Being an underdog is a role that John McCain relishes and with 26 days left I don't think Joe Biden should pop the champagne just yet,” said McCain spokesman Ben Porritt. “We are confident that as people make their decisions they will choose John McCain, a maverick with a real record over Barack Obama —an unknown commodity with radical associations and poor judgment.” Biden email Biden’s email encouraged supporters to donate $5 or more “to show John McCain and Governor Palin that when they attack us with lies and smears, it litera Read full story at features.csmonitor.com

YOUNG JEEZY GETTING POLITICAL…AGAIN…
There’s less than a month until Election Day, and Young Jeezy is still putting the word out for everyone to get to the polls this year. The Snowman is leaning heavily toward the Democratic side, especially since Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. “I like Joe [Biden] a little bit better than Sarah,” Jeezy said recently. “I understand she’s the soccer mom and all that, and that’s good.

Obama Noose Poster New Low In Citizen Propaganda [The Internet]
Those people making Barack Obama monkeys and booing John McCain for saying Obama is a person "you do not have to be scared of?" Some of them have blogs! Which means they are free to put all sorts of terrible things on the Web, like the virtual poster at left, the one with Obama, a noose, and the headline, "Asphyxiation/The Fucking Solution." The gent who made that lovely thing, and posted it to his website Sunday night, said he did so in retaliation for comparably nasty images of Sarah Palin (also at left),

Ifill: Palin "Blew Me Off"
Gwen Ifill joined Tom Brokaw and others on Meet the Press this morning as part of a panel discussing the VP debate. She describes how she was put in a tough position as moderator because of both candidates' styles. "Joe Biden decided that he was going to debate John McCain, and she decided she was going to give a stump speech to the American people, there's very little a moderator can do," said Ifill. Below is the clip from MTP, and after the jump, check out Saturday Night Live's interpretation of the debat

I don’t usually chat about politics
But this video really got under my skin. I have not talked about my particular vote in this election or who I believe or don’t believe. I post little random tidbits because quite frankly I feel everyone should be allowed to vote for who they think would do the best job possible. But then I see a video like this and it really disturbs me. No wonder our Country can not move forward because a lot of people are still living in the past. I feel very strongly that if we don’t learn from the past

Show-Stopper: Anthony Weiner's Palin-Biden Joke
Here’s Representative Anthony Weiner saying that the vice presidential debate proved “undeniably, undeniably, we saw a vice presidential candidate who had nice legs. I won’t dispute that.” Weiner, who is dating Hillary Clinton’s body person Huma Abedin, went on to say, “but we also saw a vice-presidential candidate who tried to explain her running mate’s health care position.” Weiner was speaking at the fall meeting of Al Sharpton's National Action Network at the Sheraton New York hotel.

POLITICIANS OR MOB BOSSES, PT. 5
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asks Obama spokesperson Bill Burton about the “ugliness” we’ve seen at Palin-McCain rallies in recent days… Burton, ever on the “on-message” guy, downplayed the significance of the random calls for murder and instead claimed that whatever “anger” exists over there is misplaced, that what McCain should be angry about the shrinking middle class… blah blah blah. So we’ve got Joe Biden rightly calling attention to this

Jim Piccillo Introduces Joe Biden as John McCain
Jim Piccillo introduced Joe Biden at a rally as "the next Vice President of the United States John McCain." The audience clapped on cue. Would they have still clapped if McCain really walked out on stage? Jim Piccillo, who is a father of two, is a Republican who started campaigning for Barack Hussein Obama after Jim was laid off from his job. I have to wonder if perhaps Jim lost his job because he kept making simple mistakes like calling people by the wrong name. Rela

McCain Reschedules Letterman; Obama Receives Network Bargain
So let's see if David Letterman will ease up on John McCain now that the Republican presidential candidate is slated to appear Thursday on The Late Show. I think Dave and his writers are right now making plans to further ridicule the guy. Dave's been merciless ever since McCain angered Letterman by cancelling at the last minute September 24th over the economic crisis, claiming that he was heading to Washington DC that second, and then sitting for a NYC interview with Katie Couric instead. (See David Letterm

Campaiging for Obama, Celebrating Hillary
For a while, the political rally that took place in Scranton, Pennsylvania on October 12 seemed to be taking place in a parallel universe in which Hillary Clinton is running a general election campaign. Scranton, of course, is Clinton Country. Older white women constituted the majority of the crowd inside the Astroturf carpeted sports complex, and many of them wore Hillary buttons on their shirts. Several of the men wore Hillary buttons on the suspenders they used to hold up their jeans. Bill delivering a

The debate season that has chewed up its moderators comes to a close Wednesday when John McCain and Barack Obama meet for the third time, with CBS News' Bob Schieffer directing the discussion.

Obama and McCain Focus on the Health Care Issues
WASHINGTON,DC(RUSHPRNEWS)10/09/2008--In this week’s debates, the candidates spent a lot of time talking about health care. Health care is on a lot of people’s minds this election, as health insurance rates keep rising and leave many families unable to afford much-needed health care. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a health care plan that will make quality health care affordable and accessible for every American. It builds on the existing health care plan. So if you like you’re health in

Obama knocks on doors, surprises voters
Barack Obama jetted back to Ohio today to spend three days preparing for his final debate with John McCain. But before he holed up with his advisers, the candidate began knocking on doors in Holland, Ohio, making his way through a neighborhood of modest ranch and split-level homes. His move to the Toledo area comes as a new Ohio Newspaper poll puts the race at a dead heat, 48-46 for McCain. That's tightened considerably since the group's September survey had Obama down six points, 48-42. Sue Sekel, a 43
