Someone Should Tell McCain That Hillary Lost While I understand why John McCain might want to emulate some aspects of Hillary Clinton's primary campaign -- she did, after all, come in a strong second place, having inspired almost 18 million votes and a hugely passionate base of support -- one does question the wisdom of some of the messaging team McCain is using against Obama that's right out of the Clinton playbook, messaging that did not work. As we saw in McCain's "high gas prices are your fault!" ad yesterday, McCain has a go at mocking Obama's "hope" rhetoric, as Clinton had done, with the line at the end: Don't hope for more energy, vote for it. At least Hillary Clinton mocked Barack's hope mongering in contrast to her results-oriented persona -- in the clouds idealist vs. grounded realist. McCain is making no such case. Now today we see John McCain trying another Clinton tactic -- mocking Barack Obama as a media darling (umm, pot meet kettle much?) Check out this web ad, which, while somewhat amusing, I think actually feedburner.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Indicted For War Crimes, Sudan Cites U.S. As Example Why It Needn't Comply Last week, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC) filed charges for the first time against a sitting head of state, charging President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan with three counts of genocide, five counts of crimes against humanity and two counts of war crimes. Fareed Zakaria had Sudan’s ambassador to [...] feedburner.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 DCCC reserves ad time in 20 more districts The DCCC reserved ad time in 35 districts a few weeks back, and now they have upped the ante with $18 million more in 20 districts. A critical disclaimer is that the DCCC is reserving time, not buying it. They don't have to use it, and in some cases, they won't. Other districts not on this list, or the previous one, will likely see DCCC ad buys this cycle. Without further ado: Democratic-Held Districts: AL-05, open AZ-08, Gabrielle Giffords CA-11, Jerry McNerney IL-14, Bill Foster MS-01, Travis Childers Republican-Held Districts AL-02, open CA-04, open FL-18, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen FL-21, Lincoln Diaz-Balart FL-25, Mario Diaz-Balart ID-01, Bill Sali IL-10, Mark Kirk IL-11, open LA-04, open MO-06, Sam Graves NJ-03, open NY-25, open NY-26, open NY-29, Randy Kuhl WA-08, Dave Reichert Not surprisingly, Democrats are on the offensive. dailykos.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Obama, Without Preconditions or Preparation The McCain campaign is pointing out that it was one year ago today, during a Democratic debate, that Barack Obama was asked the famous would-you-meet-Ahmadinejad-wit... question. This was it:
QUESTION: In the spirit of...bold leadership, would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?
OBAMA: I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration - is ridiculous.
This morning, in Israel, Obama was asked whether he would still give the same answer. His response:
I think that what I said in response was that I would at my time and choosing be willing to meet with any leader if I thought it would promote the national security interests nationalreview.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Michael Grunwald says that the political environment and history make it nearly impossible for McCain to win. Of course Obama is the safer bet to win. But he is exactly 2 points up in a weighted average of recent polls. There are plenty of reasons Obama should be walking away with this race. He isn't. nationalreview.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Before you try mind-reading, you might want to master, you know, regular old reading. nationalreview.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 We've Been Keeping the Tablets For You This big (469 pages), beautiful 1988 hardcover collection - edited by Bill Buckley and Charles Kesler - is as important now as when it was first published. Brimming with seminal essays on conservatism, freedom, tradition, government, spirituality, and much more, and featuring contributions by giants such as Frank Meyer, Harry Jaffa, Milton Friedman, Russell Kirk, Friedrich Hayek, Leo Strauss, James Burnham, George Will, and Gerhart Niemeyer, Keeping the Tablets should be in every conservative's library. As with other recent book sales here, we have several boxes that were once part of Bill Buckley's private collection, and are now making their contents available. The hardcover addition of Keeping the Tablets sells in used-book stores for up to $100 - our copies are in excellent shape and available for $30 (which includes shipping and handling). Order here.
By the way, you should find of interest what George Nash had to say about Keeping the Tablets in 1988 in National Review:

is all OK!, is the choice all that hard? A few Wednesday thoughts. nationalreview.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 A Somewhat Embarrassing Spectacle The latest Obama throng abroad is not about liberal bias, at least entirely, but more something like an embarrassing retrogression to teen-age Beatle-mania. After all, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, and Kerry -- or even Clinton -- never garnered such campaign attention. Even past liberal media darlings, who similarly posed as charismatic celebrity intellectuals -- JFK, Eugene McCarthy, and Gary Hart--didn't either. It is not even about race. A moderate-conservative Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice as candidate would be conducting a so-so quiet inspection tour. A liberal-leftist like Jackson, or Harold Ford, would have little resonance. The distinction again is that Obama appeals to the gullible and puerile as a sort of James Dean candidate. And thus he is not to be cross-examined, but instead free to shun interviews and clarifications, and prone to avoid reporters who might be less than adulatory -- the normal stuff that so irritates the supposedly sensitive press that has now gone brain-dea nationalreview.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
