Joe Scarborough goes after bloggers (I mean, who else is watching your show, Joe?) on a regular basis, denigrating us as Cheetos-eating Star Wars fans living in our mothers’ basements. Joe’s court jester Willie Geist interviews bloggers in the DNC Big Tent, and finds very few bloggers who fit Joe’s slurs.

While we wait for Big Dog and the next Vice President of the United States, here are some new numbers from CNN and Time (.pdf) from some key swing states: Colorado (8/24-26, 670 RVs, MoE +/- 4.0% John McCain: 47 percent Barack Obama: 46 percent Nevada (8/24-26, 625 RVs, MoE +/- 4.0% John McCain: 44 percent Barack Obama: 49 percent New Mexico (8/24-26, 659 RVs, MoE +/- 4.0% John McCain: 40 percent Barack Obama: 53 percent Pennsylvania (8/24-26, 669 RVs, MoE +/- 4.0% John McCain: 43 percent Barack Obama: 48 percent Not too bad, not too bad. Looking across the polling from these states, it appears that Colorado is about as tight as can be; Pennsylvania is close, though Obama has a noticeable edge; New Mexico is probably tighter than CNN and Time have it, though Obama probably has an edge; and Nevada is close. Gotta run do some reporting, feedburner.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 Back in 2004, Democrats thought and Republicans feared that stem-cell research was an increasingly powerful issue that would work in favor of the former. The Democrats had Ron Reagan Jr. deliver a prime-time speech at their Boston convention. 'Millions are afflicted. . . . Now, we may be able to put an end to this suffering. We only need to try.' Nothing like that this time around. Always overrated as a political issue, stem-cell research is becoming less of one. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 Years ago, I found myself uttering a line: I can't stand to be lectured on compassion by the party of abortion-on-demand. I think it was back in 1984, when Mario Cuomo was riding high. He gave a much-ballyhooed speech at the Democratic convention, in which he chastised Republicans and conservatives for being ogres, basically -- for hating the poor, the sick, the halt, the lame, etc. He set himself up as a great moral instructor and exemplar. And so did his entire party, really.
And my reaction was, "Give me a break. For one thing, it's hard to take lessons on compassion from the party of abortion-on-demand. Get that one right -- or do better on it -- and maybe then you'll be fit to speak to the rest of us."
And I am reminded more broadly why I became a Republican, those moons ago. I was taught that the Republican party stood for greed, for dog-eat-dog, for ignorance, for callousness. And I was taught that human decency demanded that you be a socialist, basically. But then I g nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 John McCain needs to offer middle-class tax relief. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 I Think I'm Going to Avoid Joe Biden Ben Smith quotes Joe Biden this morning:
"If I hear one more time that [Obama] was 11 years old when I went to the senate, I'm going to smack someone,' he said. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 Why Political Speeches Sound the Way They Do John McWhorter is worth reading. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 ''This Is Who Barack Obama Is'' Rush Limbaugh is highlighting the Stanley Kurtz-Barack Obama-William Ayers showdown today. 'Radical leftists don't engage in debate....they destroy the opposition.'
Here's our editorial today on the outrageous matter (is this America or Putin's Russia? Maybe this explains Obama's soft approach to Russia's Georgia aggression?). It says, in part:
Kurtz has obviously hit a nerve. It is the same nerve hit by the American Issues Project, whose television ad calling for examination of the Obama/Ayers relationship has prompted the Obama campaign to demand that the Justice Department begin a criminal investigation. Obama fancies himself as "post-partisan." He is that only in the sense that he apparently brooks no criticism. This episode could be an alarming preview of what life will be like for the media should the party of the Fairness Doctrine gain unified control of the federal government next year. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 Someone's Been Staying Up too Late Watching the Dems An e-mail: My husband thinks McCain should pick Biden also. If Biden is the heavyweight for Obama then the Republicans would have two heavyweights. The VP debate would be great-Biden v. Biden. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 Karl Rove is right in this op-ed (and this one too). I'm a little mystified that McCain hasn't done more Congress-bashing. McCain has a chance to win this fall, after all, only because Democrats took Congress in 2006. Imagine what this race would look like with gas prices as high as they are and Republicans in charge of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Not that it's relevant to how McCain should run, but I'd actually go further than that: Iraq would look much worse if the Republicans had narrowly held control. Congressional Democrats, with no responsibility, would have fought harder to cut off funds for the war and to stop the surge. Congressional Republicans, having barely survived, would have been more nervous about supporting the surge.
From a conservative perspective, I think, the Democrats' taking Congress has done little damage to the country--what have they accomplished?--and done some real though inadvertent good. nationalreview.com Thursday, August 28, 2008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
