Tonight, Charlie Gibson devoted the first five minutes of ABC News to a thoroughly dishonest appraisal of the so-called divisions within the Democratic Party and their impact on Barack Obama. There’s no point in going through their hacktacular, innuendo-laden broadcast point-by-point, but there were at least two things that I did notice missing.
First, at no point did Gibson acknowledge that his own network’s polling shows that while 13% of Democrats say they will vote for John McCain....13% of Republicans say they will vote for Barack Obama. In other words, party unity on the Democratic side is just as solid as it is on the Republican side.
Second, Gibson made no mention of the fact that John McCain faces ongoing skepticism from conservatives who are disturbed by his confusing, inconsistent statements on taxes. Their criticism of John McCain has been withering. Watch for yourself:

Former Republican Governor William Milliken is having second thoughts about that McCain endorsement: "He is not the McCain I endorsed," said Milliken, reached at his Traverse City home Thursday. "He keeps saying, ’Who is Barack Obama?’ I would ask the question, ’Who is John McCain?’ because his campaign has become rather disappointing to me. "I’m disappointed in the tenor and the personal attacks on the part of the McCain campaign, when he ought to be talking abo... more
COLUMBUS, OH - Mayor Mike Coleman of Columbus, who introduced Barack Obama at his final event of a busy two day Ohio bus tour, accused the McCain campaign of voter intimidation in the Buckeye State.
“John McCain will do all he can to appeal to the forces of division and fear,” Coleman warned the crowd of 12,000. “Just yesterday I learned that in Greene County, Ohio, the sheriff there by the name of Sheriff Fischer is investigating every single early vote taken in Greene County.... more
What would you ask John McCain? What would you say to John McCain and John Kline when they’re together in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District this afternoon? Would you say it’s time for our country to change course? Would you tell them we want to bring our troops home from Iraq? Would you ask how we can expect them to clean up Wall Street when they are the ones who got us into this mess in the first place?read more... more
Presidential Material: John McCain and Barack Obama
Every once in a while a comic book comes out that attracts the attention of the national media. This week we were lucky to have TWO! Unfortunately, neither of them has anything to do with comic books.
I am of course talking about the pictured John McCain and Barack Obama comic book biographies from IDW.
What I notice right away is that John McCain kind of has a creepy grin thing going, like The Smiler from Transmetropolitan, while Obama looks ... more

The steel mills and coal mines of western Pennsylvania helped fuel the nation’s economic engine. Today, old factory shells and boarded-up storefronts stand as bleak reminders of those once-prosperous times.
But the voters in working-class enclaves such as this still are a sought-after prize in presidential politics, and many are belatedly backing Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
In the Democratic primaries, working-class whites consistently supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Later po... more
Real Democrats don't do this (or this). They just don't.
But, typical of a campaign with a reputation for exploiting every advantage and trying to neutralize every disadvantage, Mrs. Clinton’s communications team, led by Howard Wolfson, is not leaving Mr. Drudge to the Republicans. Five current and former Democratic officials said Mrs. Clinton has on her side the closest thing her party has ever had to Mr. Rhoades in Tracy Sefl, a former Democratic National Committee official,... more
The title of this post is one of the most important maxims in all of politics.
Case in point:
I just watched Steny Hoyer on CNN. John King asked him about Joe Lieberman's comments that Democrats weren't going to be able to convince America that they were prepared to defend America's security.
Hoyer hemmed and hawed about how FDR won WWII and some other things, and then said of course Democrats will demonstrate they are strong on national security.
Bleh. Defensive, whining crap. W... more
