John McWho?
Op-Ed Columnist: Pitbull Palin Mauls McCain
from NYT , Opinion
The 2008 election is now an Obama-Palin race about “the future,” and the only person who doesn’t seem to know it is Mr. Past, poor old John McCain.
SARAH PALIN’S post-Couric/Fey comeback at last week’s vice presidential debate was a turning point in the campaign. But if she “won,” as her indulgent partisans and press claque would have it, the loser was not Joe Biden. It was her running mate. With a month to go, the 2008 election is now an Obama-Palin race — about “the future,” as Palin kept saying Thursday night — and the only person who doesn’t seem to know it is Mr. Past, poor old John McCain.
To understand the meaning of Palin’s “victory,” it must be seen in the context of two ominous developments that directly preceded it. Just hours before the debate began, the McCain campaign pulled out of Michigan . That state is ground zero for the collapsed Main Street ec...

One day and night has passed for CRNC: Vegas. Top gossip so far:
1. “WestFest” was the big party of Friday night. The party was sponsored by Zach Howell, and was reportedly a tremendous success. One report estimated that more than 100 people attended throughout the night.
2. A CR mole reports that Ben Johnson has promised to appoint former Texas CR Chair Ryan Murphy as CRNC executive director in a Johnson administration. Either Johnson is buying off Texas, or in the words of Joh... more
Deborah Howell Takes On A Strawman, But Refuses to Make The Hard Calls
Conservatives—keep hitting the MSM where it hurts: in the bank
account
Last week, Post Ombundswoman Deborah Howell “took on” the issue of
media bias.
I was underwhelmed, as were most of you (I suspect).
IIRC, the job of the ombundsman is to hold people inside one’s
own organization to account. To point fingers and assign blame.
Howell doesn’t do this.
I submit that she wrote... more

So, putting aside the polls, I think it was politically beneficial
for McCain to control the agenda of the debate. I think that meant he
advanced his message more effectively than Obama. If McCain can manage
the agenda of the next two debates as well (a big if), the final effect
could be quite helpful to him. It will [...]

I'm about to head out to the airport. But I thought this might be worth throwing into the blog-o-matic. From a reader:Jonah,
K-Lo posted a link to a DE site on the Katie's restaurant thing. An eagle-eyed commentator there pointed out that CNN has changed the debate transcript to read: "Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington OR go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time..." (Emphasis ... more
Arbitrarily casting a vote for a presidential candidate from one of the two best known parties based on whether or not he’s expected to win would be like handing your ballot to the media or to McCain or Obama and letting them vote for you. We’ve just been majorly swindled by the government and Wall Street. Did your candidate act on this in a way that you find acceptable? This was no small issue. If McCain or Obama win this election, we will be represented in the White House in the s... more

Hurricane Ike’s winds remain at Category 2 strength, but Ike is a freak storm with extreme destructive storm surge potential. Ike’s pressure fell rapidly last night to 944 mb, but the hurricane did not respond to the pressure change by increasing its maximum winds in the eyewall. Instea... more
