The election of Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the appointments following have left some Senate seats open. And there are still Senate races left to be decided. Politics- it’s fluid.
A brief rundown on the seat shifting:
Hillary Clinton’s Seat
Former President Bill Clinton doesn’t want the spot . Governor David Paterson has taken himself out of [...]
Obama to the (Economic) Rescue? Obama-Biden press conference today to introduce soon to be Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and National Economic Council chief Larry Summers. Obama will also discuss in further details the economic rescue plan he mentioned on Saturday.
This $700 Billion Offer Sounds Better Than the Last One: That’s the number that’s being speculated [...]
Twelve politically themed stencils have been provided by the AP for those who’d like to get their wonk on for Halloween. Choose from the Republican elephant, Democratic donkey, a generic vote symbol, “McCain Palin”, the Obama symbol and faces that seem like they’d be a pain to carve out. The faces include Barack Obama, John [...]
Tomorrow night’s debate (the actual topic of which is the economy) will be John McCain’s last chance to bring up Bill Ayers to Barack Obama’s face. Obama (and Joe Biden) have essentially encouraged McCain to do just that- knowing that it will give Obama a chance to calmly dismiss the accusations while McCain looks like [...]
Barack Obama and Joe Biden have essentially dared John McCain to make the Ayers accusations to Obama’s face. The next opportunity for McCain to do so would be the presidential debate focusing on the economy. Obama could win a debate on the economy by showing up and taking a nap on stage. John McCain doesn’t [...]
You can see our liveblogging of the debate below, and we’ll have more substantive analysis later. But I just wanted to share something I heard on PBS. An analyst from Politico said (paraphrasing), “If you’re judging this based on the way you’d usually judge a debate-who had the best, most substantive answers, who actually answered [...]
You can count me among the many that are looking forward to the Biden-Palin debate with a sort of perverse glee. Sarah Palin is bound to perform above expectations since the bar is set so low for her right now that she’d only have to show up and state her name to be excelling. But [...]
So, earlier today after we learned that John McCain was suspending his campaign and wanted to cancel the debate scheduled for Friday, my friend and I were talking and trying to figure out the strategy behind this absolutely ridiculous proposal. I jokingly suggested that perhaps McCain was only testing the waters here because what [...]
My coworker and I were discussing how, as Democrats, we love the choice of someone who has been governor for roughly 18-months, thinks creationism should be taught in schools, was completely unvetted, talks to Alaskan secessionist parties, and used her power to get her brother-in-law fired as McCain’s running mate. The only way this could [...]
I’m at my father’s house for the holiday and my internet connection is spotty (and apparently some people consider it rude if you blatantly ignore them in favor of your laptop) so I’m tossing up this roundup. There isn’t a theme and it is not my intent to trivialize the important stories (i.e. the water [...]
