On a related note I haven't seen the new Obama ad they're talking about in the news, but I think it may be a mistake to ridicule McCain as not being able to use a computer or send an e-mail. There are still plenty of people in this country who can't do either. But then again, they are not running t...

mark halperin will declare him the winner of the week over and over. It's interesting you mentioned it Mister Tee, because I read that Halperin gave quite a performance yesterday at AC 360. He railed against the media ant the McCain campaign(!!!) because, as he mentioned, this whole ''pig'' controv...

Another interesting article in the Huffington Post:

I guess Mister Tee is somewhere laughing while he reads articles like that.

Having so happily missed night 3, I found it easy to pass on Night 4 -- watching my tapes of the previous night's Daily Show and Colbert instead. I gather McCain gave an uninspiring speech (Shocker!). I think this sums it up: Jeff Toobin trashes McCain's speech By the way, I must say that the norma...

Mister Tee is right about the effect of the speech. I read that two different focus groups were conducted in Michigan and Nevada during Palin's speech and the reactions were strikingly similiar. Republicans were enthusiastics but Hillary-Democrats and undecideds-moderates were sharply negative agai...

That's interesting: Focus group reactions towards Palin And as Ben Smith at Politico says: I can't remember the last introduction to the national scene this rocky, and it gets worse every hour — and even before the investigative reporters have settled in to Anchorage. ... The name on the tongues of...

Nate Silver of 538 weighs in: I'm sorry, and the conservatives are welcome to chew me out on this in the comments, but I've concluded that this is a pick that looks better on paper than in practice. She's charming and likable, but she's about the furthest thing from what we conventionally understan...

How about all that fretting by the likes of Carville, Begala and some bloggers that the convention wasn't negative enough towards the Republicans and McCain? Has that changed the last two days or are the attacks insufficient in your opinion? (I can't believe I'm so absorbed with a foreign election!...

I must confess Mister Tee, here in Greece we constantly complain about the idiocy of our media. But after watching closely how yours are covering the election, I have a newfound respect for our brand of journalism. What I found really asinine in Novak's column is his analysis for states like Montan...

That's perhaps the most delusional analysis of the upcoming election: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27569 My favorite quote: While state-by-state polls show a large Obama advantage, most of them overstate Obama's chances and understate the vote McCain is likely to get. Why? Apparently b...

What impresses me is the fact that the media are not even trying to hide their desire to make the race competitive. I was watching the other day a clip of Hardball where Matthews was talking about the elections of 1976 and 1988, when Carter and Dukakis blew the big leads they had at summer. But whe...

OscarGuy Posted on June 25 2008,15:56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a feeling that Florida will go to McCain as will Georgia and I'll bet Virginia. Obama would have to pick up a lot of ground in these states to win them, Georgia especially. ...
