Get Scared, y’all.

This is John McCain’s plan for healthcare. And no one is paying attention. This should be told to every undecided voter.

Why do I know so much about Bristol Palin’s baby, and why this could be great for John McCain.

Look Dems, it’s got to stop right now. I know the family dramas of Sarah Palin are pertinent to show how little thought he put into this choice (she wasn’t even interviewed until, like, last Wednesday?) and it is kind of ironic that a woman so ridiculously opposed to teaching sex education should end up [...]

Oh how I wish I could have every voter read this

This article.M
OH MY F*** (I’ve never been clear on the Donkey’s policy on cursing?) I was just checking jezebel (which EVERYONE should read) and I came across 10 Things only men can do. Sigh. You should read the Jezebel post that addresses how the list is just plain wrong in many cases, but it doesn’t [...]

Taking some breaths

In major change, Obama says he’ll support offshore drilling

It’s late and I’m tired and I was trolling for campaign info and this headline made me so scared and disappointed and upset that I almost lost faith in Barack Obama. I mean COME ON! It’s pandering, it’s a giant flip flop, it smacks in the [...]

Obama’s Op-Ed, and Townhalls

Just in case you aren’t avid readers of NYT, there’s this. Also, I wanted to note quickly, that I personally find it a little sad that Obama never embraced McCain’s town hall meetings. I know they play to McCain’s strengths, but there’s been a slump in the campaign as of late. Little things are blown [...]

Happy 4th of July; 4 troubling things.

1. Anthony Kennedy: Who is this guy, anyway? One reason I respect Antonin Scalia is that despite the fact that I viscerally disagree with his every vote, I know exactly why he votes as he does in each ruling. This is both because he writes his decisions quite masterfully, but also because he subscribes to [...]

A First look at the delegate math:

Now I’m not saying that Obama’s the nominee (though everyone else is), but this article is a truly fascinating look at the “new delegate math” that comes with an Obama/McCain matchup. It’s ungodly early to be considering this stuff, and a lifetime of things can happen, but I think it lays out where the battleground [...]

Before we all start hashing out the VP.

I’ve heard many declarations of it’s over, it’s done, it’s all over the media, the blogs, even our own Clinton supporters here at garnet donkey seem to think that this is over. I just don’t get it. Nothing that happened on Tuesday was unexpected, Obama won a state with a large African American population, and [...]

How Hillary will win NC and IN:

I know its a bit early for NC and IN predictions, but I wanted to toss this out there now: Hillary Clinton will win Indiana and North Carolina.
NC: Clinton +2 IN:+10.
But the real question is WHY? A month ago, I would have told you, “It would take some miracle (or a [...]

What dead politicans are we facing?

For a new type of politician, Barack Obama has been just about every politician imaginable. He was JFK, he was the left’s Reagan, he was Abraham Lincoln! (though only to the very delusional, aka, the blogosphere) Now that he’s “fallen to earth”, as David Brooks put it, he’s every Democratic loser: John Kerry, Mondale, Adlai [...]
