Live Blogging First Presidential Debate In Reno: Part 3
McCain: “General Patreaus, General Patreaus, General Patreaus! General Patreaus will save us, I mean me. I hate debates. Why can’t I control facial expressions? Why don’t people respond when I play my sympathy cards about being a prisoner of war anymore?”
Obama: “Whoops, you forgot about Osama Bin Lasden didn’t [...]

Obama: “McCain is Bush’s long lost twin with the wrong headed policies and fashion sense. ”
McCain: “Freeze spending on everything but entitlements because I’ve become a socialist like all my other rich Republican friends.” Oh yeah, and I’m totally ducking the war costs point.
Obama: “I have to make tough decisions. [...]
Live Blogging First Presidential Debate In Reno: Part 1
Epic fail so far. Its hard to hear–thanks to Street Vibrations–and hard to see. So we’ll see how well this works.
McCain? “This is the end of the beginning.” The beginning of what?
McCain: “Something happened.” Is this the something noted above? Oh, it’s “accountability” Would that be the kind [...]
The Western Majority Project Resurfaces
You remember the Western Majority Project don’t you? The Western Majority Project was the vague sponsor of the infamously canceled Fox News hosted Democratic presidential primary debate last year. In the past week, I believe I’ve received three equally vague email announcements from the WMP outlining Democratic gains in the western states it [...]
I’m Already Sick So I’m Not Watching The Florida Republican Debate
Seriously, I just took some nighttime cold medicine and am now going to watch the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. I know I can’t talk an hour and a half long discussion about how important it is to cut taxes to stimulate the economy. Here’s the debate for tonight in 30 seconds:
Reagan, tax cuts, [...]
Hot Damn, We Got Ourselves A Debate!
Thanks to the campaign hijinks surrounding the Nevada Caucus, the Democrats are having a heated debate in South Carolina! The candidates are finally talking about race too. The Swamp is liveblogging.
Clinton and Obama did a good job of tag-teaming Obama and forcing him to explain votes and policy positions, that is when Edwards [...]
MSNBC, Please Host All The Presidential Debates
MSNBC, please host all the presidential debates. As long as you keep the increasingly big, fat, and insufferably sexist heads of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann far, far away, I’ll watch every time–even the Republican debates. Okay, okay, I can’t promise that, but I would promise to try really, really hard if you [...]
New Hampshire Republican Debate
I really liked the format of last night’s debate in New Hampshire, although I don’t know if you can expect most Americans to spend three hours watching presidential candidates debate. What was made crystal clear by the debates was that the Republican candidates have absolutely nothing to offer most Americans except slogans about securing [...]
Even Jim Lehrer Says “Nevada” Wrong (Incorrectly)
Thanks to this week’s Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas, PBS’ NewsHour has been running a feature on some state called “Nevoda.” Personally, I don’t get all upset when journalists and politicians make this mistake. Can it really be considered a mistake to pronounce a Spanish word using pronunciation rules? Its the [...]
Its Was A Boy’s Night Alright
Taylor Marsh is right. Russert was a disgrace last night as a debate “moderator.” He made Chris Matthews look like Walter Cronkite, not to mention Clinton’s new best friend.

Edwards Won The Debate But Are We Doomed to Repeating History Again with Giuiliani?
Ezra Klein asks the question I have been asking myself for months now. Why isn’t the press treating Giulani like the crazed, power-obsessed, and corrupt man he clearly is?
You know, a few years ago, Sally Quinn wrote an article explaining why elite Washington had united against Bill Clinton. In it, David Broder famously said [...]
Reno and Beyond: About That Debate
This is going to be short one because I’m still trying to placate Bjorn the Houseboy after that Jay Kincaid post. Sometimes I wonder if all the foot massages and housecleaning are worth having him around when he acts like this. Slipping three Ambien into his lingon berry juice usually gives me [...]
Local News Anchor Joe Hart Gets It Wrong (Already!)
KRNV anchor Joe Hart already screwed up the local media coverage of the Fox News debate by saying that activists objected to the debate being broadcast by Fox because Fox News is a “conservative” news channel.
Wrong! The problem is not that Fox News is a conservative new channel, the problem is that the broadcast [...]
