Clayton Williams’ Fundraiser for McCain Canceled
Tracy Russo who blogs at Rural Votes alerted me to this story from ABC’s Political Radar:
ABC’s Rick Klein reports: Sen. John McCain on Friday abruptly canceled a Monday fundraiser that had been scheduled at the home of a Texas oilman, after ABC News contacted the campaign inquiring about a verbal blunder the Texan made during [...]
The McCain Campaign: Straight Talk It’s Not
FEC Warns McCain about campaign financing.
Lobbyist Paxson confirms that McCain met with FCC on his behalf.
Anti-lobbyist McCain surrounded by lobbyists.
In McCain’s case, some conservatives decide adultery doesn’t matter.
The Hubris of John McCain
The New York Times tackles the hubris of candidate John McCain. Maybe he didn’t learn all that much from his history with the Keating Five?
But the concerns about Mr. McCain’s relationship with Ms. Iseman underscored an enduring paradox of his post-Keating career. Even as he has vowed to hold himself to the highest [...]
The McCain Bush Relationship. Hold Me.
John McCain can try and distance himself from President Bush all he likes, but you can’t run from this image or the uncomfortable positions McCain has recently taken, particularly on torture.
John McCain: A Profile in Moral Cowardice
Wow. McCain votes against banning the CIA from using torture. Thank god Andrew Sullivan calls MCain on his moral failure, although I think he is still giving McCain too much credit:
Maybe McCain is waiting to take on the forces of Rove and the electoral advantages of appealing to crude, fascistic templates of “torture-them-or-we-all-die” [...]
Edwards Could Endorse Hillary Clinton: SEIU to Endorse Obama
I’ve been saying for a while now that I wouldn’t be surprised if Edwards chose to endorse Clinton because of her health care plan, or really, because of his dislike of Obama’s health care plan, but now that ABC News is reporting it, its actually news:
But notwithstanding his often caustic criticism of Clinton, on a [...]
Where’s John Edwards?
The Edwards campaign just released a new “Media Perception vs. Reality” website which attempts to make an issue of the media’s coverage of his campaign, or lack thereof, (hair flip to Momocrats) It includes a graph illustrating the difference in the number of stories about each candidate, a selection of apropos quotes, and [...]
Fernley Needs Sunlight Too Senator Ensign
I got a press release from Harry Reid’s office featuring remarks from Senator John Ensign regarding FEMA’s desperately needed assistance to Fernley:
“Fernley has endured a terrible disaster; many have lost their homes,” said Ensign. “I appreciate the swift action by the federal government to help get people back on their feet. The money [...]
Bring in The Light Senator Ensign and Support Senate Bill 223
The Sunlight Foundation, and in particular, Paul Blumenthal, have their sights set on Nevada Senator John Ensign for refusing to budge on Senate Bill 223 which would require Senators to file their campaign finance contribution reports electronically, allowing that information to be more readily available before elections than it is now. Why does Senator [...]
Karma Is A Bitch, Or At Least You Hope So
Good thing Richard Mellon Scaife hasn’t spent all of his money funding the Heritage Foundation and attacks on the Clintons. If he gets to kidnap the dog, he’s go to expect to pay up in the divorce.
Maybe there is justice, you just hope some people don’t have to wait too long.
