McCain Late for Endorsement: Bush Tap Dances
You really can’t make this stuff up. McCain is late for his own historic endorsement by a sitting president, president tap dances for the press, press gets hot dogs, although I’m sure they would’ve rather had barbecued ribs. How embarrassing is that for President Bush. Is McCain standing a step behind Bush […]
Dear America, John McCain is Mr. McSurly
America, please don’t make John McCain my president. Saying “my friends” 100 times per public appearance does not mitigate John McCain’s fundamental flaw–he’s about as charismatic as a dishrag. Even worse, McCain is pompous, grumpy, surly, condescending, and short. He is a veteran, you have to give him that.
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, […]
The Nevada Caucus: Chuck It?
(AP)
Besides mine of course. I still find the position of Democratic leaders like Dina Titus and Mike Zahara to be prematurely reactive (ha!) to the extreme and sort of, I don’t know, short-sighted? I don’t understand spending a year supporting an event in order to increase Nevada’s political influence, and then, just when […]
Why Recalling The Nevada Caucus Is A Bad Idea
Dina Titus is wrong. Sheila Leslie is right. After a few hours of celebrating what went well during the Nevada Caucus, critics went straight to work on pointing out everything that went wrong (and no one would be exaggerating, would they?) and mounting what constitutes a recall campaign led by Dina Titus. […]
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 […]
At My Caucus, The Clinton Supporters Had The Strongest Arms. Just Saying
Please, the Nevada Caucus should be a rough and raucous affair–fair, but also rough and raucous like any western democratic process. I think most of the commotion is a result of the fact that the caucus process is new to Nevada. Just give us a chance to work it out, how long have Iowa […]
Andrew Sullivan Endorses Ron Paul
So, Andrew Sullivan has gone and done it. Sullivan’s endorsed Ron Paul for the Republican nomination. I suppose its more a result of the quality of candidates for the Republican and Democratic nominations, but I find it kind of amazing that the same person can endorse Obama AND Paul knowing what they know. […]
Bless Their Little Ron Paul Hearts
Photo of UNR students writing the U.S. Constitution in front of Lawlor Events Center courtesy of Inside Nevada Politics and Ron Paul campaign volunteer Robert Tehrune Ron Paul is coming to Reno. In principle, I hate the idea of discouraging anyone’s excitement about a political candidate, and this kind of effort in support of any […]
Pat Robertson Is Going To Hell
If Pat Robertson wasn’t already going to hell for claiming the power to control the weather, hosting a prayer fest for vacancies in the Supreme Court, calling Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodists devilish, or supporting violent dictators/war criminals for his own financial gain, then he certainly will go to hell for turning his back on the […]
