  • About last night: A Message from Senator McCain

    Is it possible, conceivable, that Hillary Clinton keeps bringing up the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy because of the misogyny and sexism of the mainstream media?  The Obama Campaign?  His supporters?  Snipers?  Ralph Nader?  Katherine Harris?  Was it mean bloggers?  The...more »

  • But you're out organizing volunteer groups, hosting house parties and stumping on his behalf, right?

  • I'm issuing this challenge at every available opportunity:

    Instead of a general critique that Obama isn't doing this or offering that, tell us what you think Obamam should be saying. You like soundbites? Write your own soundbite. You think simplicity is the key? It shouldn't be too difficult to come up with something simple and compelling. So show us...

  • Same challenge to you as to Cville Dem:

    Tell us what you would've had Obama say. Not in generalities. Just roll the quotation marks out there and show us what you've got...

    The longer this campaign goes on, the more comfortable people seem to be with their armchair advising and push button punditry. I just can't see why the wisdom they're expressing isn't getting them the big ticket to Chicago...

  • I've seen him debate plenty. The one that's lingering in my mind right now is him repeatedly stammering through ham-handed efforts at kissing Ronald Reagan's ass in an airport hangar. He does great at "relaxed, sarcastic and comfortable with himself" when he's the venerated senior member of the old boys club, but when you only have to whip Rudi 911, Mittens Romney, Popcorn-Fried Squirrel, the internet phenomenon known as Ron Paul.

    To put this another way: It's easy to grin when your ship has come in and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile is the man who can smile with Obama's right foot in his seat...
