The latest McCain ad pulls no punches. The answer to the question of why are gas prices so high–Obama. No hints there.
It is an interesting approach. Senator McCain had always talked about his comprehensive energy plan. This one is about drilling pure and simple. It gives an important message, but is it too simplistic or […]

I have been watching Senator McCain climb up this week in Rasmussen and Gallup tracking polls. I took my time pointing it out because it could have been a statistical fluke. Now it seems real especially when I look at the underlying numbers. Senator McCain is trusted on the economy and has pulled even on […]

Stop whining, said McCain economic advisor Senator Phil Gramm. (click for video) I wondered why Phil didn’t quite catch on when he ran.
Senator McCain said, “I don’t agree with Senator Gramm… America is in great difficulty…Phil Gramm doesn’t speak for me, I speak for me”. This should settle it if there is any honesty in […]

In yet another big flip-flop, Obama recently told the Military Times he has decided he actually would listen to the military commanders on the ground in Iraq, and not just pull out of Iraq immediately.
This is huge.
The central pillar of Obama’s platform has always been his pledge to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq. In fact, Obama has […]

I respect General Wesley Clark’s service to the country and his leadership. I am just sorry he doesn’t see fit to extend such sentiment himself.
John McCain is only the best qualified individual to run for the Presidency in a generation. General Clark is backing someone who has hardly any track record at all. Out of […]

Here is a great quote from Dick Morris:
Suddenly, everything is on the table. Offshore drilling, Alaska drilling, nuclear power, wind, solar, flex-fuel cars, plug-in cars are all increasingly attractive options and John McCain seems alive to the need to go there while Obama is strangely passive. During the Democratic primary, he opposed a gas tax […]

Update: http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx Please send an encouraging note this Memorial Day to our troops.
Americans believe that Senator McCain will win the War in Iraq, but only 20% believe Senator Obama will win it. That is a significant underlying disadvantage to Senator Obama and a major hidden strength for Senator McCain. It could help explain why Senator […]

From Leon at RedState:
It appears that Barack Obama, allegedly decent guy and agent of “change” in Washington, requested an earmark in 2006 for $1 million taxpayer dollars for the hospital where his wife works. Said hospital, by the way, gave Michelle Obama a huge raise (nearly $200,000, more than doubling her salary) in 2005 after […]
