Blogs For McCain

Last week, in an obtusely worded story buried inside the paper, the Cleveland Plain Dealer noted briefly that the Ohio GOP let go of its “outreach…

If a pro-war tax loving Democratic Senator gets into a drinking contest with a pro-war freedom hating Republican Senator, who will win? We may never find out, because “What happens in Estonia stays in Estonia.” Here’s the scoop:
That would have been in the summer of 2004 in Estonia where, according to The New [...]

Republicans are girding for battle against Hillary Clinton and are looking for a true warrior to lead them in this fight. To win, we’ll need a take no prisoners approach, not vodka-drinking contests and “transcending the current polarization,” ideas that make me and my fellow conservatives want to puke.
Read this well, because it goes to [...]

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) likes to joke that the campaign-finance reform measure that bears his name is so well-known that a large part of the country thinks his first name is "McCain." As it turns out, that may not be a problem anymore — McCain has given up on campaign-finance reform because it may interfere with [...]

Why are people all giddy about Giuliani?  He is not going to make a successful run.  He will never make it through a primary.
No doubt he is an American hero because of 9/11, but with the Dems, that just links him to Bush, and for right-wingers, they can’t stomach someone who is pro-choice and for [...]

Let’s set the record straight, much to my dismay, John McCain is not has-been, and he is very much the front runner in New Hampshire.  No matter what happens in Iowa, McCain’s infrastructure and support is very very impressive.  People love that man up there.  His PAC is roaring.  It is run by a very [...]

If the New Hampshire primary were tomorrow, John McCain would win, hands down.  Thank God it’s not tomorrow.  He is still the front runner whether its in February, January, or, thanks to Nevada, on Christmas 2007.  But as your humble New Hampshire observer, please allow me to direct your attention to Governor Mike Huckabee.  It’s [...]

McCain Falsely Claims the Iraqi Prime Minister Has ‘Condemned Hezbollah’
…Duncan
Call McCain’s offices and ask them if his ignorance or deception about this issue means he’s unqualified to lead. Ask if he intends to apologize to those he smeared.

 Rachel Sklar: McCain Dodges Stewart on Bush: "How much safer can the world afford to have him make us?"
Video-WMp Video-QT
Yesterday on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart interviewed Senator John McCain and immediately had him squirming with his first question: "President Bush has been very clear that, through his leadership, he has made the world safer. [...]

John McCain’s presidential dreams that is:
It’s a warm evening, even for South Carolina, even for late June. It’s especially warm — sweat-dripping hot, actually — inside the Lace House, a lovely antebellum home on the grounds of the governor’s mansion in downtown Columbia. But heat or no heat, a crowd of South Carolina Republican politicos, [...]

Over the past year, or so, it is a source of constant amazement that poll results and pundits keep on showing strong support for Senator John McCain. This seems out of touch with our experiences and interactions with other conservatives and Republicans. This incongruity makes me think that their is some systematic, or [...]

We learn this about Hillary Clinton from the Washington Post:
she hasn’t appeared on a Sunday talk show in more than a year
Which makes her, I believe, in direct ideological opposition to John McCain.

By the way, what the Post points out seems odd, because I swear every time I turn on C-SPAN, there’s Hillary Clinton…

Digby:
McCain positioning himself for ‘08 is becoming quite an interesting pas de deux. It appears to me that he’s decided to kiss up the religious right and run against K Street, using his campaign finance reform cred. And he’s prepared to do battle with Grover Norquist to that end. I suppose the first question that [...]
