McCain Melt Down 2007-07-15 16:41:00 John McCain
was my choice for president for the upcoming republican primary set to kick off in 2008. Yes, if the election were held today, I would vote for him... if he was still going to be on the ballot. Ironically, I may have to throw my support behind Rudy Giuliani if McCain does indeed drop out of the running. The former NYC mayor, as you remember was the one I poked fun of on this blog of being a former drag queen. But the ethics of his former staff workers in no way tarnish my view of the distinguished senator from Arizona. McCain's numbers in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire appear to still be strong despite a recent drop. South Carolina to me being the most important of those big 3. South Carolina usually signals the candidate's staying power and momentum following the NH primary.SOURCE: http://politics.wizbangblog.comThe latest ARG polls of likely primary voters in the early states shows Hillary Clinton and John McCain leading their respective fields in all thr
SluggerBlog Endorses John McCain For President 2007-12-19 15:04:00 If the primaries were held today, I would have to take a republican ballot and cast it for Senator John McCain
of Arizona. Like many of my fellow New Hampshirites I value his outsider mentality and ability to work with the democratic party. On social issues I disagree with his stance on abortion, gay rights and immigration. But however on foreign policy I have come to find myself closely aligned with his viewpoints on the war in Iraq and the so-called "war on terror".His belief that our nation's top priority should be a strong defense is something that I honor in selecting a candidate. His beliefs in holding business accountable yet keeping a competative environment for small businesses to grow and thrive is also a strong point for me in comparison to the other candidates in the field. Out of the current field of candidates; both democratic and republican, he is the man I would most trust to protect my family, friends and myself from attack but yet still maintain positive diploma Read more:President

GLOBAL WARMING: When Are We Supposed To Warm Up Again? 2007-12-19 14:51:00 Since the mid-19th century, the mean global temperature has increased by 0.7 degrees Celsius. Antarctica is getting colder. Neither the intensity nor the frequency of hurricanes has increased. According to S. Fred Singer, a renowned Atmospheric Physicist;"There is no proof that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from human activity. Ice core records from the past 650,000 years show that temperature increases have preceded—not resulted from—increases in CO2 by hundreds of years, suggesting that the warming of the oceans is an important source of the rise in atmospheric CO2. As the dominant greenhouse gas, water vapour is far, far more important than CO2. Dire predictions of future warming are based almost entirely on computer climate models, yet these models do not accurately understand the role or water vapor—and, in any case, water vapor is not within our control. Plus, computer models cannot account for the observed cooling of much of the past cen Read more:Again
What Is This About John Edwards & Rielle Hunter? 2007-12-19 14:23:00 ACCORDING TO NOOKIE REPORT LAST MONTH:Last month’s National Enquirer story on John Edwards
and his alleged affair with campaign staffer Rielle Hunter
may or may not be total bullshit. One insider said “there’s a lot of smoke… no smoking gun,” while another said the tab has plans to publish e-mails containing damning details of the reported affair. Enquirer editor David Perel wouldn’t comment on the recent speculation, telling Rush & Malloy “I never like to talk about what’s not published, but we are still doing the story. The original story was 100% accurate.” Meanwhile, Edwards says “the story disappeared because it’s made up.” Um, yeah… The way I remember it, I first met Rielle Hunter in a nightclub called Nells in early 1987, although the circumstances of our first meeting seem to be in dispute. In my defense I can only say that events of that decade are not always as clearly etched in memory as we might wish, and neither of us was living a very so Read more:John Edwards

Republicans Attack Each Other On Foreign Policy... 2008-01-06 09:09:00 AT THE ABCNEWS DEBATES... FOREIGN POLICY, IS ISSUE OF DEEP PASSION AND HEAVY COMPARISON. "There were times when we gave the world the impression that we were going to ignore what they thought or what they felt," said Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee of President Bush and his foreign policy. Huckabee was forced into defending his earlier remarks about the president, one of which called the president "arrogant". Huckabee even went so far as to attack Gov. Mitt Romney and said the former Massachussetts governor supported a 'timid withdrawal of U.S. troops' from Iraq.As usual McCain came out looking like the winner, at least on the foreign policy side of things, touting his initial calls for more U.S. troop deployment into Iraq, and his critisism of Rumsfeld. McCain even mentioned th Read more:Republicans

TIME MAGAZINE: "Clinton Machine Shaken By Setback" 2008-01-06 09:00:00 The Time magazine article alledges, that Clinton
advisors may be dropping out of the camp like flies so to speak. At one point they go on to say;".....leaves them facing problems on two levels. The first, and easier one to grapple with, is how to deal with Obama. Even as the results in Iowa were still coming in, the Clinton campaign was mobilizing onto an attack footing. But it's possible that the most difficult problem is not Obama; it could be Clinton. How can she retool her message — and her identity as a virtual incumbent — to resonate with an electorate that seems to yearn more for change than any other quality?"SUNDAY NEW HAMPSHIRE RASMUSSEN POLL:OBAMA: 39%CLINTON: 27%look at the:WAR-WEARY FACE OF HILLARY CLINTON IN N.H.

trails Senator Clinton 32-26% according to the realclearpolitics data from the Zogby tracking poll among New Hampshire voters, conducted January 3rd 2008. Obama is riding his "surge" following his sweeping victory in the Iowa Caucus. New Hampshire voters will not be so easy to win over, and no candidate can claim an easy victory in New Hampshire. Obama hit the road using his retail politics techniques and showing an incredible upward climb in N.H. and is making the Clinton camp panic.Obama addressing folks using some of McCain's language, is attempting to use the same mantle that McCain used in 2000 when the Arizona senator upset then-governor George W.

: Wins big in Iowa, now has to keep the charge up into New Hampshire, where Obama has lagged, but has still a pretty strong campaign.John Edwards: Has revived a campaign, and has resurfaced as a viable choice for voters nationwide. His campaign is re-energized, but look for him to fall back behind Clinton and Obama as the contests go on.Hillary Clinton: Received a huge blow from the Iowa caucuses, where she expected to do better than she ended up doing. Mrs. Clinton goes on limping into New Hampshire where where the ball appears to be in Obama's court to dig the saber deeper. Remember, Hillary polls very well in New Hampshire, and it's still hers to lose. REPUBLICANSMike Huckabee
