Accused Purse-Snatching Mayor Resigns
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 19) -- The mayor of San Gabriel, Calif., resigned on Tuesday after being arrested for an alleged instance of purse-snatching, among other crimes. "The unwanted media attention from this private occurrence has greatly affected my family," Albert Y.M. Huang said at a news conference at which he announced his resignation. "It's a tough decision we, as elected officials, have to make." Huang's troubles started around 1 a.m. Friday, when Huang got into an argument with a former girlfriend at New Taste Dumpling House in San Gabriel, the Los Angeles Times reported. After the woman, whose ...
More on the LAT Obama/Khalidi Tape
By Dave - Politics DailyThe LA Times Speaks: "The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it," said the newspaper's editor, Russ Stanton. "The Times keeps its promises to sources." Jamie Gold, the newspaper's readers' representative, said in a statement: "More than six months ago the Los Angeles Times published a detailed account of the events shown on the videotape. The Times is not suppressing anything. Just the opposite -- the L.A. Times brought the matter to light." The original article said that Obama's ...
McCain to LAT: Release Obama/Khalidi Video
By Dave - Politics DailyPolitico: "A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi," said McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb, citing Obama's friendship with Khalidi, who is now a professor at Columbia University.He said the video could, among other things, show how Obama responded to a poem recited at the party accusing Israel of "terrorism" and warning of consequences for U.S. support for Israel, which Goldfarb described as "hate speech."Does it seem incredible to anyone that the LA Times would sit on a piece of video that ...
McCain's Enthusiasm Gap
By David Knowles - Politics DailyPresidential campaigns are won and lost on emotion. The candidate who taps into a sense of camaraderie with voters invariably ends up living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, while the loser laments that the country never really got to know him (or her). Consider our most recent also-rans: John Kerry, Al Gore, Bob Dole, Michael Dukakis. Each of these men failed to forge an emotional connection with voters. Indeed, to varying degrees, each was perceived as stiff or phony in comparison to the person he was running against. In short, they lacked the ability to stir up unalloyed enthusiasm in the ...
For Whom the Bell Tolls
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIncreasingly, to some, Hillary Clinton seems like a woman living on an island. Two surveys released today illustrate what I mean. First, in her home state of New York, a new poll finds that 50% of Democrats say it's time for her to pack it in. Second, in another big state, California, The Field Poll now shows that Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate of choice by a margin of 51%-38%. Of course, these are just polls, so take them for what they're worth. The media continues its conspiratorial drum beat today, too. The LA Times piece, "Hillary face new pressure on 2 fonts," details how party ...
Huckabee's Trial by Fire
By David Knowles - Politics DailyMike Huckabee's swift ascent to the top of the crowded GOP field for president has been breathtaking. Over the course of the past three months, he has gone from lowly single-digits in the polls to a statistical dead heat for first with Rudy Giuliani. Having ably slipped his foot in the evangelical, Republican glass slipper (fashioned by Karl Rove), Huckabee now faces the tough part. A walk down the runway, cameras flashing wildly, with an audience looking for the slightest stumble. This week, Mitt Romney will unveil the holiday season's first negative campaign ad, ditching Ronald Reagan's ...
