Obama: 'McCain Won't Say it to My Face'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn an interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson, Barack Obama was asked about the increasingly nasty attacks on him by the McCain campaign. (Transcript) Obama: In what aspect, Charlie? Just kidding. The Democratic nominee went at the question head-on, and pointed out that the seemingly shameless McCain has, indeed, shown some: Obama: Why don't we just clear it up right now? I'll repeat again what I've said many times. This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the ...
McCain Team: Wright Out of Bounds
By Dave - Politics DailyThis seems to be a pretty standard political ad linking with Obama with the controversial reverend Wright. obama wright adby krs601 But McCain's team says it's over the line and doesn't meet their high standards. From the beginning of this election, I have been committed to running a respectful campaign based upon an honest debate about the great issues confronting America today. I expect all state parties to do so as well. The television advertisement you are planning to air degrades our civics and distracts us from the very real differences we have with the Democrats. In the strongest ...
A Media Amiss
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyMoments ago, Reuters dropped broad-coverage stories on Obama, Clinton and McCain with the span of one minute. The reason for the recap on the candidates is that the media has no idea what to make of the present Democratic primaries. As AOL News leads with the headline, "Barack Obama: Campaigning with a message of hope," the Washington Post fronts a story titled,"Obama's Gloves Are Off -- And May Need to Stay Off." While the latter recognizes the utility of negativity and forgivingly notes Obama's trend toward the dark side, the New York Times prints a scathing editorial entitled, "The Low ...
McCain Attacks Romney on Iraq
By Dave - Politics DailyMcCain's Statement: "Last April, Governor Romney said he supported 'timetables' for withdrawing our troops from Iraq and keeping them secret. When he suggested secret 'timetables,' General Petraeus' new strategy in Iraq was just starting. Opponents of General Petraeus' strategy all argued that we should not increase troop levels, but establish 'timetables' for withdrawing our forces from Iraq. It was clear at the time that some were hedging their bets on Iraq, positioning themselves politically by being deliberately vague on their support for General Petraeus' new strategy. ...
Just Say It Barack
By Dave - Politics DailyObama needs to stop talking like a senator. This is a perfect example: "You know the former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling," Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview taped Sunday and set to air Monday. "He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts - whether it's about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas. This has become a habit, and one of the things that we're gonna have to do is to ...
If Hillary Loses in NH, Heads Will Roll
By Dave - Politics DailyAccording to this article in the Politico, Team Hillary has decided against a full bore attack on Barack over the next couple of days. They have decided that there is simply not enough time to change the setup of the race. This sets up, again, according to the article, real fears that Clinton could lose New Hampshire. And furthermore, there is some data indicating that Obama is making inroads among the African American community which will be just in time for him to come up big in South Carolina. More momentum for Obama, and the fast schedule is keeping Hillary from deploying ...
Why is Hillary Going Negative?
By Dave - Politics DailyWe've been puzzled here at the machine about Hillary Clinton's sudden switch from being confident and above the fray to the down in the dirt mudslinging we've seen lately. Is she panicking? It seems hardly believable that the most tightly disciplined campaign with a tightly disciplined candidate would be prone to panic. No it has to be thoughtful and deliberate. ...
Hillary's Aggressive Strategy Backfiring
By Dave - Politics DailyFirst it was the Kindergarten fiasco, now Hillary is attacking Obama for voting "present" in a vote when he was asked to do so by the very liberal Illinois Planned Parenthood Council. Far from doing any damage, these types of attacks are reinforcing a point of view among the punditocracy that Hillary might very well be in real trouble. Else why would she do this? ...
