All right, folks, I am reporting live from Minneapolis! Today’s mainly about organization, but tomorrow the event kicks off in earnest, and I’ll be updating the blog regularly from the Xcel Energy Center. Stay tuned!

WOW! Talk about a surprise! I went to bed last night convinced that the ticket was McCain-Pawlenty, and while I would have been satisfied with that, this is just so much more electrifying! I’ll write again after the speech, but I am enthusiastically behind this ticket! McCain-Palin in ’08! Update: Good words from Kathleen Parker [...]
Expect a bump. It was, as always, well delivered, but the substance of the speech was ludicrous. Obama fundamentally does not understand the way this country works. This is a man who thinks that unions are the manifestation of the American dream. This is a man who thinks that America’s greatest trait is that we [...]
I’ve got a hold of a full copy of the text. Here are a few excerpts. *** “This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work.” Aren’t we all one illness away from disaster, [...]
Obama’s greatest enemy tonight is his own ego. By making the speech on the forty-fifth anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, he is inviting the comparison. There’s no way he’ll let the evening pass without mentioning that he is the culmination of Dr. King’s speech. This might strike some viewers as [...]
BRILLIANT. One of the best political ads I’ve ever seen. The only problem is that it’s a little long for television. Maybe cut out the Chris Dodd bits, and then start airing it everywhere!
Barack Obama styles himself as the 21st century Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a war hero. Jack Kennedy was a congressman for six years and a senator for six years. Jack Kennedy was a tax-cutter. Jack Kennedy was a foreign policy hawk. And heck, I don’t even really like Kennedy!
As I said in my last Twitter post, I am predicting that Tim Pawlenty will be named as John McCain’s running mate this Friday. Although he doesn’t have Mitt Romney’s business acumen or name value, Pawlenty has a few of things going for him that will ensure him the number two spot on the Republican [...]
First: it was a very good speech. From an objective standpoint, it was well-written and well-delivered, and she had the crowd in the palm of her hand. Second: she said she supported Obama, but she never got to why beyond the fact that he was the Democratic nominee. She never talked about his character or [...]
