Apologies for the shortage of posts, but today is my first day of classes and I’m still in the process of getting organized. I’ll start posting regularly again in the very near future. But I would like to take this time to applaud Keith Olbermann for completely self-destructing at MSNBC. Keith, I always had confidence [...]
The Convention has ended, and it was a success by any measure. And while John McCain’s speech may not have had the historic quality that Sarah Palin’s address did last night, I think he can rest assured that his mission was accomplished. John McCain is not an orator. He doesn’t possess the natural skills that [...]
Win or lose, I think it’s obvious that John McCain is going to be the last major presidential candidate of his generation. Republicans and Democrats alike are at a turning point, awaiting the next generation of leaders to step up and take the reigns of this nation. But as I pointed out in a post [...]
Last night was a late one. I got back to the room at about 4 after attending a party hosted by former RNC Chair Ken Mehlman. It was, needless to say, full of people far more important than myself. When it was done I went back to the hotel bar with Eric, Todd, and Cyrus [...]
We’ve heard since the beginning of this campaign how the Democrats have been making history. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I was privileged to be a part of a different kind of history.

All right, we’re still about 3+ hours away from showtime here, but the day so far has been a blast. I attended a brunch earlier sponsored by RedState which featured an appearance by California Congressman Kevin McCarthy, one of the three GOP Young Guns founders (along with Virginia’s Eric Cantor and Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan). McCarthy [...]
Good morning, all! Here are some thoughts that I’ve had since we last tangoed. I can’t emphasize enough how magnificently I thought Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman performed last night. I have great difficulty believing that an undecided voter could hear their testimonies to John McCain’s character and resolve and not think to themselves, “How [...]
After the challenges that delayed the start of the Convention yesterday, I was interested in seeing what the mood would be today. I wondered what the reaction of the crowd would be to the ridiculous stream of smears that the Left and the media have been slinging toward Sarah Palin. I was curious which Fred [...]
Says Fatimah Ali of the Philadelphia Daily News: “If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war.” But only conservatives play the Politics of Fear™.
Points to ponder over morning coffee… Why does Team Obama continue to refer to Sarah Palin as a “small town mayor” and ignore her term as governor? It’s the equivalent of calling Obama an Illinois state senator. Has anyone – ANYONE – outside of the media blowhards unleashed on Sarah Palin over her daughter’s pregnancy? [...]
