Non-Palin Edition



A day of remembrance and a break from mudslinging and Palin.

The campaigns held a brief ceasefire on Thursday as JMac and The Jedi paid their respects on a somber day in politics.

When you're on the homestretch, the goodwill doesn't last long.

New line of attack: JMac doesn't send emails. While this isn't some shocking revelation, The LA Times lets it be known that JMac can't type due to poor fingers. Ouch.

The seven homes argument didn't really work (psst, Obama...many middle class voters yearn for wealth. Some find owning multiple homes as an admirable trait and a sign of hard work, even if it is more indicative of privilege and inheritance). The "third Bush term" jab was going okay until some woman from Alaska hopped aboard The Once Straight Talk Express.

Where does that leave the Obama campaign? They're mounting a counterattack that's critical of JMac's dirty politics and distortions, but it's too early to tell how ideals and policy resonate in the election of biography and diversion.



Johnny, do you got some room on the Straight Talk Express bus for a case of Cat Burglar DVDs?

JMac held up pretty well on Friday's View, as Whoopi, Barb, and co. came out swinging. The interview, however, wasn't without some half-truths and even fallacies.

Stay tuned for more as WVPC cranks into overdrive.

Iran, Iran So Far Away...

The NPR Democratic Debate, broadcast live from Iowa, was center stage today. Iran was the hot topic. Apparently, the Administration's assessment threat wasn't so accurate. Sound familiar?

Mike Gravel kinda took Richardson's place in this debate. Richardson was busy:


They let Gravel speak first, so they could get him out of the way early. Malcolm is polling higher than Gravel.

Winner: Hillary sounded strong, and she doesn't let the criticism stick to her. I'm not really sure if she won, but her comments on Iran were well aritculated. Dodd sounded good, too. Biden can really kick some ass in debates. Unfortunately, he comes off like the cranky old guy who's pissed that he's not ahead in the polls because, let's face it, he's the most qualified.

Loser: I'm in denial but it's probably Edwards. He just rehashed his usual sound bites. Actually, everyone outside of Iowa loses. Here's why...

As much as I love Iowa (it's like Illinois without Chicago, and Battle's BBQ in Ames is boss!), I'm little jealous of all the special attention they receive every four years. Couldn't we stage a national primary? Or at least have the states share the primary on a rotating basis (Wyoming!)? It's a huge amount of campaign money with an extremely narrow concentration. Yes, the caucus has broad implications, but how accurately does Iowa reflect the rest of the nation? Iowa has five black people in the whole state.

In between all that really important stuff they usually discuss, The View squeezed in Ron Paul.


The New York Times explores the vulnerability some Dems could experience if Hillary gains the nod. She doesn't play well in Kansas. The same state that brought you intelligent design.

Romney discusses his faith. And shows it's finally sweater weather.

(Psst. He's wearing magic underwear beneath that sweater.)

Beware: Huckabee looks to churches for support:

Prediction: Will win Kentucky.

McCain speaks to the MTV crowd: "Hey kids, don't you just love that Dave Clark Five!"

Edwards gets the profile treatment.

Finally, unity in the cat community.


We out.
