There's a New Sheriff in Town
Barack Obama has made Change the overriding and unwavering theme of his candidacy. I occasionally hear people say “I know he stands for change but what does that mean?” To me it is a ray of hope on my...more »

Why We'll Be Seeing Clinton on The Ticket
After reading some headlines this morning I’m thinking that the giddy speculation on Obama’s VP nominee over the last few weeks may have been in vain. Today Hillary Clinton made it clear she is willing to take her quest...more »

VP Guessing? Meet Brian Schweitzer, Your Gonna Like This Guy
Like many TPM readers I’ve been entertaining myself by tossing around VP ideas. The person Obama runs with should bring qualities to the table that serve to round out his candidacy. Things like executive and/or military experience come to mind. ...more »

Poking about online I stumbled across an article from March in The American Conservative. The title is “The Right Choice: The Conservative Case for Barack Obama”. It’s an interesting narrative about how the neocons are conning conservatives into believing...more »

McCain's New Slogan - Oops, Someone Already Owns It
Never underestimate the clever creativity of McCain's campaign gurus. They have come up with the antidote for Obama's Change message. It's called "The Change You Deserve". Has quite a nice ring to it really, perhaps you have heard it before. ...more »

I also see no major move to the center. Obama's positions have been the same on everything except FISA since he started his campaign. It's really only his FISA position that has dissappointed me. With regards to everything else I support him fully. I think this lowered enthusiasm reflects where we are in the GE as much as anything. We were at such a fevered pitch in the primaries, and with Hillary going negative we were all so angry. Now is mild by comparison. It will ramp up and we'll all get riled again.

I'm still waiting for the video of the comb-over flapping up and over in the wind, back to it's natural location. It would be especially nice if it happened in the gust of a military helicopter's propeller as he was departing the craft.

McCain courts the media in numerous ways and it is very effective. I think they need to be called on it repeatedly. We need to write to them where we find bias and not let up. When Clinton complained about bias media outlets changed their stance. We need to rattle the cages.
Liberal bias my ass.

In response to your points:
THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED RIGHT NOW SO THAT VOTING AGAINST FISA IS A BIGGER RISK THAN VOTING FOR IT.
This thinking implies that it's a bigger risk because not voting for it would prompt claims of non-patriotism and softness on terror. This is the same worry that got us into the Iraq war. At some point I hope it stops working.IT IS HOWEVER, VIOLENTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THERE ARE REMEDIES, BUT ELECTING MCCAIN ISN'T ONE OF THEM.
This implies that voting against the bill if it contains the immunity provision guarantees a win for McCain which is a fallacy.You are using the politics of fear here.

It's my understanding that we won't know the full details without lawsuits that will flush them out.
