"Dude, you just have to show up and stand around for ninety minutes. And try not to look mean. Can you pull that off?"

Kwam net tegen dat McCain in 1983 in het Huis van Afgevaardigden werd benoemd tot lid van het Committee for Aging. 1983… moest er toch wel een beetje om lachen. Iets heel anders: maandag 6 oktober sluit de deadline voor kiezersregistratie in Virginia. Dan al, een maand voor de verkiezingen! Veel mensen beginnen pas twee…

Two hours ago, John McCain took credit for going back to Washington and getting a deal done with House Republicans. Now, two thirds of those same Republicans voted against it. There is no deal. The Dow Jones went as low as -734 points. The lowest ever was after 9/11, with a 684 point drop.

Just heard on Fox News: Ted Kennedy has been brought to a hospital. No details yet. Een paar dagen geleden was Ted Kennedy voor het eerst sinds de Democratische Conventie weer in het openbaar te zien. Hij ontving een onderscheiding van de Chileense overheid op de Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. Ik zag het filmpje…

John McCain skipped debates before. He even sent an aide once, to stand in for him. In 1984 only 20 people showed up for a congressional campaign debate between John McCain and Harry Braun. Reason? John McCain was campaigning for GOP candidates in Massachusetts and could not appear. Aide Grant Woods stood in for McCain.…

This just in: McCain wants to delay Friday’s debate, and asks Obama to return to DC to talk about the bailout. At 8:30 this morning, Senator Obama called Senator McCain to ask him if he would join in issuing a joint statement outlining their shared principles and conditions for the Treasury proposal and urging Congress…

Did you know this….: ‘If you're a newly registered voter–and of course the democrats have done these gigantic registration drives–12 million people on registration–if you're a new voter you MUST include your license or some other state I.D. when you come to vote. What that means is that if you're a college kid (and college…

Ik krijg veel mails van Nederlanders die naar Amerika willen komen om Obama in de laatste weken van de campagne te helpen. Het beste wat je kunt doen is helpen met de field operation (lees: canvassen) in de swingstates. Virginia is een handige swingstate, want de metro stopt er vanuit Washington DC. Op dit adres…

ABC News just put a banner on their website, with an exclusive about their interview with Sarah Palin later today. The banner reads: ‘Palin says war with Russia may be necessary.’ It’s the second time Palin has said anything outside of her talking points. The first time she spoke about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.…

Seems like Palin and McCain have indeed been lying about Palin’s ‘opposition to the bridge to nowhere’. Footage showed up in which she says she does not oppose the bridge to nowhere (nowhere being a 398 million dollar bridge to a village with only 50 people):
