5 Myths About the 2008 Elections
Washington Post writer Chris Cillizza examines and attempts to debunk 5 myths about the 2008 elections… The entire article is worth reading but the two points that stand out in my opinion are these: 4.

The Blame Game
Over the last couple of days a lot has been said and written about why Republicans lost… Conservatives want to blame John McCain. Moderates and some McCain staffers are trying to pin the blame on Sarah Palin. Enough! All this finger pointing ignores one simple truth: Republicans had ZERO chance of winning this election. They […]
Election Postmortem
Let the finger pointing begin… Beltway Republicans will undoubtedly blame John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate as the reason for his loss. Palin may not have been the most qualified candidate available and her disastrous interview with Katie Couric certainly didn’t help her or John McCain. It’s easy to lay the […]

Krauthammer & Thompson
Charles Krauthammer like me isn’t the happiest of conservatives in this race but like me he understands what’s at stake. I’m no fan of John McCain but given the choice between him and Barack Obama it’s a no brainer… Barack Obama is not your fathers democrat he is a socialist. Krauthammer writes: Contrarian that I […]
Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans
I don’t put a lot faith in polls and this is why: Political polls conducted for most media organizations often are biased against Republicans, says Kellyanne Conway, one of the most respected GOP pollsters. As a result, Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain probably is exaggerated and is contributing unfairly to his momentum, says Conway, […]
Poll Question: Who Won The Final Presidential Debate?
[poll id=”9″] Overall I thought this was John McCain’s best debate. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was a game changer. In fact I think the plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, was the only real winner.

95% Illusion
The Wall Street Journal has a great analysis of Barack Obama’s “tax cut” proposals today. The Journal’s analysis should come as a surprise to anyone… In short Obama “tax cuts” are 95% illusion.
