This just sucks. This is a huge mistake. Stone is an excellent analyst, and while he’s a homer, he’s an honest homer.

But OneMan has the definitive take on the Keyes campaign as a whole as well as the commercials
Oh, isn’t that cute, a story broke about Bush incompetence–it must be nothing. There’s a reason it’s breaking now–because the administration was hoping it wouldn’t break until after the election. Poo-pooing it is asinine. But no, that’s not enough And the Bushies find it curious that so few news shops are covering the Oil-for-Food scandal. […]
Chapman addresses why most of the press is wrong There are instances where it would be a terrible thing for journalists to be sent to jail for refusing to name their sources. But this isn’t one of them, and the press should stop pretending it is. In this case, the press isn’t protecting a whistleblower, […]
It’s a good story I remember mostly watching then DNC Head David Wilhelm and RNC Head Hailey Barbour on CNN with Larry King discussing the race and Wilhelm not being particularly happy about the entire evening. But when it came to rubbing it in, Barbour just said, look, the guy came to us with a […]
Jacob Weisberg who I often go to for good moments in writing, in 2000 voted for Gore with this to say: Jacob Weisberg, Chief Political Correspondent: Gore.

$1.3 million when he claims to be up 20 points? Hmmm…that doesn’t mean the race is as close as Renner’s poll, but that’s a lot of money for “Professor” Renner, a two-term member of the McLean County Board, has spent $218,000, with the largest chunk of his money going to an Evanston-based political strategist, according […]
From the Fax website yesterday: Just saw Barack Obama’s new TV ad that will debut tomorrow. It’s a testimonial ad showing brief “person on the street” interviews of what people think of Obama. Very well done. The Republicans contend that black voters and other Democrats won’t turn out heavily for Obama because they know he’s […]
The location may seem familiar to those who are interested in this Senate Race. Notice it’s up in the middle of the Crane-Bean battle. It’s a full court press by the State Dems. More in the subscription version.
Because the writing behind the Flippy the Dolphin bits certainly sounds like a supreme dork. I think the dolphin is gay. Why? Why not?
