The bid to get rid of the VP debate was completely obvious, but I cannot believe they did it in such a ham-handed way–even for the John McCain campaign.
This is worse than when Dole resigned from the Senate to show his resolve.

McCain wants to cancel Friday so they have to then make it next Thursday and we, unfortunately, will have to go without a VP Debate.
Sorry it took me so long to post on this, but I was laughing too hard: Blagojevich accused Obama of buying into a “very clever ruse by the McCain campaign” in making a phone call Wednesday to Illinois Senate President Emil Jones that sought an expedited vote on ethics legislation. Jones, who mentored Obama in […]
It appears there has been some misinformation concerning Personal PAC’s involvement in political campaigns and the 17th House district race — in particular between Dan Biss and Beth Coulson. I hope to answer any questions people may have about our mission and work. Personal PAC is a state bi-partisan pro-choice political action committee. Like all […]
Too many things going on at once. First, it is not Personal PAC behind any calls that are specifically saying Beth Coulson is the ONLY Pro-choice candidate and they aren’t asking questions in their calls according to Terry Cosgrove’s comments which weren’t appearing at first. Here they are: Nice try. To bad all of this […]
No, they are just using them to back fight for one pro-choice candidate over the other. Good use of your money: Nice try. To bad all of this is a sad fabrication to raise money and gain attention. Apparently, there are those who are unaware of a July 1 ’06 state law that says all […]
Why does John McCain think he can fire an SEC Commissioner? The SEC consists of five presidentially-appointed Commissioners, with staggered five-year terms (see SEC Organization Chart; text version also available). One of them is designated by the President as Chairman of the Commission — the agency’s chief executive. By law, no more than three of […]
Jones credits Obama: SPRINGFIELD—A day after getting a phone call from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, Senate President Emil Jones decided Thursday to summon senators back to the Capitol next week to tackle a high-profile ethics bill. “I plan to call the Senate back into session to deal with the issue of ethics only at […]
John McCain foreign policy advisor Randy Scheunemann: In this week’s interview, Senator McCain did not rule in or rule out a White House meeting with President Zapatero, a NATO ally. If elected, he will meet with a wide range of allies in a wide variety of venues but is not going to spell out scheduling […]
Eaton After sharing a lively discussion with four other area bloggers before a crowd of 200 plus at the request of WTTW host Phil Ponce, in concluding thoughts your IR Editor proposed the five of us panelists — CapitolFax’s Rich Miller, DailyKos’ Georgia Logothetis, RealClearPolitic’s Blake Dvorak, Chicago Tribune’s Eric Zorn and I — should […]
Seriously, this is weird regardless of any interpretation I can put on it: When asked about Spain and Zapatero, by a Spanish reporter for a Spanish newspaper, McCain responded about Mexico and Latin America. A reader suggested something that Josh had already considered, that perhaps McCain thought the reporter was talking about the Zapatistas in […]
Atrios nails the economic issue we are dealing with: The real issue is that you need a sensible regulatory framework to prevent financial crises from happening in the first place and criteria and practices for dealing with them when they do, along with a sensible and consistent broad social safety net for individuals and families […]
