Democrats have been cited as embracing technology to more extent than the GOP (though a close look at YouTube might dispel that concept), and in an email sent to supporters Sunday night, the Obama camp has extended a technological hand to let you know (if you really, really want to) who his VP choice is first, via SMS or email.
As the Beijing Olympics begin, it's only appropriate that we highlight the first annual Candidate Girl Olympics, Obama Girl vs. McCain Girl.
It isn't an easy card to play, but you will most likely be seeing the combined message in the weeks to come. Basically, by pushing for an intricate yet easily understood plan that could kill both birds with a single stone, Obama can position himself as the man with the plan that can save the dollars now and the world in the long run.
Global warming is unquestionably the most pressing environmental issue facing whoever ends up in the White House in January 2009. Not only does climate change impact -- and in most cases exacerbate -- other environmental problems, it has even wider implications for the economy and society at large. Luckily for all of us, both Barack Obama and John McCain are committed to tackling climate change, although their proposed approaches differ in significant ways.
Wow, and this was a segment from CNN, not from Faux News, where I would have expected it.
Barack Obama has announced that he will accept the Democratic nomination at INVESCO Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Glenn Beck and conservative commentator Ben Stein tried to cast a negative light on this.
Heck, I don't know if they are brainwashing troops overseas, who, according to reports from the field during Barack Obama's tour of the Middle East and Europe, constantly have Faux News on, but it's sure suspicious that they seem to be the only news channel over there.
Hillary Donors Gave Obama $1.8 Million in June | The Trail | washingtonpost.com
In his first overseas interview, Barack Obama told CBS News' Lara Logan that the situation in Afghanistan is "precarious and urgent." With violence rising from a resurgent Taliban, Obama stated that two or three more troop brigades need to be moved into the country.
Contending that the U.S. is not pursuing a sound strategy for keeping Americans safe, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Tuesday that fighting al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan would be his top priority after ending the war in Iraq.
"This is a war that we have to win," Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery at the International Trade Center in Washington.
Barack Obama told a potential donor to his campaign that Hillary Rodham Clinton is on his list of possible vice presidential running mates, but that her husband's status as a former president makes matters "complicated."
Bill O'Reilly was all over this. What a broad smile he had during his show tonight. Why?
A Fox News microphone picked up comments Jackson meant to deliver privately. These comments were pretty, well ... you decide.
Groan. Ralph Nader, who many cite as the reason Bush won Florida, and thus the election, in 2000, is running for President again. Obviously he has no chance of doing anything except possibly handing another election to the GOP, but besides that, he truly needs to think before speaking.
In an interview with the Rocky Mountain News, Nader was asked if he thought Obama was any better than any other recent Democratic candidate.
Another instance of foot-in-mouth disease for a politician, or at least for one of his advisors.
Obama's silence on taxes is a bit puzzling, because independent analyses of his plan compared with John McCain's well-advertised tax cuts show that the vast majority of Americans would be better off under Obama than McCain.
That bears repeating: Obama would cut taxes for ordinary people more than McCain would.
In Georgia, bar owner Mike Norman has been selling T-shirts at his Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Cobb County showing a picture of Curious Georgie peeling a banana, with the words "Obama '08" underneath.
Despite the fact that Bush has said he would not become entangled in the Presidential race, it seems, on Thursday, that he jumped in with both feet. While traveling in Israel, in a speech to the Knesset, Bush said the following, in an obvious attack on Barack Obama:
For all the hope and excitement Obama's candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed -- and unreported -- this election season.
Barack Obama said on Saturday he would be willing to campaign jointly with Republican John McCain and acknowledged he needed to better introduce himself to Americans.
Barack Obama's image has been tarnished by his past association with Rev. Wright, although he's since distanced himself from Wright (interestingly, despite the publicity over this many still believe Obama to be a Muslim). It turns out that John McCain has a similar problem, with the pastor he has called his "spiritual guide."
