Milwaukee Brewers Win Wildcard

Filed under Sports

Playoffs baby!
CC Sabathia and Ryan Braun put the Milwaukee Brewers in the playoffs for the first time since 1982 - with big help from the New York Mets.
Making his third consecutive start on three days’ rest, Sabathia pitched a four-hitter and Braun hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning to lead the Brewers over […]

Google Ads and the Presidential Campaigns

Filed under eCampaign

Both the Obama and McCain campaigns are using sophisticated Google ad campaigns to shape voters’ impressions of their opponents. Buying ads for opponents’ names is fine, but campaigns should also buy ads for issue keywords along with the opponent’s name. For example the McCain campaign could pay to have their ads appear when someone types […]

A Note on Missing Posts

Due to a pending bill on the financial crisis working its way through congress I had to pull a few posts of me commenting on the economic situation. It put myself in a vulnerable position since I work for Senate Republicans. Reporters would like nothing more than to stir up trouble. It’s the downside I […]

Obama Abuses E-Mail List Again

Milt Rosenberg, the most thoughtful radio host you’ll ever listen too, is again being targeted by Sen. Obama’s supporters. The situation is the same as a few weeks ago: a National Review writer, this time David Freddoso, talks about Obama and the Democratic Presidential nominee e-mails supporters to jam the phone lines.
Why are they wasting […]

Obama Pigging Out

Sorry guys, Sen. Barack Obama didn’t call Gov. Palin a “pig.” It’s called an “idiom” or “figure of speech.”
Go get outraged over something else.
UPDATE: It’s pointless to argue. The McCain campaign overreached (Obama’s imploding fine all by himself), Sean Hannity has reached a new level of inanity (even for him), and webloggers are giving themselves […]

What If It Were Jindal Instead of Palin?

Would Gov. Bobby Jindal be enduring the same inexperience attacks if he were Sen. John McCain’s VP pick? If so then much of the McCain campaign’s screams of “sexism” fall flat. I’m surprised the Left hasn’t used this argument to counterattack.
The Left would attack both candidates’ religion since Jindal is an orthodox Catholic, but […]

The Future of the Republican Party

Assume she continues to hold up well under the assault from soulless Leftists. Should Sen. McCain not win the election, and she wants it, Gov. Sarah Palin will be the Republican Presidential nominee for President in 2012.
Tonight’s speech debuted the female Reagan. Her genuineness connects with her audience at an instinctual level–similar to what […]

Code Pink Outside Xcel Center

Filed under RNC 2008

What I noticed about Code Pink protesters:

They can’t sing.
They can’t follow the made-up lyrics to their anti-Palin songs.
They have trouble marching in line.

Gov. Sarah Palin’s Important Speech

I’m a person who doesn’t think the Vice-Presidential candidate matters much…usually. Sen. John McCain picking Gov. Sarah Palin and the resulting scorched earth campaign launched by the liberal netroots along with the MSM pile-on means her speech tonight is very important. It’s the most important Vice-Presidential nominee’s speech in my lifetime. Gov. Palin has a […]

Alaska Delegate Talks About Sarah Palin

I spoke with Bill Knowles, Alaska delegate to the Republican National Convention and former mayor of Seward, about Sen. John McCain picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate. Knowles told me his wasn’t surprises with the initial reaction from Republicans. She has a “freshness” and “star power” but a “normal American appeal” that […]
