Of the minority of economists asked by The Wall Street Journal 75% feels Sen. John McCain has the best fiscal policies. That’s despite opposition for his bad idea to nix the federal gas tax over the summer. Having a clear history of fighting wasteful spending has paid off.
I can’t recall a single Presidential campaign rolling […]
Fred Thompson spoke with Glenn Reynolds and Helen Smith about Sen. John McCain and federal judges. Fred also shot down even a hint of him serving as Attorney General in a McCain administration.
UPDATE: It must be judges week for the McCain campaign. Sen. Sam Brownback spoke with Jim Geraghty about judges and McCain will be […]
Human Events‘ John Gizzi adds another name to the mix of possible running mates for Sen. John McCain: Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan.
On the plus side Rep. Phil English said, “Paul is Catholic, from the Rustbelt, and has the economic credentials Sen. McCain needs.” His youth also contrasts nicely with McCain’s age.
On the downside his age […]
That darn Robert Novak. He had to bring up talk of Sen. McCain’s possible running mate:
Will McCain name a vice presidential candidate in mid-July to step up fund-raising before the national convention, or will he wait until Democrats make their choice in late August? A rumor running through the political community now puts former Massachusetts […]
Fred Thompson will be traveling to North Carolina to campaign with Sen. John McCain:
Former GOP presidential candidate and close McCain friend, Fred Thompson, is set to join the presumptive GOP nominee during his visit to North Carolina next week. Since losing the South Carolina primary on Jan. 18, Thompson has been absent from the limelight-even […]
MoveOn.org, the far Left, military-attacking, Iraq War defeatist, Afghanistan War opposing, Obama endorsing group will be running an ad joining its favored candidate in smearing Sen. John McCain. The “100 years” smear is contagious.
“It’s clear that the end is very much in sight.”
The RNC provided me with a full quote of what Sen. McCain said. […]
Spiraling health care costs are largely due to third-party payments. A consumer has less incentive to economize health care spending if they know an insurance company is paying the costs. Hunting for a deal on yearly physicals or open heart surgery becomes pointless if the patient isn’t covering the bill. Because of wage controls from […]
The RNC has had enough of Democrats completely distorting Sen. John McCain’s mention of U.S. troops possibly being in Iraq for 100 years. Sen. Obama has made the distortion part of his stump speech even after independent observers like the Columbia Journalism Review said he was “outright lying.” (”New politics,” same as the old.”)
What pushed […]
Michael Turk offers some ideas for how Sen. John McCain’s campaign could have taken advantage of Sen. Barack Obama’s waffle quip:
# If you’re John McCain, wherever you are, convene a breakfast of local bloggers the next morning. Call it “The Waffle Side chat” and ask them to come sit down with you and talk issues […]
I took part in another Sen. John McCain weblogger conference call. The North Carolina GOP’s Jeremiah Wright ad garnered most of the questions along with questions about Sen. Obama and William Ayers and foreign policy.
Michael Goldfarb asked why McCain wanted the NC GOP ad pulled. McCain said the inferences in the ad were “unwarranted.” He […]
Sen. John McCain doesn’t want the North Carolina GOP running this tv ad using Jeremiah Wright’s America-bashing:
McCain calls it an “offensive advertisement.” They’re Wright’s words on video. They’re facts.
How is this different than McCain bringing up the Obama-Ayers connection last Sunday on ABC’s This Week?
In the case of Ayers we’re still trying to figure out […]
All three videos are pretty painful to watch.
Sen. Barack Obama:
Notice he didn’t mention pulling out of Iraq. Do WWE fans skew pro-war?
Sen. Hilary Clinton:
I don’t get “Hill-rod.” She did mention Iraq.
Sen. John McCain:
This one’s the most painful to watch as McCain hams it up. He probably remembers watching The Crusher a few decades ago. And […]
While Sens. Clinton and Obama did some last-minute campaigning in Pennsylvania John McCain talked to voters in Ohio. Justin Higgins reports from the event.

Allahpundit linked to a story on Sen. McCain’s online fundraising woes. I left a comment and am getting some response so I want to expand the discussion to TAM.
McCain’s two problems have been 1) he hasn’t done much to reach out to conservatives. Don’t expect red meat attacks from the Senator to rile up the […]
Friday, Sen. John McCain pulled a document dump by releasing his tax returns. While donating book royalties to charity he took in $45,261 from Social Security and $114,854 from his Navy pension in 2006 and 2007.
As for charitable donations besides his book royalties he gave away 19% of his income in 2006 and 27.2% in […]
