Sarah Palin isn't stupid. Her performance at the Republican convention was masterful. Evidently, after George W. Bush, Republicans think the American voter will buy anything. As for me, I simply find Palin's position on the veep ticket...

But when does a political ad go too far? Of course, this is the ad I'm talking about. The ad raising questions about John McCain's health.

If McCain was a happier warrior, maybe this wouldn't even be an issue. But he's not, so it is. Much of it stems...

From the start of the debate McCain wouldn't meet Obama's eye. At the end of it that hadn't changed, even as Obama gave McCain his due time and again, which the McCain camp has already turned into a...

Meet John McCain's mannequin. Her name is Sarah Palin. She is to be seen, but never heard.

The AP reporter shouted a question at Gov. Palin ("Governor, what have you learned...

Had the opportunity to be one of a couple of bloggers and reporters privy to a conference call that just happened with Senator Hillary Clinton, as she announced her new general election push, "Hillary Sent Me," which is specifically...

I heard it on Hannity first.

Then the very next day, just yesterday, I heard it on Rush.

Yeah, I listen and watch all sorts of things to see what the opposition is doing. But this latest stunt was one of their...

1. Sarah Palin is a gift to the Republican base, who has been energized by her presence, which could bring them out in droves. She's already inspired $10 million in fundraising, something McCain has never seen before, with last night's speech making her the first real Republican...

If Sarah Palin was a man being nominated for vice president she would be laughed out of politics and so would John McCain.

About the woman thing: "We should all be proud," Hillary Clinton said in a statement, of this "historic nomination."

"It was a genuinely outstanding speech. It was magnificent. It is the finest - and I saw Cuomo's speech, I saw Kennedy in '80, I even saw Douglas MacArthur, I saw Martin Luther King - this is the...

Did Joe Biden kick the door in last night or what? I just love this guy, rough edges and all. But he doesn't stand alone. What a family he has standing beside him.

When Mama Biden came into view I couldn't hold back the tears. But I was already...

Standing on center stage, Hillary Clinton was as relaxed, composed and so completely in her element, all notions of the media concocted dramafest disappeared. All rumors about how she wanted to sabotage Barack evaporated. She was so good the...

Live from Denver, as we say this week.

This part of the story began in June and is now non-stop.

The how many houses do you have? issue just won't go away. So in an effort to recover, McCain played the POW card yet...

"I am not a racist." - William Jefferson Clinton (Interview with Kate Snow, ABC News)

You know Democrats are in trouble when the only two-term Democratic president since F.D.R. is reduced to stating he's...

Ms. Dowd strikes again, but this time she takes aim at the rogue HRC supporters, adding a new element. These anti Obama zealots, according to Dowd, have also sworn off ever voting for a man. How predictable for Maureen Dowd...

George H.W. Bush called Ronald Reagan's fiscal ideas "voodoo economics." He ended up being his vice president.

Mitt Romney called McCain "dishonest," among a host of other things that included a nasty clash on Iraq...

I was the first to warn this was coming. Clinton supporters are ticked. I've been getting emails for months. Yesterday, NARAL made it worse.

There is something else that I've been thinking about for quite a while,...

Marshmallow soft.

Down pillow soft.

Baby's bottom soft.

So no one should be surprised that Obama had a a nightmare night. He finally got real questions for which he should have had ready answers. Over the last year...

Michigan and Florida count and so do the voters in both of these states.

Does anyone think Clinton can win the nomination without counting the voters of Michigan and Florida? Think again. Obama knows...

This little missive is directed at Senator Leahy and the other elite Democratic party officials, including Speaker Pelosi, whom I have supported unflinchingly throughout her tenure, as well as the elite progressives, who are suggesting Hillary Clinton...
