Earlier this evening Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain took turns answering questions from mega church Pastor Rick Warren. The setting was Saddleback Mega Church, which is located in sunny Orange County, CA and also is one of the larger, more mainstream evangelical super centers of prayer. Both candidates are friends with Pastor Warren, the founder of the church and moderator of tonights forum, and came up with the idea of a dual candidate Q and A months ago.
Colbert Discusses McCain’s “Tire Gauge” Attacks on Obama
August 6, 2008
Yesterday we covered the humorous attacks being levied from the McCain camp regarding Obama’s statements dealing with how keeping your cars tires properly inflated as well as keeping up with regularly scheduled tune ups and how they increase fuel efficiency. Well, here is a nice little clip of Comedy Centrals Stephen Colbert discussing McCain’s pouncing on an issue that in all reality doesn’t really exist:
“It’s Almost Like They Take Pride in Being Ignorant”: Obama Strikes Back
August 5, 2008
This is the Barack Obama that Democrats, and more importantly - this country needs. Of course I am referring to Obama’s firing back of sorts during a campaign stop in Berea, Ohio. Barack Obama seemingly had heard enough, over the last week we have been inundated with a steady stream of garbage courtesey of the new and not so improved McCain/Rove machine.
Dubya Manages to Once Again Prove Just How Big of an Idiot He Truly Is
July 10, 2008
There is very little that our current President George W. Bush could possibly do to “shock” American’s, let alone the rest of the world - but somehow the brainchild in the White House has managed to once again out do himself, this time using the G8 Summit to deliver his jaw dropping statement that reaffirms the notion that he is in fact a moron.
T. Boone Pickens Moves Towards Energy Independence
July 9, 2008
Here is an interesting video for you to take a look at. It’s a national television advertisement featuring the infamous oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens, a vocal Bush supporter (financially more then anything else), as well as the man behind a million dollar offer for anyone that could prove the “swift boat veterans against Kerry” wrong. However the new ad has Pickens making a pitch to expand alternative energy options, as well as highlighting the importance of wind, and solar power in terms of softening our oil dependence.

How Bad has Dubya Been? So Bad That GOP Apointed Officials are Now Joing Team Obama
July 6, 2008
What would you say if I were to tell you that earlier this week a senior ranking Bush Administration official had resigned from his position, opting not for retirement, but rather to work for Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign? You may think I was crazy, and you would be right in your initial reaction - but I’ve got news for you - a Bush administration official did in fact resign from his position so he could become an aid to Senator Obama.
Obama, the ‘Youth Vote’ Supporting Him & the Impact they’ll Have in Nov.
June 28, 2008
Throughout the Democratic primary there was one demographic who really didn’t waver in their support of Sen. Barack Obama regardless of what their region, race, or religion was - I am of course talking about the always coveted, but equally equally as absent ‘youth vote.’ Politicians have been trying forever to really mobilize the youth, throughout the years candidates have attempted everything imaginable too mobilize the youth vote on their behalf, however none have really been successful in doing so. Well, that is until now.
New Bloomberg/LA Times Poll: Second Survey This Week Showing Obama +15 Points
June 24, 2008
June 25 (Bloomberg) - Democrat Barack Obama has opened a 15-point lead in the presidential race, and most of the political trends - voter enthusiasm, views of President George W. Bush, the Republicans, the economy and the direction of the country - point to even greater trouble for rival John McCain.
The Internet Is So ‘Elitist’: Tracking Political Websites & Their Party Affiliation
June 24, 2008
Earlier this morning I stumbled across a fascinating article that discussed the political “blog-o-sphere” (I hate that word, mainly b/c many of the sites aren’t even ‘blogs’) and where they fell in terms of the ideological scale ranging from “very liberal”, all the way to the far right, “very conservative.” The results were somewhat surprising, mainly because they manages to debunk an argument often heard from those on the right that claims; “internet politics is dominated by liberals“. That argument, is simply not true (surprise, surprise a conservative argument proven completely wrong), the result is a tight, “pretty” map that shows a decided red/blue (conservative/liberal) split in the US political blogosphere.
New Polls Give Democrats Reason to Smile: Catholics are Returning & Their Base is Energized
June 23, 2008
While these types of instances shouldn’t be taken all that seriously, it’s definitely worth taking a look at - and if your a Democrat, gives you a couple more reason to smile. According to a few, separate but equally important, studies have Republican’s from Washington, DC too Crawford, Texas cringing as if they just drank spoiled milk. I am referring to the studies that show Democrat’s holding a significant lead over the GOP in terms of voter enthusiasm, as well as another report illustrating that Catholic voters that identify as Republican is hit its lowest point since the 2000 Presidential Election.
