The GOP has alienated the fastest growing set of Americans, possibly for a generation.

The McCain campaign repeats the success they had vetting Sarah Palin with Joe The Plumber. If there is a metaphor for McCain ‘08, thats it.

John McCain seeks to duplicate the chaos of his election effort with his “transition” team.
Let’s see to it that this mess remains a theory.
Denial

John McCain is now faced with a campaign consistently lagging behind Sen. Obama. While it is still possible for the polls to tighten as we get closer to election day, he hasn’t led in a single major poll since near the end of September. Even in the polls that have the most favorable turnout models [...]

why the heck McCain and Palin are campaigning in Iowa and Pennsylvania? Colorado, I understand. Florida, I understand. New Hampshire even makes sense. And certainly Ohio. But they’re spending their limited resources in states where poll after poll shows a double digit deficit.
Then again, almost 8 years ago George W. Bush was campaigning in California [...]

The RNC has released a new web video. It is 12 minutes long. It is 12 minutes of Fred Thompson doing his “fake president” act telling us how horrible an Obama win would be.
Its the kind of situation that makes you wonder if someone paid them to take the fall.

On both sides, in numerous forums, I’ve seen people – with mind numbing regularity – talk about how they’ve seen “X” signs in their neighborhoods and that’s so many more than they saw in 2004/2000 etc. It’s an anecdote, and an even worse measure for campaign strength than the already shaky measure of how many [...]
Election Theft Watch: West Virginia

Voting machine keeps switching Obama votes to McCain votes. Does anyone have a single instance of a voting machine erring in favor of a Democrat? In all the years of this issue popping up, I’ve never seen one.
“The Real Virginia” Becomes An Anchor
October 18th, 2008

The “real Virginia” crack is leading the local news here. Not good for McCain at all. It’s like the Clinton campaign’s refrain about which states did and didn’t count but far far worse. Virginia was already leaning Obama, this may lock it in.
WUSA Channel 9’s (the CBS affiliate) open to the 11PM news: “If you’re [...]

If Sen. Obama wins, the Republicans are sure to go in civil war mode. With the Democrats, the DLC wing of the party won the first few rounds and that resulted in losses in 2002 and contributed to Sen. Kerry’s loss in 2004. The grassroots (including the netroots) pushed back and that resulted in Dean [...]
Leaking Like A Sieve, Running On Empty

Campaigns that aren’t winning usually leak information to the press. Campaigns divide, with one faction seeking to have an upper hand on the other by leaking something damaging to the media. We most recently saw this with Sen. Clinton’s campaign and now it’s John McCain.
Some McCain campaign officials are becoming concerned about the hostility that [...]
