Everyone in the Republican party keeps picking running mates for John McCain as if he weren’t, you know, John McCain. Especially forgetful are those who insist that the ideal VP for McCain would be Mitt Romney, though today’s WSJ hedges by admitting he’s the best pick “on paper.” I think Romney’s the best pick as well — if you want to

Again, I somehow didn’t get the alert on this one so no preview, other than this, from The Page, quoting Wolfson: “We do not believe that Senator Obama has passed the commander in chief test. But there is a long way between now and Denver.” Yeah, maybe the Princeton Review has a class!

First of all, “Emperor’s Club“(where Spitzer was “involved”) sounds so… colonial. And, uhm, self-flattering.

Second of all, I love it when people clothe (as it were) unseemly activities in the jargon of the marketplace because they think it’ll make it sound less obscene. This sounds pretty white-slave-y to me (emphasis mine):

That said, I’m not sure that quotes like these, from people with no

The thing about a viral video is you have to want to watch it. Unlike a television ad, which arrives without consent, the web spot requires a mouse click, or an email from a friend telling you this thing is not a total waste of time.

With this in mind, judge the success of the latest offering from the McCain campaign, a two-minute …

For those who decided to sleep through the time change, here is what Hillary Clinton Campaign surrogate Ed Rendell said this morning on Meet the Press:

There’s one big problem with the Clinton campaign encouraging all this talk of a dream ticket: It undercuts their argument that Obama is not prepared to be Commander-in-Chief.
