Palin and Pregnancy (UPDATED)

Best case scenario is that this statement from Todd and Sarah Palin:

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s

The Not-RNC: America’s Next Top Model

People in St. Paul seem to be taking McCain’s call for restraint pretty seriously, so I feel a little bad for observing this, but I sort of loved it when he explained, “we need to take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats” — because conventions, in the end, are all about hats.

And apparently I’m not the only person …

Obama Asks Americans to Help, Too

Anyone want to guess what kind of numbers could come out of this?

TOLEDO, Ohio — Sen. Barack Obama announced that his campaign would mobilize supporters from his enormous e-mail list to send money or enlist as volunteers once the impact of Hurricane Gustav becomes apparent.

Obama told reporters that his campaign already is

Where Are the Republicans?, Part 2

The two most powerful ones — Bush and Cheney — sure ain’t here.

My gut feeling: Gustav, as worried as we all are, is more cover than reason for the absence of the wrong-track twins.

There’s talk of somehow altering the convention should things turn really sour, either making it a telethon of sorts or have convention goers stuff …

They Don’t Hang Out Together

I don’t remember a lot of “respecting the office” talk during Clinton’s impeachment, but I don’t think that’s the point here.

“They’re friendly,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican and McCain ally who has watched the two men up close. “They don’t hang out together. I don’t think John’s ever been to

The Not-Romney

My go-to laugh line this week was, “If McCain chooses Romney, I don’t know what I’m going to do with this last little shred of respect I have for him.”

As he’s announced Palin, I’m looking very closely at this tattered scrap of cloth, which looks awesome with Sarah Palin’s cute school-teacher mien but also has some traces of red-faced …

Yes, More Basketball and Politics

Caught up with omnipresent Charles Barkley last night. The round mound of rebound has been doing the chat circuit talking up Obama, despite his former, extremely logical position of being a Republican “because I’m rich.” I put the “if the Obama campaign were a team, what team would it be” question to him, and he proffered the 2006-07

Quote of the Day: Job Killing Machine

Obama guy David Plouffe to the Atlantic: “If [McCain] does pick Romney, what a duo! It’s the greatest job killing machine in the history of American politics. Mitt Romney is an expert on Cayman Island tax shelters. You couldn’t have a more out of touch ticket.”

It Could Happen!

We understand Terry McAuliffe (aka, “The Macker”) caused quite a stir on the floor yesterday, first convening with Virginia governor Tim Kaine and then taking time to talk with the delighted delegates, posing for pictures, signing autographs, trying on their hats… and listening to their concerns. He’s obviously a natural politician, …

If You Were a Basketball Team What Basketball Team Would You Be?

Or, rather, what team would the McCain campaign be?

Hari Sevugan picks up where Reggie Love didn’t want to go (let’s hope Reggie doesn’t know anyone playing ball in LA):

“Maybe the Clippers. They’ve had a failed approach for years but all they offer their fans is more of the same. After decades in the league they still haven’t …

Reggie Love Interview: What He Learned About Politics From Duke Basketball, How He Guards Barack, and the Next Generation of Jocks

Reggie Love is Barack Obama’s right hand man: curator of his iPod, carrier of his hand sanitizer and disposer of unwanted brewskis. It’s a job he prepared for by playing for playing football and basketball at Duke — a team he was a walk-on for. I managed to catch him on the phone this morning, and now, thanks to the magic of …
