McCain campaign leaves secret e-mails on Blackberries sold off to public
Here’s a little video that should teach you why you need to erase all data permanently before you sell or get rid of any computer, Blackberry or computing device
Patrick Buchanan throws in the towel
Patrick Buchanan has given up on any chances of McCain winning this election judging by his last blog post. The title alone says it all. In a missive titled “Obama’s First 100 Days” Buchanan asks what an Obama Administration will look like. While you may disagree with the sometimes controversial Pat Buchanan, he is always
Quote of the day: John McCain
Talking about how he will fare against Barack Obama in the upcoming third and last U.S. Presidential Debate, John McCain said: “We’re going to spend a lot of time and after I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we’re going to be going out 24/7.-Huffington Post
McCain repackages bailout proposal and labels it his own
Apparently, John McCain did even worse than I thought in last night’s debate. He and Barack Obama both failed to present a step-by-step plan as to what they were going to do about America’s banking crisis. They both merely rehashed old plans they have been discussing for months. But, McCain failed more in that he presented something old as something new. And it wasn’t even his
Obama wins debate
Last night Barack Obama and John McCain had at it in their second Presidential debate in the U.S. John McCain has been slipping in the polls and needed a game-changer to break Obama’s momentum. He didn’t get it. Pundits and polls agree that Obama won the might, with CNN’s poll showing a big 54 to
Presidential debates crucial in test of economic leadership
Edward Harrison here. In the last post, Marshall commented on the need for the U.S. Presidential candidates to show their mettle in a time of financial volatility. As I write this, the Dow Jones Industrial average has just finished the day up over 400 points — a relief after some heavy selling pressure the past
The 3 AM call: financial crisis has that phone ringing
Marshall Auerback here. This crisis is an audition for the presidency in real time — and an opportunity for a candidate to step up to the plate. If handled the right way, it could decide the election. If it is treated like another political issue, it could fade with the next news cycle. So far,
John McCain has poor judgment, but Palin is working out quite well
The Economist, like many other Libertarian-minded publications and individuals, has soured on John McCain. One week ago their cover page story was “Bring back the real McCain” and this past week their storyline on McCain was that the man simply has poor judgment. What gives?What gives is that McCain, above all else is a politician
John McCain: candidate profile
In the US, the Republican National Convention has begun and as we prepare to watch the presumptive Republican nominee for President, it bears noting a little background into his character and past. One reputable source of background material has been the BBC. They have released part one of a two-part audio documentary series timed for
McCain chooses Palin as his running mate
John McCain made a surprise choice in choosing Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska, for his running mate. While this is a risky choice, it definitely balances the ticket. Below is a snippet of the story at the Wall Street Journal. This will be an interesting election. Sen. John McCain picked first-term Alaska Gov. Sarah
The 3 a.m. moment – McCain blows it
Ben Smith has a good column on McCain’s bellicose response to Russia’s invasion of Georgia. Even George W. Bush has shown more statesmanship here. ‘Invasion of Georgia’—a ‘3 a.m. moment’ When the North Caucasus slid into war Thursday night, it presented Senators John McCain and Barack Obama with a true “3 a.m. moment,” and their
McCain and his anti-Russia rhetoric
I am sufficiently concerned about John McCain and his foreign policy creds to write a blurb about his anti-Russia rhetoric and its likely effect now that Russia is on a rampage in Georgia. My colleague Lisa Lerer, traveling with McCain, sends over his tough comments on the escalation in Georgia: In a statement at the
