For All You Dukakis Fans Out There . . .

The Duke holds forth on the current campaign in an interview with the New York Observer! It's actually a fairly interesting read--including his kind words for Dan Quayle (at least as compared to Sarah Palin) and his argument that his campaign's dirty ...

What's Eating Cindy McCain?

Yesterday she accused Barack Obama of "wag[ing] the dirtiest campaign in American history." Today she all but accuses him of putting her son's life in danger, telling a rally in Pennsylvania: “The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote to not to fund my son ...

McCain's Missed Opportunity

In case you haven't seen it, watch this video from a campaign rally McCain held yesterday in New Mexico. After McCain asks, "Who is the real Barack Obama?" someone in the crowd yells "Terrorist!" For a second there, McCain looks slightly taken aback, ...

Righting Wrongs (cont'd)

A brief follow-up for Chris's post on John Dowd's muddying of McCain's Keating Five contrition narrative. Seeing as how McCain presumably had to pay for Dowd's services when Dowd represented him during the Keating Five scandal nearly two decades ago, I ...

Is Now the Time To Be Talking About Keating?

So the Obama campaign is now playing the Keating card--launching a website, keatingeconomics.com, that features a 13-minute documentary on McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal. I'm not a fan of this move. I don't doubt that the Keating Five ...

Will McCain Go Where Dole Wouldn't?

Sarah Palin touches Bill Kristol's erogenous zone by telling him that McCain should "take the gloves off" in tomorrow night's debate. (A quibble: Wouldn't a real hockey mom recommend that McCain "drop the gloves"?)  The McCain campaign has obviously ...

A Necessary Reminder

Somewhere in my attic there is a fading copy of a campus newspaper from 1967—my first year as a law professor at the University of Mississippi. The headline, as I recall, says "Negro to Address Ole Miss Class." In the space of my own adulthood, a world ...

Obama Is "Lifeless, Aloof, and Windy"

So says Obama's spokesman Bill Burton who, in a bit of expectations lowering, has sent out an email linking to articles (like this AP one, from which I got the above quote) containing negative assessments of Obama's debate skills. Will the McCain ...

Is There an Upside to McCain's Failed Gambit?

The only one I can think of is that it has seriously lowered expectations for how he'll perform tonight. After McCain's less than stellar last couple of days, pundits will shower him with praise if he manages to stay on the stage for the full 90 ...
