Mainstream media are pulling punches against Obama and the Democrats, Richard A. Viguerie writes at Newsmax.com. They have reported the outrage and vitriol of Republican politicians and rally-goers, but downplay the bad behavior of Democrats. And they are minimizing stories about Obama’s more suspicious associations: convicted felon [...]

A few notes about the debate last night:
1) McCain needed a win, and he didn’t get it. Most post-debate polls pointed to a clear Obama win, and on CNN — still using those absurd blue and red circular scorecards — even the Republican strategists handed it to Obama.
2) McCain still hates earmarks. Tagged at about [...]
Ryan Barrett takes you through her own person Spin Room on last week’s Vice-Presidential debate.
So this VP debate is coming up on Thursday. Quite frankly, I’m more excited for it than I was for last week’s presidential one. I think it’s because Palin has been in debate “bootcamp” since last week, and I picture her standing in camo at a podium barking her answers at Beavis and Butthead’s gym [...]
A Different View: Watching the Debate with Local Republicans
By brian frank, September 29, 2008 1:00 pmWhile millions of Americans tuned in to watch senators John McCain and Barack Obama face off in their first presidential debate, I headed to a neat little apartment in Marina Del Rey to see how the local Republicans reacted to the debate.
It probably wasn’t your typical Republican debate watch party. For one, the host, Carol [...]

The first debate is in the can and apparently, I got it all wrong.
The most compelling portion of the event came before it even began, when a haggard John McCain crawled back in front of the press, tail between legs, and said he would come out and play after all, his bluff called by the [...]
First, as you probably know, Paul Newman died. This made us verklempt. Secondly, we’re still talking about the bailout, and banks getting bought out. And everyone is still yammering on about the debate. And many people (OK, hardcore liberals) are genuflecting at the altar of Frank Rich for his analysis of McCain’s campaign. Real Clear [...]
The Great Debate: This weekend’s debate between Prez candidates Barack Obama and John McCain at Orange County’s Saddleback Church has been making the news—mostly because by all accounts, McCain kicked Obama’s ass. Of course, McCain, even as a “fake” Republican, had the advantage in a debate where the setting is a church, which tends to [...]
If you missed Tuesday’s Democratic debate in Ohio and then looked at a collection of headlines, you would think it had been an all out catfight between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. (Excuse the expression— I don’t want to be accused of sexism, maybe I should call it a decidedly manly term like a “battle” [...]
If Thursday night’s debate was a movie, it would be American Gangster: you’re super excited for it, everything points to carnage and death and fantastic-ness, you’re pretty sure you have a classic on your hands. You got two stars at the top of their game set to duke it out on screen. But what d’ya [...]
Republican candidates went tête-à-tête in the umpteenth debate of the campaign season in Iowa yesterday.
The whole thing played out more like a special RNC episode of SNL, where the candidates played parodies of themselves. (Who says there isn’t such thing as good TV during a writer’s strike?). Throughout, the presidential hopefuls managed to dodge, duck [...]
It was so crazy-interesting, the debate you missed last night. War! Underage drinking! A rose dominatrix suit!
Another good question for the Republican candidates… and one that should be asked of all the candidates: Would-be presidents all, how about addressing the discriminatory effects of Christian-influenced policy formulation?
Brownback’s answer comes in this ad: “We’re close to being able to overturn Roe vs. Wade. We’re one justice away.”
