We’re off to see old friends on the political trail in Denver for the Democratic Convention and eager to see if the mile high drama gives Sen. Obama a boost in the polls, narrowing recently between him and Sen. John McCain.
Keep an eye on ET and The Insider, for our behind the scenes reports, and when we can blog, we will.
As for McCain’s ad mocking a Denver coronation, it comes on the heels of the Vietnam War hero forgetting how many homes he had, in response to a reporter’s question. Obama made hay with that (”I’ve got one, he’s got seven”), then the McCain camp was quick to fire back that BO shouldn’t be slinging bricks, mortar and mud. Read the rest of this entry »

We knew it would only be a matter of time before Paris riffed back at the “white-haired dude” for gigging Obama with the hyped sin of celebrity by association. He may well have to watch his back with John McCain’s Hollyweird message evoking McCarthy, and keep new text message buds like George Clooney at Blackberry length.
With Clooney reportedly advising Barrack on body language, next thing you know, Paris will be putting out feelers for Sen. John Edwards as her Vice on a Ken and Barbie ticket.

With the stock market diving, I figured sports star memorabilia might be the ticket, and phoned the QVC Shopping Network’s 800 number Wednesday night to try and nab the Hulk Hogan New Ultimate Grill.
If O.J. Simpson is so bullish as to use armed goons to bust into a Las Vegas hotel room to steal back his own Not Guilty suit, who’s to say a beleagured Hulk and his collectibles aren’t a smart play, too? Read the rest of this entry »

Even as he claimed historic victory stripes with enough delegates to be the first African American Democratic Party candidate for President, Sen. Barack Obama reached out Tuesday night to a crestfallen opponent and praised Hillary Clinton as a crusader for a better America.
But as we all saw, she didn’t leap to congratulate, or resciprocate. She wasn’t ready to throw in the towel. Yet. And that could present a big problem, and some say, a missed opportunity to unite the party at a critical moment. Read the rest of this entry »
Hillary Bean Counters Righteously Indignant…Declare Pop Vote Lead!
By Art Harris, (c) www.artharris.com
It’s all over but the crying.
Yet, to hear Hillary number crunchers spin it, Sen. Clinton walks away with the popular vote over Barack Obama in primaries that end Tuesday in Montana and South Dakota, AND against Sen. John McCain in her own face-off polls.
Just listen to the how-can-this-be-happening indignation from her bean counters in our clip…Hillary insisting she’s got blue collar white males and Hispanics in her hand, crucial demos that seem to be bolstered by victories in Puerto Rico and W. Virginia.
But she’s still losing—and fighting on. Why?
Well, well, well…there’s a personal reason no one has touched on, according to a longtime political reporter who has covered her, that may explain what many pundits cannot. Read the rest of this entry »
Will She Go The Distance, Or Is This The Final Round?

He was the comeback kid Tuesday, Barack Obama roaring back to win big in a state where he was favored after a full frontal assault, but also scoring big in the politics of expectations, as he fended off Hillary Clinton’s gas tax attack and knocked his firebrand pastor’s spit balls out of the park.
CNN was predicting Clinton would take Indiana, but just barely, its pundits noting senior citizens, over 65 years old, saved the day for Hillary by turning out en mass.
Hillary appeared composed if anguished; her husband hung back, looking puffy around the eyes as if he’d been fighting back tears, or anger that the wave had not broken as they expected. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s what happened when the U.S. soldier, Stephen Phillips, phoned home like a good son, oops, in the middle of a Taliban firefight half a world away.
Thank automatic redial for the glitch that sent Mom, Sandi Petee, into a panic back home in Otis, Oregon when she played back the message and heard the soundtrack to war in Afghanistan: a three minute stacatto of machine gun fire, laced with panicked MPs yelling for more ammo…then a shout: “Incoming, RPG!” And the phone cuts off.

A daughter’s suicide, a mother’s anguish, millions in taxpayer dollars down the rathole to investigate what many call a victimless crime…
Some believe Deborah Jeane Palfrey, aka “The D.C. Madam,” and maybe the college professor who also committed suicide after she was exposed for teaching by day and tricking by night, are the only real victims here. Digital era Hester Prynes stamped with the Scarlet e-mails. Read the rest of this entry »
Barack’s Take On Why Small Town Pa. May Be Anti-Obama

Maybe they’re just not into him? And some rejection doesn’t mean what he thinks, or does it?
Listen to the speech that some pundits rail could derail Barack Obama and provoke small town white backlash when the candidate needs it most to maintain his lead over Hillary. Read the rest of this entry »
