Christopher Buckley’s Obama Endorsement
Posted on October 10th, 2008 by Daniel McCarthy
On-line at Tina Brown’s new website, the Daily Beast, rather than National Review because, he says, “I don’t have the kidney at the moment for 12,000 emails saying how good it is he’s [i.e., WFB Jr.] no longer alive to see his Judas of a son endorse for the presidency a covert Muslim who pals [...]

Which “Rights” Do Sarah And John Wish To Defend?
Posted on October 10th, 2008 by Kelley Vlahos
Sarah Palin, running for vice president in a third Bush Administration, recently put some unpatriotic bastard at one of McCain’s increasingly unhinged rallies right in his place: “Bless your heart sir. My son is over in Iraq fighting for your right to protest right now.”
No doubt it is that kind of sentiment that moves many [...]
McCain’s Last Chance
Posted on October 10th, 2008 by Patrick J. Buchanan
Two weeks after the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn., John McCain and Sarah Palin were striding forward toward victory.
They had erased the eight-point lead Barack Obama had opened up in Denver and watched as one blue state after another moved into the toss-up category.
That is ancient history now.
Since mid-September, the stock market has cratered, [...]
Ostentatiously Exotic Elites

BoingBoing digs up footage of General David Petraeus pronouncing the name of Pakistan with long ay’s as in “father” (i.e., correctly) over and over again. I believe that means, according to the official conservative movement, that Sarah Palin is more qualified than Petraeus to be the head of CENTCOM. Take it away, Mark Steyn.
Grow Up Sarah
Posted on October 8th, 2008 by Kelley Vlahos
Among other attacks, Sarah Palin is out on the campaign trail this week accusing Obama of dishonoring the troops, in essence calling them babykillers. This stems from an old charge she (her debate coaches) have resurrected about the Democrat, claiming he said “all we’re doing in Afghanistan is air-raiding villages and killing civilians” some 14 [...]
Just Some Odd Notes
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by Michael Brendan Dougherty
Regarding the debate.
McCain walked right into the “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran” line when he implied Obama was foolish to tell the American people what his foreign policy might be. That was the only big blow of the night.
The conventional wisdom is correct that Obama’s calm demeanor favors him.
McCain is hurt by the fact that independents [...]

Ageism
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by Leon Hadar
After tonight’s presidential debate, it’s quite possible that I’ll also be watching Turner Classic Movies during the next and last (thanks!) debate, especially if they’ll have on Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times which was released in 1936, the year in which John McCain was born. My point is that the guy looks so out of it, especially [...]

Who Won Tonight?

If you didn’t watch “In the Heat of the Night” on Turner Classic Movies instead of the debate, you lost.

Punditry and Innumeracy
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by Daniel Koffler
Here is a bit of blinding brilliance from Mickey Kaus:
If Ohio is still in play, then I’m one of those who looks at the RCP electoral map and thinks, not “McCain’s path to 270 … is narrowing,” but “jeez, Obama could still easily lose,” even if the polls showing his non-trivial national lead are right. [...]
