U.S. Sen. John McCain said Saturday that he enjoyed reading running mate Sarah Palin's new memoir and downplayed any tension between their campaign aides as "no big deal."
One of the especially tiring aspects of the 2008 presidential election was the "politics of outrage" fundraising letter. If someone, somewhere said something even remotely bad about a candidate, whether true or not, that candidate would inevitably rush out an email to supporters asking them to show that person who badmouthed them a lesson or two. And by lesson, we mean a campaign contribution....
HuffPo's Dawn Teo reports that John McCain's 2010 reelection bid may face a serious challenge from the right : PHOENIX, AZ -- Rasmussen announced a new poll on Friday showing Senator John McCain may be in trouble at home where a polarized electorate has him facing constant criticism from both the left and the right.

Sen. John McCain says he has no doubt that "political correctness" played a role in preventing concerns about the alleged Fort Hood gunman from reaching the right people.
JD Hayworth is a conservative former member of the House of Representatives and now a successful talk show host in Phoenix. He's considering a run against John McCain for the Senate in 2010, and according to early polls, is within a couple of points of Ol' Maverick. So, with a challenge from a much more conservative and much younger candidate, how could McCain hold onto his seat? With Sarah Palin's...

U.S. Sen. John McCain said Saturday that he enjoyed reading running mate Sarah Palin's new memoir and downplayed any tension between their campaign aides as "no big deal."
Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) to NRO : Regardless of Saturday’s outcome, it will be important for Republicans to “keep going out to the American people,” says McCain. “I intend to try and get out of Washington during the final weeks of debate to have town-hall meetings. We need to keep the American people stoked up and informed and do everything we can to galvanize support. The...
Senator McCain could be in a tough battle for the Republican nomination next year, however, if a tough battle does occur, I would expect Sarah Palin to come to his aid. Apparently most Conservative bloggers have the same feelings as I do, and some are writing if Palin supports McCain in the Arizona United States Senate GOP primary, it would be the same as supporting Scozzafava in New York's 23rd congressional...
WILL JOHN MCCAIN need Sarah Palin to save him in Arizona? J.D. Hayworth is polling well against him, and would likely enjoy Tea Party support in the primary . . .
Let's see how well the MSM can smother it. Or if it's ready to wake up and smell the coffee. After all, they do SO love a scandal, and if they're forced not to ignore it (John Edwards) they actually kinda get into it. Hadley CRU hacked with release of hundreds of docs and emails. <--- Go read and follow any links. UPDATE: Here's the London Telegraph article Patrick Michaels was talking about on...

In the new Rasmussen poll, she leads both of her likely Republican challengers (Carly...

U.S. News and World Report's Religion section says that "political analysts" view the Owens-Hoffman_Scozzafava debacle in New York's 23rd District as a failed result for Republicans because Republicans "overreached," by abandoning Dede Scozzafava, who has never been a true Republican, and supporting Doug Hoffman (for 3 days), who then lost to a Democrat - the first time in more...
