Republican concern trolls bemoan Biden
Sort by Daily Kos (Free subscription) - 08/24/2008
As expected, Republicans didn't waste a moment before launching the full concern troll attack on Obama's selection of a running mate. No matter who was chosen, they would have professed concern that they know much better than Democrats who the Democratic nominees should have been. In this case the goal is to sow discord among Democrats by riling supporters of Hillary Clinton. Here's Rudy Giuliani...

McCain: Don't Forget About Disunity, Democrats. Disunity! -- Updated With Clinton Response
Sort by Marc Ambinder (Free subscription) - 08/24/2008
So let's get this straight. Joe Biden insinuates that Obama is unqualified. That he has a lot more learning to do. That he needs more substance and style. And Obama picks him. John McCain's new ad, designed to reinforce the spurn that Hillary Clinton supporters feel, claims that Obama rejected Clinton because she said the very same things about him. Huh? Now -- not saying that it's a bad ad. It's...

The Rove team plays their next card: It is a silly, silly piece, as was the Bill Kristol post last night that Sullivan described as transparent, and James Joyner describes the above commercial and Kristol’s thinking as truly bizarre: By Kristol’s logic, Mike Huckabee should be McCain’s running mate. At the very least, he should be [...]

More on the Clinton Controversy (Sigh)
Sort by The Plank (Free subscription) - 08/24/2008
John McCain's new television ad suggests that Barack Obama didn't pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate because he couldn't handle her criticisms--i.e., "the turth hurt and he couldn't handle it." It's a dubious assertion, but the merits of the argument are, for all practical purposes, besides the point. This ad is designed to stoke the resentment of wavering Clinton voters and to make sure the...

Maybe John McCain Will Pick Hillary

McCain's latest ad... ...is a little pathetic . Hillary Clinton said horrible things about Obama! While she was running for president! And that's why she's not the VP pick! I hope somebody inside the McCain campaign will release the ad they would have run if Clinton had been the VP pick. But still, the courting of Clinton voters is in full effect now. I don't know if I was expecting it to be this...

With New Ad McCain Looks To Drive Wedge Into Democrat Party

In his new ad, McCain says Obama snubbed Hillary because she “told the truth.” “The truth hurts, and Obama doesn’t like it.” A pretty powerful ad, especially when one considers just how divided the Democrat party is these days. For all the hype surrounding his campaign, it’s worth noting that Obama just eked out the nomination (and might not have got it at all if the primary votes in Michigan and Florida...
