Tonight I posted on RedState a 16-year-old article from the New York Times published Nov. 5, 1992, which analyzes Bill Clinton’s victory over President George H.W. Bush. It’s scary that many of the same words could’ve been used today.
This reminds me of an old Newsweek cover I found in August while at my wife’s house. [...]

President-elect Barack Obama has a profound opportunity to change the way business is done in Washington. Tonight’s victory speech was an important first step at reconciling his differences with Republicans and establishing a new approach to governing. But is he sincere? It’s a question that will be answered [...]

During an interview at halftime of Monday Night Football, ESPN’s Chris Berman asked John McCain what he wanted voters to think about when they went to the polls on Election Day. I love McCain’s sense of humor.

Working on a new project for Heritage today, I had the opportunity to watch Wednesday’s debate from start to finish for a second time. Only this time it was much funnier. I guess that’s what happens when you let Fred Armisen and Darrell Hammond get in your head.

If anyone is going to salvage John McCain’s presidential campaign, it might just be Joe the Plumber. During an encounter with Barack Obama, the Ohioan explained his concerns about Obama’s plan to raise taxes. The exchange resulted in a lengthy discussion at the third and final debate about the contrasting economic policies of McCain and [...]

I was left feeling very unsatisfied with last night’s debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. My tweets probably reflect that as well, but it wasn’t until the debate was over and I digested everything that I became frustrated with both candidates and the stale solutions they offered.
For those of you who didn’t follow my [...]

As I watched last night’s presidential debate at the University of Mississippi, I also offered my play-by-play commentary on Twitter. And while I know my 885 followers were getting updates throughout the evening, I didn’t want readers of Bluey Blog to be jealous. So I’ve reprinted my “tweets” below. For non-Twitter [...]
