One of the most interesting things about living in Alaska is that you get a true appreciation of how large and how small it is - large geographically, and small socially. The fact that there are so few people means that it’s almost impossible to spend a day doing errands without running in to someone [...]

To:Interested Parties From:Rick Davis, Campaign Manager Date: October 31, 2008 RE: The Final Push The State of the CampaignIf your television is tuned to cable news as frequently as ours are here at campaign headquarters, you have seen the pundits say John McCain and his campaign are done. And, if you've followed this race since the beginning, this is clearly a song you've heard before. I wanted to take some time today to give you ...

Here's a scary Halloween thought: President Palin Aiiieee!!! Run and vote! Run and vote! SITE NOTE: (Nicole) This Saturday, at 12:00 noon Pacific/3:00 pm Eastern, we will host a live chat with filmmaker Stefan Forbes about his documentary, Boogie Man, chronicling the life of Lee Atwater. And if you don't think Atwater-esque ghosts are not haunting this campaign, you don't know Lee Atwater.

Joe calls it right again! (Excerpt–PHILIP ELLIOTT at AP) “Joe the Plumber,” the small business aspirant and overnight media sensation, endorsed John McCain’s presidential campaign Tuesday and said Barack Obama would make America a socialist nation. The Ohio plumber, whose real name is Samuel Wurzelbacher, also agreed with a McCain supporter who asked him if he believed “a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel.” “I’ll go ahead and agree with ...

North Carolinian Terry Mancour looks on the bright side of having his car keyed: The anecdotal reports from our fellow Obamanauts have documented a string of petty vandalism across New Carolina, with cars bearing Obama stickers getting viciously hacked like this every day. It was an erratic and not particularly successful attempt at voter intimidation. At least I didn’t feel intimidated. And I tried to keep things in perspective. A century ago there would have ...

These days events and issues and the nation seem to be sweeping toward some irresistible something that’s bigger than all of us. It feels like river currents rushing toward a waterfall. Have you felt that, too? History shows us that no status quo lasts forever, no matter how solid and immutable it seems. Sometimes changes are slow and imperceptible, but occasionally some confluence of events breaks the old order apart and sets up a new ...

This is for all the uncommitted voters the cable networks round up to be in their focus groups and who say they wish the candidates would be more specific — If you want details, don’t wait for details to be spoon fed to you through mass media. The candidates’ websites have the details. All you have to do is click and read. Obama’s “issues” page McCain’s “issues” page And, to say one nice thing about ...

Yes, yes, we get it already: the Republican Prez/Veep ticket looks just like Colonel Tigh and President Roslin from Battlestar Galactica. In what is either a sign that BSG has achieved cultural critical mass or that at least one of the two Republican nominees to office is actually an alcoholic robot, the similarities between the two pairs seemed to be one of the most common commentaries about McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for Vice President ...
