That’s the thrust of a phony grassroots campaign proposed by David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s chief strategist. Axelrod is the senior partner of a political consulting firm called ASK Public Strategies. And, as Newsweek reports, this outfit is into some pretty tawdry “strategies”:
ASK last year proposed a “political campaign style approach” to help Illinois hospitals block a state proposal that would have forced […]
Here’s Obama telling us that he’s campaigned in 57 states:
That a tired Obama made such an (admittedly weird) error is less important than the collective yawn of the establishment media. Try to imagine what would have happened if John McCain had said such a thing.
Instead of making the occasional passing reference to it, the various “news” media would have […]
The single greatest danger to our health care system is the election of a Democrat to the Presidency in November. The good news is that this is less and less likely. As Dick Morris suggests, if Hillary can’t win the nomination of her party she’ll make sure Obama loses the general election:
Is she continuing her […]
Barack Obama’s actual legislative record on health care is a cautionary tale. His current rhetoric about controlling costs notwithstanding, he has consistently favored policies that contribute to health care inflation.
For example, his career as an Illinois state senator was marked by unwavering support for government mandates dictating the coverage health insurers must provide. The WSJ explains why this is bad:
A long list of […]
McCain’s health care plan is by no means perfect, but it is vastly superior to that of the probable Democrat presidential nominee. Here’s an excerpt from my American Spectator article comparing McCain’s health care reform agenda to Obama’s:
McCain would emphasize consumer choice, markets and tax reform, while eschewing government-run health care. As he put it on April 28, at […]
Krugman is trashing Obama again. Maybe anxiety about upcoming layoffs at the NYT has made him bitter:
During the closing days of the Pennsylvania primary fight, the Obama campaign ran a TV ad repeating the dishonest charge that the Clinton plan would force people to buy health insurance they can’t afford.
Hillary does indeed want to foist a […]
Commenter David All advises me that Michael Moore, no doubt extremely bitter about his recent failure to capture an Oscar for the ridiculous SiCKO, is encouraging Pennsylvania Democrats to vote for Barack Obama:
If you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote — and yours — on Tuesday for Senator Barack […]
At the beginning of the year, I was worried that the electorate might be tricked into putting Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the White House. Now, I’m less concerned.
In addition to igniting a civil war among Democrats from which it will be difficult for the party to recover by November, both candidates have revealed themselves to be thoroughly obnoxious […]
It is increasingly likely that the battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton over the Democratic presidential nomination will result in a McCain victory in November. As Noam Scheiber puts in TNR:
Democrats contemplate the apocalypse these days, they have visions of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton slugging it out à la Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter at […]
I have always been skeptical of public opinion polls, and I still take them with a truckload of salt, but the results of this Gallup poll warrant some attention. It would appear that the public regards John McCain as the most honest of the candidates:
It’s no surprise, of course, that Clinton comes in WAY behind McCain and Obama […]
