John McCain is the Marathon Man — just watch how he attempts to run away from positions which he’s held for years, how fast he can change his convictions, how his media degenerates into false and malicious slander. Pick an important topic, any topic, and put the Marathon Man to the test. The war, […]

It seems beyond comprehension that when a hurricane is still stirring in the oceans, days away from landfall in the U.S. that gas prices in Minnesota could jump 40 cents virtually overnight. But it happened, and even after the hurricane is come and gone, with minimal damage to drilling sites in the Gulf of […]

I recently had an acquaintance tell me that he’s voting Republican because Obama doesn’t have “executive experience.” Well, neither does McCain for that reason, although Obama’s experience in heading the Harvard Law review is certainly something never mentioned but more executive experience than McCain has had on any level.
But the comparison in the statement […]
