Tomorrow the nation will elect the 44th President of the United States. Or so we hope. The nation didn’t get to choose the last time; the honors went to the Supreme Court in its 5-4 ruling. And, of course, we didn’t know on November 3. So let’s visualize a Kerry landslide today to seal the […]

Tonight marks the deadline for contributing directly to the Kerry campaign. Can you believe we’re a mere 4 days from election day? There’s still time to make a difference. So bust out your credit card and instead of buying a coffee or an extra drink at the bar tonight or seeing a movie this weekend, […]

I have not suggested there’s a connection between Iraq and 9/11, but there’s clearly an established Iraqi track record with terror.” Dick Cheney, September 13, 2003: “If we’re successful in Iraq … then we will have struck a major blow right at the […]

Despite what Cheney may think, last night on the debate floor was not the first he had met Edwards: “Vice President Dick Cheney said Tuesday night that the debate with Democratic Sen. John Edwards marked the first time they had met. In fact, the two had met at least three times previously. “Cheney made the […]

Last night was the first Presidential debate between Bush and Kerry (full text). Most of the pundits immediately following the debate — even conservatives like Joe Scarborough — had immediately declared Kerry the winner. That was pretty obvious. I thought Kerry kicked some ass.
