Hillary gives McCain a freebie

Hillary's new ad is pretty much the perfect campaign ad... for John McCain. She does a pretty damn good job of striking fear into your heart, doesn't she? I don't know about you, but I was definitely a-scared of who was going to answer the phone. Did this ad really... [Full Story]

McCain and the Conservative Right

Posted by DJ Drummond · Published: February 6, 2008 · Comments (73)

It's looking more and more like John McCain will claim the GOP nomination. He has, however, alienated a lot of Conservatives and burned a lot of bridges along the way. McCain will need those votes to have any chance of winning in November, but it begs the question: Can John... [Full Story]

Not So Fast, McCain

John McCain is acting like a winner.
