John McCain
« Previous EntriesWhy Obama Won
Monday, November 17th, 2008Two weeks ago, Americans made a very important decision. As we watch the post-mortem of the McCain campaign unfold, as reasoning for their collapse, we’re hearing things like “Sarah Palin’s ineptness”, “the economy”, “the Republican brand”, and the most overused, “Bush’s approval rating”.
I for one am tired of the “Obama only won because of Bush” [...]
Obama Wins!
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Just a few hours ago, Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States. This is a great day for America. (Updated) With the calling of North Carolina and the 2nd District, that makes the count 365 Obama and 162 for McCain, a 203 point sweeping mandate. Missouri has been called for [...]
Vote Today!
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008We’ve only got once shot at changing this country. No matter what the polls say, we need everybody out today. Even if your state isn’t competitive, get out and vote.
You’re going to hear a recurring word tonight: Mandate.
If we can get a commanding popular vote, not only will we see an electoral victory, we’ll see [...]
Letter to the Editor – Buy American
Friday, October 31st, 2008John McCain opposes “Buy American” initiatives in government and defense spending, calling provisions that encourage the government to purchase products from American companies “the worst, most disgraceful aspect of the legislative process in Washington”.

Letter to the Editor – Rural America
Saturday, October 25th, 2008As Election Day approaches, we’re seeing the rhetoric get more vitriolic. There’ve been times when I’ve admittedly embraced this ugliness. I’ve decided to follow Obama’s lead and make the remainder of this campaign about plans and policies.
I want to start with Obama’s plan to improve lives in rural America, including many of the families in [...]

Hope Makes a Comeback
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Barack Obama was in Indianapolis, IN today talking about the economy and we got a good glimpse at the steady, but inspirational leader so many of us have seen him to be. This was a great speech and really showed a calm in the storm during these turbulent financial times. Obama has now truly passed [...]
Biden: It’s about you
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Joe Biden was back on the campaign trail today. He’s been absent since the death of his mother in law last week. He didn’t waste any time going after McCain and Palin’s sleaziness, their lack of focus on the middle class, and their debate performances. Probably the best Biden stump speech I’ve seen.
I had a [...]
