This is the McCain I used to know

May 13, 2011 By irishfury

I've always credited John McCain's primary campaign for the 2000 presidential election as the entity that sucked me into the political realm.  Prior to that I had only been a middle school kid with a geek's interest in history and a largely … [Read more...]

Why Republicans are anti-science

December 16, 2009 By medfieldbluebob

The relevant information, for those busy with other things: Male voters for winner Barack Obama had stable levels of testosterone, but the hormone rapidly declined in males who cast ballots for losers John McCain and Robert Barr. Scientists … [Read more...]

GOP Sneaking Toward 2012

December 8, 2008 By massmarrier

Cross-post note: This also appears at Marry in Massachusetts. Already, our own smarmy elephant, Willard Mitt Romney, is raising money and doing well in polls (third behind Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee for 2012). He's hired staff and … [Read more...]

Karl Stands Up to Election Bully

December 4, 2008 By massmarrier

Cross-Posted at Marry in Massachusetts. In Rove's dizzying spin, only Obama's money edge decided the election. It was "the Obama/DNC juggernaut" that "buried Mr. McCain on TV." Rove picked his stats carefully, as in by the state … [Read more...]

How Boston Voted

November 11, 2008 By matt-in-boston

Rather than offering a ward-by-ward analysis, as I have done after other local and state races, I am instead offering some highlights and interesting voter anomalies. I would be happy to produce a ward-by-ward breakdown but fear that it … [Read more...]

McCain Goes Socialist

November 4, 2008 By Laurel

Too funny.  The guy who accuses Obama of being socialist told a FL crowd Monday that not only would he keep taxes down, "we're gonna take more of those revenues and share them with the state of Florida!".  Sounds downright … [Read more...]

Where we are, with less than 48 hours to go

November 2, 2008 By David

That final uptick on the blue trend line is definitely change I can believe in.  I confess that the little dip right before it had me a bit worried.  I mean, don't get me wrong -- I will not relax until the results are in. … [Read more...]

NY Times revisits the candidates’ views on marriage

October 31, 2008 By David

This NYT article doesn't really break any new ground; it doesn't even appear to have requested new quotes from the candidates on the topic.  It says (again) that both McCain and Obama oppose same-sex marriage.  It also says that … [Read more...]
