Here’s a neat idea destined to warm the cockles of the most hardened heart. A group of artisans is auctioning off a whole slew of really beautiful creations and all proceeds go to feed the poor. Call it what you will: early Christmas shopping, benevolence, a break from this infernal campaign, however you frame it,…

The Republicans beat the Democrats in viewership! The Republican convention was the most-watched convention on television ever, beating a standard set by the Democrats a week earlier. Three times in two weeks, political speeches were watched by more people than the “American Idol” finale, the Academy Awards and the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics…

A lot of them! Around 5,000. The editors thought that the MSM would be able to take down Palin before she even accepted the nomination. They were wrong: “When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart,” says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin was dead…

I think that’s the best line of the night during McCain’s speech. He said it while protesters were removed from the convention (why is it that Obama can give a speech without protesters but the Republicans can’t — he’s pro-war as well). He’s right, we are tired of the yelling. Maybe one day these people…

The magazine that brought you the “BABIES, LIES AND SCANDAL” cover has a poll up about Palin asking whether she’ll be a good vice president. It’s currently running 76 to 23 in favor of Palin.

Only 1 million less than Obama and she was on four less channels. Pretty good for our vice presidential candidate, 13 million more viewers than Biden 🙂 And Hillary only had 25 million viewers.Here’s the video of Palin’s story that they couldn’t show because Rudy took too long:

Um…except for McCain, Bush, most of the Congressional Republicans and of course Petraeus: The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a…

I think you can sum it up as: politics as usual, nothing to see here (in other words, dismissive). “She is deft at going on the attack. For someone who makes the point that she is not from Washington, she looks like she would fit in very well there,” Axelrod told reporters on the campaign…

Wouldn’t want him to contradict Obama’s position would we? Barack Obama didn’t take running mate Joe Biden to the woodshed for his remarks Monday on offshore drilling, which broke from Obama’s strong reservations to it. But Biden on Wednesday nonetheless offered a different opinion: “I’m against it.” Biden flatly told voters this afternoon that he…

No, not the ones from conservatives, the ones from the MSM! Mark Halperin gave it an A+ and Tom Shales (yeah, I was shocked too) thought she did pretty good job (though he threw in a couple whoppers): If the Republicans win the presidential election in November, it may well be said that they won…
