Barack Obama’s 2008 voting base can be broken down into three main groups: “The Grad School Left”, who understood perfectly who the man was and what the codes he was speaking meant; “Democrat Tribalists”, who have a pathological hatred of Republicans and would have voted for the remains of Michael Jackson if that is who the [...]

When it comes to covering big-time political events, Winnipeg-based Charles Adler is every bit the equal to his talk radio peers in the US who command daily audiences in the millions (unfortunately, he’s not nearly as good on a day-to-day basis, but we take what we can get).

Flaggman’s Radio Debut – The Dave Gordon Show, September 14, 2008

“Throw Grandma Under the Bus”: The Philadelphia Speech and Barack Obama’s Crass Politics
Here’s the comment that, in the end, will have proved to have done more damage to Barack Obama’s presidential aspirations than anything Rev. Jeremiah Wright ever said. From his famed Monday speech in Philadelphia:
I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who [...]

CCD to Maxime Bernier: Show us your “Conditions” to the Palestinians!
My favorite activist group, the Canadian Coalition for Democracies, has once again hit the nail right on the head with a great press release today , giving Conservative Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier a firm push from the right over Canada’s policy of sending cash to the Palestinian Authority.

Predictions for 2008
Feel free to throw these back in my face as the year unfolds…
The Huckaboom will be a quick bust; the McCain revival a mirage; the Giuliani lay-low-until-February strategy a disaster; and Mitt Romney will emerge as a popular consensus candidate for the Republicans.
