Obama Takes Lead in FL?

While single polls can be considered a joke, a new Rasmussen poll shows Obama taking the lead in Florida, 49-47.  This is only significant as, last month, McCain led in the state by 7.
Might this foreign trip be playing well for Obama in the state of Florida?  We shall see.  The StarkedDC average of […]

McCain Belittles Own Press Corps

It’s a bad idea to attack your own press pool.  And that’s exactly what McCain has done. 
As the McCain campaign continued to whine about press coverage yesterday, today, they put on ‘joke’ on his traveling press team.  The only problem?  Just like McCain’s other ‘jokes,’ the crowd wasn’t laughing.
The McCain campaign paid for luggage […]

Vanity Fair Spoofs John McCain

Someone had to do it, and it was Vanity Fair.  After The New Yorker caused a stink when they issued the controversial Obama cover, Vanity Fair is up with their spoof of John McCain.
The cover shows McCain using a walker, his wife holding a pile of pills (there are smears that she’s a drug addict), […]

Anti-Obama Film To Hit Theaters

A new documentary called, HYPE: The Obama Effect, will be hitting a handful of theaters this fall.  It will also be available on DVD.  So get your popcorn ready for this sure to be unprofessional and surely ill-prepared faux conspiracy fest.
Can’t they even make a more appealing trailer?  Personally, I’m waiting for THE GOLDEN GIRLS […]

POLL WATCH: New Numbers from GA, NH, OH

Each man gets their share today of promising poll numbers today, though Obama still has the edge. 
In GA, Rasmussen shows McCain with a large lead, 53-42. GA is a state that Barack Obama thinks he may be able to pick off, but one that I continually have failed to buy here at StarkedDC.  Still, […]

Why Is McCain So Bitter? And The False Sense The Media Is Helping Obama

The McCain campaign has put up a new ad on its website.  And, what’s the argument?  That Obama will take the country in the wrong direction?  That Obama will raise your taxes?
No.
It complains that the media loves Barack Obama.  Really?  What is this, a whining kid on the playground?  “It’s just not fair!” screams […]

McCain to Announce Romney As His VP This Week?

Much has been made about Obama getting all the attention this week on his trip abroad.  So, how might McCain steal some of that thunder?
Announce his VP earlier than expected. 
According to Robert Novak, the Conservative columnist, buzz is abound in Republican circles that McCain will do exactly that this week. 
And the reported most […]

S.C. State Senator Posts Obama/Osama Photo

A South Carolina State Senator has posted an Obama/Osama photo on his website.  According to the picture on Sen. Kevin Bryant’s page, it says the only thing that’s different between them is “B.S.” (Because Obama has a ‘B’ while Osama has an ‘S.’)
Feel free to go to his site to spread your hate/love mail on […]

McCain To Visit Iraq/Pakistani Border? Too Bad It Doesn’t Exist

Oh John McCain.  He just can’t catch a break, can he?  Day after day, he’s filled with verbal errors that could only make George W. look proud.  Well, today, on GMA, McCain announced: “Well I think it’s very serious…I don’t know the exact vocabulary, but it’s a serious situation, but there’s a lot of things […]

McCain’s Second Negative Ad In Three Days

Is the McCain campaign getting desperate…already?  Normally, negative ads are issued later in the year as the summer is spent on positive ads about yourself.
But, the McCain camp must be a little worried.  After releasing a foreign policy attack spot on Friday, they’re back with “Pump,” a gas price ad that blames the price […]

Did McCain Just Lose On Iraq?

Another day down on Barack Obama’s world tour, and only more bad news for John McCain. 
After reports spread this weekend that Iraqi’s Prime Minister may have endorsed Barack Obama’s withdrawal plan, the Bush administration was quick to say that’s not what the Prime Minister meant.
But, today, Barack Obama met with Prime Minister Maliki himself […]

Monday Update: POLL WATCH - Obama Stabilizes

Last week, Barack Obama’s lead in the StarkedDC average fell to just two points nationally, 47-45.  Has there been any movement since the start of his trip?  A little bit.
This week, Obama has regained a four point lead, 50-46.  This is close to the margin he’s been at for the past two months.  Thus, […]

So Far, Obama’s Trip Disaster For McCain

The McCain campaign knew they would have their work cut out for them when the Obama team announced his massive overseas trip.  For the next week, the headlines will belong to Barack Obama. 
It’s as though the Obama campaign is THE DARK KNIGHT and the McCain camp is SPACE CHIMPS.  The only hope for […]

McCain Blatantly Breeches Obama’s Security On Trip To Iraq

John McCain continues to top himself.  What now?  At a fundraiser today, John McCain announced Barack Obama’s arrival in Iraq.  This is a major problem as top officials’ trips to Iraq are ALWAYS unannounced for obvious security reasons.  And, if anyone would know this, it would be John McCain. 
So, what does that mean?  […]
