Highlight of the Couric Interview

by: Jason Haber September 30, 2008

Katie Couric: Why isn’t it better, Gov. Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
Gov. Sarah Palin: […]

Sarah Palin’s Facebook Page

by: Jason Haber September 30, 2008

Ok, it is not Palin’s Facebook page, but this was too funny to pass up.  Like SNL, it makes some very good points.

Wall Street Versus Main Street Misses the Point

by: Jason Haber September 30, 2008

“I think it’s terrible, all those big shots getting away with millions,” Ann Collins, 72, told a reporter in Delaware.  Collins view is shared by many in this country who saw the proposed bailout of illiquid toxic assets as a ‘get out of jail free card’ for Wall Street.  But in reality, this issue is […]

The Dump Palin Movement Grows

by: Jason Haber September 29, 2008

 
The “Dump Palin” crowd reached a critical mass today.  Conservatives and progressives don’t agree on much but they do believe Palin is unqualified to be VP. 
Palin’s viability at a VP has come under heavy scrutiny after her nonsensical, sophomoric, amateur, embarrassment of an interview with Katie Couric has been replayed over and over on the […]

Saturday Night Live Takes on Palin, Again

by: Jason Haber September 28, 2008

The scary part is SNL used some of her actual quotes during the real Katie Couric interview. So while this is funny its also frightening.

You Know Palin is in Trouble When…

by: Jason Haber September 28, 2008

The conservatives in the GOP turn against her.  Yes, it is happening.
Fox News is reporting, yes the Fox News: “Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, a former Palin supporter, says the vice presidential nominee should step aside. Kathryn Jean Lopez, writing for the conservative National Review, says ‘that’s not a crazy suggestion’ and that ’something’s gotta change.’”

Obama Wins 1st Debate

by: Jason Haber September 27, 2008

 
Yes, it was a close call and I can see how ardent republicans will try and claim victory.  Obama looked at times like he was a student who just finished cramming for an exam.  Other times he looked as if he was searching for words.  But to independent observers it didn’t matter much.  He won […]

The Debate Debate

by: Jason Haber September 26, 2008

 
update: McCain is in!  Get your popcorn ready. 
John McCain has yet to commit to debating this evening.  Instead, he may remain in Washington to help iron out the Wall Street bailout deal.  However, during the White House meeting, McCain barely spoke.  Congressional aides say that McCain has played a bystander role (even McCain famously once told […]

She Speaks!

by: Jason Haber September 25, 2008

 
Sarah Palin held a Q&A session with reporters today.  But I thought the McCain campaign was suspended?  Guess that only applied to McCain.  Well, who cares, more importantly, the media finally got to ask questions to Palin.
Palin has only given 3 interviews to national reporters so far, compared to Joe Biden’s 89, but this is […]

Blog is Back

As you may have noticed Blogflict and iConflict were down for a few hours today after an activity spike, but we are back online once again.  Maybe it was the Palin crowd reading up on our recent posts…
