• An Obama-McCain Ticket? — Even Democrats Don’t Like Joe Biden

  —The Sample Gates

  At a recent Biden campaign rally, Jim Pacillo, introduced “the next vice president of the United States, John McCain!” He’s not the only one who realized Biden would make a bad VP. Biden himself has said that Hillary might have been a better pick: Others think that Biden was a [...]

• McCain Steps Up His Socialism

  —The Sample Gates

  Number of comments: 2
  Joseph Stalin or Leon Trotsky? That’s the decision you have to make on November 4th. John McCain has already come out in favor of the bailout and other measures that are fiscally irresponsible. During tonight’s debate, he stepped it up a notch, saying he wants to treasury to buy the mortgages of [...]

• Cancel the Next Presidential Debate

  —The Sample Gates

  Cancel the debate between John McCain and Barack Obama and have their vice presidential candidates step in instead. McCain and Obama can’t debate, and, more importantly, they are completely boring. Where are the back and forth attacks that dominated the Biden-Palin debate? Well, of course there aren’t attacks when both [...]

• McCain’s Latest Ad Looks Like a 527

  —The Sample Gates

  Number of comments: 1
  Sorry to disappoint any blog readers looking for a “right wing lovefest,” but I must say, the McCain campaign’s focus on parsing Obama’s comment about not wanting troops in Afghanistan to “air-raid villages and kill civilians,” is over the top. Obama said that he didn’t want the troops to be doing [...]

• Can Obama Hang On To His Early Lead?

  —The Sample Gates

  Number of comments: 2
  With voting already started in some states, Obama has a huge lead right now, especially in Ohio. In Ohio, you are allowed to register to vote and vote in the same day, so Obama activists are registering homeless people to vote using fake addresses and having them vote on the [...]

  Nice job, McCain. You suspended your campaign, saying that you needed to reach a bailout solution, but then one entire day later, when no solution had been reached, you got back into campaign mode and are ready for the debate. Time has confirmation that McCain will debate. According to his campaign, [...]

  —The Sample Gates

  Barack Obama might have rebuffed McCain’s call to delay Friday’s debate but, really, he should be glad he might not have to take the stage. After spending all of May, June and July dodging John McCain’s challenge of town-hall debates, Obama would have had to face all his demons at the [...]
