Obama/Biden '08?

I've been trying to stay away from the Presidential politics but I'm finding it more and more difficult.

Don Surber says that Fox News Channel won’t air this ad because it upsets people to consider who Barack Obama calls friends.



Perhaps it is time to start upsetting people. With friends like this, Obama shouldn’t even be in the Senate, let alone running for the Presidency.
(And that doesn’t even take into account Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, or the rest of the Chicago machine and everyone under the bus.)


The McCain folks were quick to pick up on Obama’s choice of Biden for VP. And they played dirty. They used direct quotes from Biden.



Ed Morrisey on the timing of the text message announcement:

I’m not sure a political campaign could possibly screw up a running-mate announcement as badly as Team Obama. The e-mail message that the world awaited for days finally came — at 4:50 am ET.

Michelle Malkin says It’s Smarmy and Smirky ‘08!

If this was such a great choice, why announce it very late Friday night/early Saturday morning? This is the time when all bad news is usually announced because newsrooms are undermanned and because no one is going to be paying attention come Saturday morning.

Also, Peggy Noonan wrote this week in the Wall Street Journal about why Barack Obama seems to be falling in recent polls:
They're Paying Attention Now.


Oh, yeah, I nearly forgot. The man hasn’t been declared the official candidate yet. That might happen next week at the convention in Denver. Might not.
