I have long suspected that the post-convention McCain bump in the polls would not last since. Now there is strong evidence that virtually the entirely based on a jump upon enthusiasm among hard-core GOPers and that, to paraphrase John McCain, the fundamentals of the Obama campaign are quite strong.
The NYTimes and CBS conducted a poll [...]

John McCain is a maverick! How can I tell? Well, aside from the fact that he tells people he picked Sarah Palin as his vice presidential choice. No one had thought of the half-term Alaskan governor. So he’s a maverick! (Although picking Joe Lieberman, something he thought was the best choice, and in the process [...]

The surprise vice presidential pick of Sarah Palin by John McCain told us a lot about the campaign, much of it concerning. The first and most obvious, is that most of his strategy has become trying to convince Hillary supporters to switch over to him. Rudy has been going on radio and television shows trying [...]

John McCain is the straight-talk express, letting the whole world see what a petulant, nasty person he is. There were glimpses during the primary when he could barely contain his contempt for Mitt Romney (the same one he might now choose for VP). But in the still-early stages of the general election, McNasty has managed [...]

But in this bubble of conviction, she has started to lose touch with reality. Even on the day when [...]

The rhetoric and tactics that Hillary Clinton has pushed on China policy demonstrate everything that is wrong about her campaign, and herself as a politician. Publicly advocating that President Bush should boycott the opening ceremony in response to a pu-pu platter of offenses by the Chinese Government would not only fail to help promote progress [...]

I remember Bill Clinton’s first presidential election in 1992. He was cool, smart, likable and most importantly, he really cared about the average American. He gave people hope and made them feel like America’s best days were ahead of them. There was a Bush in the White House, a war in Iraq had just ended, [...]

Super Tuesdays results were anything but decisive for either Democratic candidate. However, Senator Obama won the most states and the most delgates. The next several contests favor Obama, and if he can make a big push we will have a new face of leadership in America, after 28 years of Clintons and Bushes in the [...]

American Su Fei has a video up where she goes around asking Beijingers what they think about the American election, primarily the Obama-Hillary aspect. I should mention that I was planning to do this bit based on message boards a few weeks back–except the discussions about Obama had almost no participants and made little sense. [...]
