Political Equinox

The results are in and people are claiming Joe Biden held his own and Sarah Palin didn’t disappoint. I must agree, even though I’ll have to give Biden the nod as the overall debate winner, Governor Palin came close.

However, don’t take that as an endorsement of the potential Vice President, as Palin benefited from the poor debate format. The moderator moved the candidates quickly from subject to subject almost as if attempting to cover the entire range of issues in a single debate.

This was wasteful of the American people’s time. Why not focus on the economy, the war, and healthcare. Giving ample time to each subject instead of skipping from question to question. Instead we addressed very little on each …

America hasn’t seen a marketing machine similar to the Obama campaign for President in years (if ever), and I would be awful surprised if this well-oiled machine didn’t pull out a victory in November.

While Barack Obama is an exciting person, it is his campaigns unmatched ability to implement an excellent marketing strategy that revolves around creating energy and brand recognition.

Of course, I’m making the assumption that the former Arkansas Governor was even on the list.

So how do I know he’s off the list? Typically, when you find out you are no longer a candidate for your desired job you go searching for other opportunities.

Huckabee is moving forward with all due speed on setting up a television show on the Fox News Channel. Why would a man who could …

John McCain wrote an op-ed piece that apparently defended his stance on the Iraq War and attempted to lay out his plan for Iraq. The editorial was rejected by the New York Times. At first, I was ticked that the NY Times would play bias and print only an editorial by one side, but then I discovered the real problem. After reading the editorial released by the McCain campaign, it is apparent why it was rejected in that it contains little regarding McCain’s plan.
I have said that I expect to welcome home most of our troops from Iraq by the end of my first term in office, in 2013.
Only one statement in the editoral seems to lay out …
