So, we have all seen the woman who Amy Pohler and Seth Meyers refer to as “The Crazy Lady from the McCain Rally.” I’d be curious to ask her: if she lived in New Hampshire, who would she vote for: John Sununu Jr. or Jean Shaheen?

I caught John McCain’s appearance on David Letterman tonight. McCain joked that he was thinking about asking his son to send him a helmet and a flak jacket. Too bad McCain voted against sending our troops body armor, or they might actually be able to spare some.

I wasn’t sure that there was a lot that would make me change my mind about Barack Obama, but I have been looking at these videos from Mortimer Hayden Smyth of the noted conservative think-tank, The Center for American Free Thought. He’s got me convinced.
This video has been making the rounds. I think anyone could have told you that this was going to happen. First off, politicians rarely, if ever, get good receptions at sporting events. Second, Philadelphia sports fans…geez. I mean, these guys throw cups, nickles and batteries at their own players. Didn’t they boo Santa Claus once? [...]
