I Call Bull…

The tale of John Edwards staffers looking to “sabotage” his campaign if it looked like he would win would make a good plot for a Richard Condon novel, but it smacks of operatives trying to make themselves look better, especially after Elizabeth Edwards’s revelations last week.
Think about the plausibility of this: these operatives were so [...]

One Last Gasp from the PUMAs…Good Riddance…

Our friend Darragh Murphy is over at her blog basically claiming that Barrack Obama cheated. I suppose the weeks of deluding herself into thinking that there was no way that Obama could win left her unable to grasp the fact that her “movement” wasn’t quite so big after all.

Howard Dean in Tucson

I got a call a couple of hours ago:
“Is this James G. Blaine?”
It wasn’t John Logan, but Howard Dean. I had the chance to ask him a few questions. Unfortunately, some changes in his schedule prevented me from being able to do a video interview with him. Some of you may have caught my conversation [...]

Obama-Biden Conference Call

I was invited to listen in on the Obama-Biden conference call with Barack Obama’s field director, Jon Carson. Does this make me a real journalist? Gawd, too much responsibility.
Carson confirmed that Obama’s schedule has been set for the weekend and that it does not include a visit to Arizona. He also confirmed that the ad [...]
