Preserving John McCain In Barack Obama’s Bile

BARACK Obama, or Team Obama, to give its Americanism, has a new advert out. Its features John McCain wearing pair of bins that used to go well with a dirty Macintosh in 70’s anti-paedo films.

You half expect a voice to come on and tell us: “Charlie says stay away from John McCain.”

Sat in his demob suit below a disco ball, his PA talking down a brick-sized phone, him trying to tune into Dallas on his outdated computer and get his withered hand around a Rubik’s Cube, McCain is old and useless.

And a voiceover:

“Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t”

He hasn’t aged a day.

Sarah Plain Is An Elementary Iditarod

SARAH Palin’s children are not as elite as Barack Obama’s. Really:

It is with huge grief-filled disappointment that I discovered that the Obamas send their children to the University of Chicago Laboratory School (by 5th grade, tuition equals $20,286 a year). The school’s Web site quotes all that ridiculous … nonsense about developing character while, of course, isolating your children from the poor.

He wants poor blacks to vote for him, not befriend his kids. Of course, he’s not the only one:

Not only did John McCain’s four children attend elite private schools in Arizona, but collective donations to their children’s private schools between 2001 and 2006, totaled $500,000

Hmmm. And what about the Hockey Mom, Sarah Palin?

Sarah Palin’s children went to what looks like a humble little public school: Iditarod Elementary on Wasilla Fishhook Road. That’s a lot of street cred, for a gun-totin’, snow-mobilin’ creationist-lovin’ lady.

Iditarod Elementary? Perfect.

Iditarod. Is that Alaskan for snow?

Barack Obama In Favour Of Global Warming

BARACK Obama is with the press corps. Yeah, they love him. Feel that tremour? Obama spots someone he recognises:

Before settling in for a few minutes to speak briefly about the issues of the day with Pop Ellis’ owner Doug Ellis and his staff, Obama got word that “Big Daddy” Don Garlits was in the house.

“Hey! Hey! Over here!” Obama yelled to the traveling band of national press.

Don..?

What The Polls Really Say About Obama, McCain And Palin

OBAMA is winning. McCain is winning. Palin bounces like a dead moose. So what;s what?

That change in McCain’s image–or, better, that filling in of McCain’s image–accounts above all for his rise in the polls. Some of the polls have reported massive defections among white women, which they attribute to Sarah Palin’s candidacy, but I don’t believe these are accurate.

I go with Gallup, which saw the greatest change among independents and conservative Democrats. The convention gave independents a reason to vote for McCain and deprived conservative Democrats (who are still anti-Republican) of a reason to vote against him.

What about Palin? I agree with my colleague Noam Scheiber who argues that Palin’s main effect is not to attract new voters to McCain (OK, Alaska is no longer in play), but to attract attention to McCain–beginning with the convention. I expect that by November, as her sheer novelty wears off and as voters focus more on her qualifications, she will have proven to be either of no effect or a liability to McCain.

Polls. Only one result matters…

SARAH Palin Watch: Anorak’s look at Sarah Palin in the British media…

BRIAN READE (Mirror): One of Reade’s “Big Questions”

“SARAH PALIN admitting she still gets up at 3am to hunt moose. If she fails to make vice-president, will she do a showbiz column with Paris Hilton and Kelly Osbourne called the 3am Moose.”

What Looks Like a Pig And Smells Of Fish

THE Day Barack Obama lost the White House:

There’s one thing I haven’t seen anyone else say that I think needs to be said. Obama did not just mention a pig. He immediately mentioned a fish. That’s 2 animals in rapid succession. And both of these animals are frequently used in sexual insults referring to women. The reference to the pig also has it wearing lipstick, which is obviously a female image. And the reference to a fish also has it stinking, which is exactly the aspect of fish that is used when fish are invoked to insult women. I still think it’s nothing, but if you think it’s something, fairness requires you to consider the remark in context.
