Some abolitionist Republicans dissed President Abraham Lincoln for not getting rid of slavery fast enough.
Some Socialists panned President Franklin D. Roosevelt for not taking the New Deal far enough.

Well, it looks like, with a little help from her handlers (and a trusty earpiece) Palin made it through last night’s debate without breaking down like a South Carolina beauty queen. But, then again, I was enjoying Lemon Meringue Martinis, last night and following along on my Blackberry. I’m sure I missed the really good [...]

During the vice presidential debate it became clear that Sarah Palin had not boned up too much on health care as she ducked and dodged Gwen Ifill’s questions on the subject.

Oy… I’m sorry, but I simply can not believe that Barack Obama went there today:
“You have a real choice in this election. Either Democrat would be better than John McCain,” Obama said to cheers from a rowdy crowd in central Pennsylvania. Then he said: “And all three of us would be better than George Bush.”
