Kathleen Parker, a conservative columnist, shocked most in her party when she took Palin to task in her column September 26.
I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe [...]

McCain has decided to attack whenever possible and place Obama, if possible, on the defensive. This is going to be a long debate. Obama is doing well and keeping his usual cool. McCain, 30 minutes into the debate, is attacking on every response since first question.
Bob Schieffer threw the ball in the air and McCain [...]

Great stuff on the stump for Obama, from the Clinton’s and the Biden’s:

Maybe after I’ve had more time to think about this goddamn crap I’ll be able to give a better reading of the debate.
Obviously both Obama and McCain were more aggressive. The constant contradictions of each other wore on me deeply. There are definite written plans. Why can’t we get any newsperson or moderator who has [...]

According to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, nearly “six out of ten Americans believe another economic depression is likely.” I wasn’t one of the lucky folks polled, but I have to say I’d be among those “six out of ten Americans” who believe an “economic depression is likely.”
From where I sit, the economy has [...]

I’ve spent the weekend preparing for my move cross country in two weeks and not paying much attention to the news once again. Sorry readers… Once I am relocated (and settled) in beautiful coastal Maine, I’ll be back on track here on The Dem Daily.
I was browsing through Memeorandum to check the scoops of the [...]

You gotta love John Kerry…
Here we are not only in the midst of a critical Presidential and Congressional election season, but now America is in a deep financial crisis. Money is tight for so many Americans right now, but Kerry gets just how important this election is.
So what does Kerry do?
He pony’s up 1 Million [...]

This is going to be very short. John McCain did better than I wanted. McCain was dismissive towards Obama. In several places McCain simply attacked Obama’s judgment and integrity. In the beginning Obama was tying McCain to Bush. Then he let him off the hook. Why?
When McCain was simply talking nothing but lies why the [...]

Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton sat down together for a web cast with questions from women on the issues that are most important to them. Watch the video here:
As a single mother and a small business owner, I have to say they addressed a lot of issues that important to me, including health care, social [...]

Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden was on the stump today hitting McCain in a speech that draws the battle lines showing that a McCain presidency “would amount to a third Bush term.”
In recent weeks, Biden has received less attention from the media than his counterpart Sarah Palin, but today’s speech, Politico reports, “seems to be [...]

I was really proud to support Hillary Clinton in the primaries and I loved her speech at the Democratic Convention last month. The line, “No Way, No How, No McCain” really struck a chord for me and a lot of other supporters as well.
Hillary was on the stump for Obama in Ohio on Sunday and [...]

Sarah Palin never banned any books from her local library. But she did look into the matter- with the backing of her church- and fired a librarian that was shocked Palin would ask about such a thing (the librarian was rehired after a public outcry). There’s an implication that if there hadn’t been an outcry [...]
