I was delighted to see the brilliant “Sam Copeland” (his blogger name), who is currently working with our military on strategic influence, come in and comment on my Harry Truman cartoon. “Sam” apologizes for not visiting No Quarter as often as he would like, but his very acceptable excuse is, “ Support for [...]

It has taken the better part of a year, and specifically the last six months of this election season, for committed citizen journalists at NoQuarter and many other blogsites to do the research on Barack Obama that the media, the democratic national committee, and our Congress should have done. Although our collective knowledge of Barack Obama [...]

Our reluctant allies on the Right believe McCain was struck by the perfect storm. McCain’s loss was less about campaign strategy failures than an incredibly unpopular president of the same party and an economic October surprise which underscored his Party’s difficulties. It really was about Change. From the National Review:
1) 2008′S OUTCOME AND THE [...]

January 19, 2008:
The Obama campaign has had a deliberate strategy of calling the Clinton campaign racist and the media has allowed itself to be led along. Obama himself confessed to this strategy in the Nevada debate when shown a copy of a campaign memo directing campaign workers to use race-bating to defame Hillary Clinton.
January 27, [...]

Obama never had the support of the LGBT community. Indeed, 63% of LGBT Democrats supported Hillary Clinton during the California primary, while a paltry 29% cast their votes for Barack Obama. I imagine LGBT support for Clinton was equally strong in other states, for according to a poll conducted last November, this constituency [...]

I think this article found in USA Today speaks for itself. It is ironic, however, that one of the reasons the DNC was so anxious to nominate Senator Obama, aside from his deep, deep pockets, is that they were so sure those “Obamicans” would reshape the electoral map and turn classically red states blue [...]

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others:
started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from anger, [...]

In Monday’s Washington Post, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, is quoted as saying, “I think one of the things driving the national polls is that the red states are redder.”
Is Axelrod right? Could it be McCain has energized his base but that Obama remains ahead?
Using Electoral-Vote.com’s numbers, I created a list of [...]

‘Pols,’ media and other clueless head-scratchers are in a tizzy that McCain has surged ahead in the polls:
A senior Democratic strategist, who has played a prominent role in two presidential campaigns, told The Sunday Telegraph:
“These guys are on the verge of blowing the greatest gimme in the history of American politics. They’re the most [...]
