For Virginia congressional delegation is the energy discussion about politics

A few weeks back, Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-VA04) proposed a bold new initiative to reshape the energy discussion with his “New Manhattan Project.” The visionary plan seeks to incentivize innovation when it comes to increasing our energy independence.
The plan has all the makings of applying traditional American know-how and free-market principles to an […]

Jindal not likely to be the VP nominee

From today’s CBS morning show, Harry Smith interviewed Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal:
SMITH: Well, let me ask you this, now if he offered you the job, would you turn it down?
GOV. JINDAL: He’s not going to offer it to me. We’ve made it clear in private and publicly, every conversation, that I’ve got the job […]

Romney is the pick. Or is he?

Race 4 2008 is breaking, un-sourced, that Romney is the VP pick for John McCain. But the man who broke the story this week that the announcement would be made, Bob Novak, was not so sure tonight with Sean Hannity.
Update (July 23, 10:25 a.m.): The saga of Bob Novak’s blog-post continues, saying on Fox […]

A different kind of ‘love’ from McCain camp

A couple weeks ago, the McCain camp revealed an ad how Sen. McCain’s love of country has driven him to a lifetime of public service; today, while the media continue to swoon over Sen. Barack Obama’s “presidential” trip overseas, the McCain camp provides this interesting work-place diversion.
For what it’s worth…I voted for this one:

Lieberman expresses his views on the Democratic Party in Florida interview

A friend sent me this fascinating interview with former Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and presidential candidate, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT). Lieberman is in Florida campaigning on behalf of Sen. John McCain.
The interview highlights why Lieberman is supporting McCain and why he might speak at the Republican National Convention. But there was a fascinating […]

Could Obama be a conservative choice?

Or are McCain’s policies just so out of whack with conservative thought that conservatives don’t really have a choice? George Will presents yet another set of arguments for why today’s conservative Republican is potentially alone on an island.

Tim Kaine still mentioned as a Veep Candidate

In Chuck Todd’s most recent column, Gov. Tim Kaine still gets mentioned as a “comfort” vice presidential pick for Barack Obama.
For Obama, a comfort pick would be Tim Kaine, Kathleen Sebelius or even Jack Reed. All three could bring a little something to the ticket. But we in the media like to focus more on […]

Obama raised $52 million…last month!

Obama is reporting that he raised $52 million last month. Now that’s a lot of “change.”
Update: Fox News is reporting that McCain has $95 million on-hand; Obama has $92.3 million. Regardless, that’s a LOT of money.

WaPo: Obama is Clueless on Iraq

Barack Obama is his party’s presumptive nominee for President because he was the first and the loudest candidate to oppose the War in Iraq.  That issue is the single greatest factor precipitating Obama’s rocket-like ascent within the Democratic Party. Unfortunately for America, it becomes more and more apparent with each passing day that not only […]

Obama’s “evolving” war position may cost him his base

It seems the more one “hopes” for “change”, the more things stay the same.
True to form, as previous Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Barack Obama has so many positions on the war, it might be difficult to keep up with them.
