Can we get back to “you didn’t build that”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 23, 2012 31 Comments

Where has "you didn't build that" gone? It was the spark which led to the pre-convention decline by Obama, but the deflection to Romney's Libya statement and secret doctored video has taken it off the table. Get back to it. It's a winner still. ...

Saturday Night Card Game (new verb, “to Chris Matthews”)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 22, 2012 24 Comments

Maybe I should change the name of this series to the Saturday Night Chris Matthews Card Game, since Matthews is such a frequent topic lately. Matthews doesn't, apparently, understand that he was being mocked when Bill Maher asked whether Matthews was overly aggressive in charging racism (via RCP): Bill Maher,...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 22, 2012 27 Comments

I haven't written much lately about the insurance sales organization doing business as a senior citizens advocacy group using the name AARP. You have AARP, among other corporate sell-outs, to thank for Obamacare, as I posted in 2009-2010: When Will AARP, Consumers Union and AMA Be Held To Account...

Finish hard, and fight through the finish line

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 21, 2012 44 Comments

It has been an exhausting month so far, but I'm actually feeling pretty good about the election. I'm not predicting or not predicting victory, but the media is at an all time low in levels of trust, which leads me to think maybe people understand the...

Posted by Anne Segal on September 21, 2012 20 Comments

This Wednesday, I reported that the media were falsely reporting that Chick-fil-A had decided to cease donations to "anti-gay" groups. Scores of so-called reputable news outlets like the Los Angeles Times and ABC News ran headlines declaring that Chick-fil-A had changed its policy toward giving to...

How do we know Scott Brown won the debate last night?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 21, 2012 21 Comments

There is no question that Scott Brown won the debate last night. It wasn't a knock out. As Howie Carr correctly notes, a man can't get away with hitting a woman too hard in a debate: When he was pummeling her on the asbestos litigation, and her...

There's an extremely competitive race going on in the IL-8 congressional district; it's just the Democrats don't want anyone to find out. This is the race between Tea Party stalwart Congressman Joe Walsh and the DNC darling Tammy Duckworth. Walsh made headlines in 2010 for his well-fought...
