When John McCain won the Republican nomination, and Barack Obama won the Democratic side, we at WinkestLink were delighted. We thought the two best candidates had emerged from the muck, and America would be treated to a higher level of political discourse than we had been during the previous two elections. Obama essentially came from [...]
Many by now heard the story of the woman who was attacked by a “big black man” who carved a backward “B” on the side of her face. Several of the staff here at The Winkest Link had said that this story stank to high heaven long before it was revealed as a hoax Friday. [...]
Recently Senator John McCain and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin have been referring to their voters – and their voters alone – as “real” Americans. I’d like to say it’s hard to think that they would say something like this, but truthfully I’m not shocked to have heard them say this. Apparently Senator McCain is [...]
Barack Obama and John McCain have been saying that they both are willing to reach across the aisles and pass bipartisan bills for the good of the nation. If that’s the case, then why are they only publicly admiring past presidents within their own party? Obama has been speaking well of John Kennedy and FDR, [...]
Senator McCain, you keep asking this question: “Who is Barack Obama?” You have served with him in the Senate. You have called him your friend. He has written two books telling you who he is. The books don’t include comments supporting terrorism, but….. Is he a terrorist? If so, Senator McCain, you should have turned [...]

If you follow that link, you’ll see this in the article: “’I have to [...]
Eight years ago then-candidate Bush promised to be a hands-across-the-aisle, bring-us-all-together sort of candidate & president. Of course he was just the opposite, running the dirtiest campaign (and presidency) in decades. (When Nixon looks good by comparison, you have besmirched the office…) Early in the 2000 primaries John McCain was gaining some momentum. Bush “push-polled” [...]
So after watching three debates by the Presidential nominees and VP nominees, I continue to hear the Republican candidates saying that we must stay in Iraq in order to “win.” Let’s temporarily set aside all those famous quotes by the generals of old saying that nobody really wins in a war, and look at what [...]
McCain has recently decided in light of low poll numbers and his inability to gain ground on the economy issue, decided to leave the issues and go on the attack.
I think it is funny that McCain is now trying to position himself as the candidate of change. McCain won the primaries at least to some extent by being the candidate of experience. That worked then, and it is his best bet now.
