I thought singing and dancing ads went out in the 70s: A lame attempt to do a satire on the “I’m on a horse” Old Spice ad: Dale Peterson became an internet sensation with his rifle-over-the-shoulder campaign ads: But Pamela Gorman shows she can fire automatic weapons with a smile: Chuck DeVore attempts to win […]

In the fine tradition of recent Washington rallies, Jon Stewart just estimated the crowd at 10 million people. He added that demographically and ethnically, the crowd exactly mirrors the population of the US — 74% white, 14% black, and the rest other. [I’m conducting an experiment — if we repeat the 10 million figure often […]

A new poll finds that by an astounding two-to-one margin, likely voters in next week’s election think that federal taxes have gone up, believe the economy has shrunk, and are under the distinct impression that the money lent to banks as part of the TARP program won’t be recovered. The truth is that Obama cut […]

[Thanks, Ezra Klein] What’s doubly ironic about this is that it is a positive ad. And yet oh so devastating.

Three Republican candidates — Meg Whitman, Rick Scott, and Linda McMahon — have collectively spent $243 million dollars of their own money on their campaigns. Yes, almost a quarter of a billion dollars. That’s more than the combined spending during this election of the US Chamber of Commerce, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, and major union […]

[I’m reposting this from the ever-brilliant Margaret and Helen.] Margaret, the problem with Populism is that the population includes asses like Sarah Palin and her Tea Party. Someone needs to remind them that this is America. The government is elected by the people. Questioning your government is patriotic. Hating your government, one the other hand, […]

The District of Columbia created an electronic system to make it easier for overseas and military voters to cast ballots over the Internet. I want to point out that this is not some complicated electronic voting system, it is very simple: The voter goes to a website and they get a PDF file of the […]

I have nothing but respect for the “chamber of commerce” — the thousands of local organizations that help small businesses and consumers, but most people don’t realize that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is completely different. The USCC has become a blatantly partisan organization, running the largest campaign against Democrats in the upcoming election: […]
