If you were a hired gun for one of the candidates in this year's presidential election, what advice would you give each candidate?

I'm especially curious to see what suggestions Kossacks might have for McCain.

I'll start things off...

It's been noted that Barack Obama possesses a certain Teflon quality. Despite some pitfalls that one could reasonably expect to seriously damage a Presidential candidate's run(you all know them, so I won't bother to list them)BHO has prevailed over Clinton and has not seen his standing in GE polls change significantly.

I may just be an unfrozen caveman lawyer, but the way I see it, it shouldn't be that hard for Obama to drag HRC into her own mudpit without getting himself dirty

Interesting AP article on how Megachurchgoers can get left in the lurch when their spiritual svengalis turn out to be hucksters.

The good news is, as soon as one preacher gets exposed as a crank-addled john, there's another one ready to take his place, pre-equipped with a brand new series of books on tape explaining how God wants them to be rich.

While the opposition to this latest redundant anti-gay initiative set to appear on the Wisconsin ballot in November may be better organized than ususal(perhaps due to the fact that it targets not only gay marriage, but domestic partner benefits, as well), Most polls, though, indicate that it's gonna pass, as will a strictly advisory pro death penalty referendum. On the other hand, fairly liberal Democratic Gov. Doyle looks set to win re-election, despite the fact that he is strongly against the anti-gay measure and has
pledged to veto any bill legalizing capital punishment. Obviously, if he is reelected, Doyle will have gotten votes from many people who voted for the death penalty and anti-gay measures. Read More

Back when Cheney shot his hunting buddy in the face, I was surprised that he didn't get more flak for taking part in a phony "hunt" of penned quail. Hunting isn't for me, but I've never been one to pass judgement on those who do enjoy it. I always assumed, though, that the actual hunt part of hunting was its primary appeal for enthusiasts. Therefore, I figured that outdoorsmen everywhere would be outraged that the VP of The United States of America was going around getting his jollies by snuffing out captive birds. I was wrong.

The sad thing is, Juan Williams has done good work in the not so distant past. His civil rights histories are near definitive, his op-ed work for the Washington Post was better than respectable, and he could always be counted on for insightful commentary on NPR. Then he hooked up with Fox News... Read More

Far too many media "professionals" are seduced by the celebrity, wealth and influence of their subjects.

Occasionally, journalists actually fuck their subjects, as was the case with Daryn Kagan or Suzy Wetlaufer, the Harvard Business Review editor who got herself fired for crawling into the sack with Neutron Jack(Welch).

More often, the attraction is platonic and completely one-sided. The smitten party doesn't want to boink the object of their obsession. Rather, they want to BE the object of their obsession. Think Thomas Ripley/Dickie Greenleaf. Or George "T-Bone" Costanza/Dan Cortese. Or Chris Matthews/George W. Bush. Read More

There's been a lot writen recently about Richard Cohen's recent Washington Post column, in which he opines that Patrick Fitzgerald should pull up stakes and beat the retreat back to Chicago. Why? He offers two reasons, one fake and one real. His fake reason is that a conspiracy rap for Rove or Libby would be somehow unfair. His real reason is only implied, hidden beneath his argument about "control of information." The real reason Cohen has his underoos in a bunch over this investigation is that it threatens his own inflated image of himself and his profession. Like Novak and Miller, Cohen believes that a byline and a press card unburden him from such petty concerns as objective fact, ethical standards, and rule of law. Granted, there is a certain amount of arrogance inherent in the job description of an op-ed columnist. Read More
