I have little to add to Ann Althouse’s raised eyebrows over Andrew Sullivan’s latest obsession (with John McCain’s cross reference - no pun intended).
Except to observe the obvious: Sullivan’s general response to Obama/McCain - though, to be kind, eccentric in details and choices - is paradigmatic of mainstream media. And I regard Sullivan as entirely MSM because his writing almost always looks outward toward them for approval, rarely any longer toward the blogosphere, which he has virtually abandoned except in instances when it seems useful to him (turning, of all places, to the over-heated Kos).
Sullivan and the MSM are in the midst of buyer’s remorse regarding the shallow Obama and desperate to find a way out or some justification. Via Glenn , I have discovered even the most soddenly conventional of all MSM purveyors of conventional wisdom - David Gergen - is sounding alarms. And now Zogby is reporting a five-point Mc...

As Andrew Sullivan simply stated, "Say goodbye to the rest of your day." Google is now hosting an exhausting millions of images from LIFE’s archives, "stretching from the 1750s to today." Here are a few NYC gems, and if you’re looking for more of old New York, we’d suggest having some search keywords in mind to make it a bit less overwhelming!

Sen. John McCain, whose presidential bid was snuffed out two weeks ago by Barack Obama, is setting up a political action committee as a first step in running for a fifth term in the Senate. A McCain spokesperson said the 72-year-old Arizona senator decided with his senior advisers tonight to set up the fundraising PAC. The spokesperson spoke anonymously because the decision had not yet been made public.... more
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said today that Republican John McCain would need a Halloween costume to persuade voters that he would depart from the policies and divisive politics of President Bush.

John Mayer was out dining with a male friend on Tuesday night at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, where, although the private exit was ready for him, Mayer decided to leave out the front door - right into the sea of awaiting paparazzi.
As Mayer ducked into his awaiting BMW, his bodyguard pushed a photog to the ground and then briefly grabbed him by the throat.
E! then says:
The guard then hopped into the driver seat and whisked Mayer away as customers and employees ... more

So, putting aside the polls, I think it was politically beneficial
for McCain to control the agenda of the debate. I think that meant he
advanced his message more effectively than Obama. If McCain can manage
the agenda of the next two debates as well (a big if), the final effect
could be quite helpful to him. It will [...]

I'm about to head out to the airport. But I thought this might be worth throwing into the blog-o-matic. From a reader:Jonah,
K-Lo posted a link to a DE site on the Katie's restaurant thing. An eagle-eyed commentator there pointed out that CNN has changed the debate transcript to read: "Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington OR go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time..." (Emphasis ... more
Arbitrarily casting a vote for a presidential candidate from one of the two best known parties based on whether or not he’s expected to win would be like handing your ballot to the media or to McCain or Obama and letting them vote for you. We’ve just been majorly swindled by the government and Wall Street. Did your candidate act on this in a way that you find acceptable? This was no small issue. If McCain or Obama win this election, we will be represented in the White House in the s... more
Since I’m for McCain, I was pleased to read the Arizona Senator has evened things up with Obama in the new Gallup Poll . But is this real? Only a few days ago, the LATimes was showing an Obama slaughter. What changed? Is it the pump prices and Obama’s non-response to drilling? McCain seems to have a more coherent and multi-faceted energy plan while Obama seems mired in very old-fashioned anti-nuke liberalism, but still… The question is the polls. How do we know if a... more
Some people don’t know when it’s time to move off stage. [Are you talking about yourself?-ed. No, I’m talking about you.] Ralph Nader — who should have moved off a decade or two ago — has accused Barack Obama of “talking white” . Didn’t know Nader was so up on his Ebonics. Maybe ‘DJ Princeton Ralph’ will start rapping for us now. He could do a duet with that other aging rapper Shaquille Oneal who has been “distin... more
Obama these days seems to be playing “Mr. Nyet” (remember Andrei Gromyko ?) every time McCain makes an energy proposal . Some of those are dubious (like the summertime gas tax hiatus) but most, including 300 million dollar prize for an advanced automobile battery, make sense. McCain is apparently able to see the energy crisis as a complex problem to be dealt with on several fronts from drilling to conservation and alternative fuels. Obama only sees the latt... more
Of course in that regard she (Elizabeth Alexander) is hardly different from most of her ilk, sent out to force-feed the public with inanities to preserve the reputations of their bosses. Her boss, Senator Joe Biden, just took some justifiable flak for doing a volte-face on Obama and Afghanistan. Mark Murray and Domenico Montenaro wrote on First Read :
While Joe Biden is defending Obama over the Illinois senator’s lack of subcommittee hearings on the issue of Afghanistan, op... more
