John McCain

By Noel Sheppard After all, calling Scozzafava either moderate or a Republican is about as accurate as claiming the Philadephia Phillies beat the New York Yankees last night. John McCain is a moderate Republican. Dede Scozzafava is so liberal that even if she was a Democrat, she'd still be considered libe...

By Ken Shepherd TAMRON HALL: The daughter of Sen.

By Brent Baker But Palin, along with her husband, got big cheers from the audience when they were introduced on stage at this fundraiser last night; and their table was the only one in the ballroom with a crowd around it. Several Republicans thanked Sarah Palin for showing up. Senator John McCain said it wa...

By Alok Jha, James Randerson, Andy Duckworth, Nell Boase, Ian Sample, David Adam So as science breathes a collective sigh of relief, we acknowledge how bad things could have been if the Republicans had won.

By Tim Graham Is this how NBC wants to greet two Republicans energetically offering gracious concessions? Trashing them for "basking" in Obama's glory? Here's a fuller transcript:   Clearly, Bush and McCain are more gracious in defeat that NBC and Chuck Todd are in victory.

By Jason Hancock A new robocall in Iowa and several battleground states from the campaign of Republican presidential nominee John McCain uses a quote from Democrat Barack Obama’s former rival for his party’s nomination, Sen.

By Jack Coleman Seeing how Maddow is so stricken by "intellectual dishonesty," other potential examples come to mind. Her claim that Sen. Joe Lieberman said "exactly the same thing," for example. What Lieberman said was undeniably along the same lines as Biden, but with an important difference. Lieber...

By TravelGolf.com - Dave Berner “The one area where John McCain really dominates as far as getting the vote among golfers is those who get into angry fits of rage following a bad shot and either hurl their club into the water, smash it against a tree or bash it against a cart,” says William K. Wolfrum. “That’s McCain’s base, re...

By Jack Coleman Wow -- McCain said that?  Well, not exactly. It appears Sen. John McCain will take Sen. Barack Obama up on his challenge. In other words, McCain stated the words, "I didn't have the guts," at least according to politicalwire.com -- but McCain was quoting Obama saying this about him, McCain.

By Matthew Balan This isn’t the first time that CNN has highlighted supposed conservative rancor towards Palin. Less than a week earlier, during an interview with National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru, CNN anchor Rick Sanchez tried to portray that there were a bunch of conservatives who were "defecting," i...

By Justin McCarthy HASSELBECK: Barack Obama has yet to come and do the same. BEHAR: That’s right. Same with Obama. HASSELBECK: Don’t tell- don’t give- do not give Barack Obama a pass in terms of coming on this show and give Sarah Palin an ultimatum in terms of coming on here.

By Ethan Ris His Lou Gehrig-esque sentiment aside, McCain will need to give some serious thought to his life after the election. Truth is, if he attempts a return to the Senate, he will be ostracized by Democrats for his negative campaigning and Republicans for his failure as a candidate. Here are some a...

By Scott Whitlock SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: All I can say is wow. SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: And I'm also very pleased to have the endorsement of four former secretaries of state. BERMAN: And as for McCain's running mate, Governor Sarah Palin, Powell also had harsh words.

An Obama-Biden radio ad hammers McCain for being opposed to stem cell research. Not true. Meanwhile two spots from the McCain-Palin campaign, together with the Republican National Committee, describe McCain's support for the research; they're largely accurate.

By John Amato Amato: That’s right, and if McCain gets in he can cut every program he wants in the name of saving America: “I’m cutting this to save America.” I mean, this jingoism is just sickening. You know what the Democrats should do? When McCain said he was going to suspend his campaign and go to Washingt...

Good morning, this is Sarah Palin -- the governor of Alaska and candidate for vice president. When Senator John McCain asked me to join the ticket last week, he placed a lot of confidence in me, and I'm going to do my level best to be worthy of it.

By Tommy Christopher The phrase is also unflattering to both candidates on another level. While Hillary says McCain is the same as Bush, and "We need a nominee who will take on John McCain...," one can't help but be reminded that neither Democrat was able to take on George W. Bush in the Senate. They still haven't gotte...
