Opinion: CD-ROM Converter Service Center HSI Doubles As The GOP’s Favorite ‘Academic Think Tank’

25 Jun 2009 10:14:05 PDT

Written by Lee Fang
Indeed, the McCain campaign paid $50,000 to HSI, the same firm that wrote their health plan, to produce “independent” comparisons between the McCain health plan versus Obama’s. Trying to conceal the payment, the McCain campaign reported the $50,000 as “legal consulting.” Strangely en...

Written by The Huffington Post News Team
Anyway: everything was someone else's fault. If it wasn't the press it was the campaign, and if it wasn't the campaign, it was the stock markets. I guess it wouldn't be SOBER to suggest that at a time when the McCain campaign was in need of some coherent decision making and messaging, Michael G...

One does not have to be a psychoanalyst to reckon that McCain was smitten. By no means am I suggesting anything untoward between McCain and his running mate. Palin is a governor, after all. She does have an executive resume, if a thin one. And she’s a natural politician who connects with people.

Written by Andrew Romano
You'll notice that McCain never really bothered to say what we don't know about Obama and Ayers--let alone why what we don't know matters, or what Obama isn't telling the truth about. The point, it seems, is to create a false air of mystery around the Obama-Ayers relationship--and encoura...
