Votimus Official Blog: McCain Abandons Michigan
http://votimus.blogspot.com/2008/10/mccain-abandons-michigan.html
Saturday, October 4, 2008. The biggest loser in John McCain's decision to abandon Michigan is Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota, who will now need to deal with thousands of volunteers from Michigan pouring into Minnesota.

Didn't McCain learn anything from Guiliani when he skipped out on New Hampshire and Iowa? October 4, 2008 at 5:51 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, October 7, 2008. No News Good News For Obama. In one of the more forgettable debates in recent memory, Barak Obama was the winner if for no other reason than he had no unforced errors and avoided one more potential pitfall on the way to the Presidency. McCain needed to damage Obama somehow, and according to most pundits failed to do so. With less than four weeks to go before the election, McCain is clearly running out of time.

Strategy, politics, and history from the peanut gallery. Bad WWII History: Neutrality Edition. May 4, 2012. Tom Parker at Amnesty International, in his criticism of John Brennan’s recent speech on the U.S. drone campaigns, offers up a strange argument. Wars are fought between states in defined theaters of conflict. Brennan drew a comparison with World War II, but World War II was fought on the territories occupied by the parties to the conflict and not just anywhere that was considered expedient. Viewing...
