Obama Picks Joe Biden

by Nick on August 22, 2008

JoeBidenLrgObama appears to have selected Joe Biden as his Vice Presidential running mate.  According to ABC News, the Secret Service has been dispatched to Biden’s house.  This, in addition to the growing list of people confirmed not to be the pick, makes it all but certain.

If Joe Biden isn’t the pick, then give some major credit to the Obama Campaign for pulling off quite a stunt….

UPDATE: CNN is also reporting that they have confirmed that the pick is Joe Biden.

John Edwards Admits Affair

by Nick on August 8, 2008

John Edwards has admitted that he had an affair with Rielle Hunter.  The National Enquirer has been claiming this story for almost a year now, despite the repeated denials from Edwards.  Edwards still claims that he is not the father of Rielle Hunter’s daughter.

What’s really a shame, I think, is that this will distract from the election.  The media loves scandals, so this will probably be the dominant story for the next week or so.  Hopefully they will tire of it by the time the conventions come around so we can get back to the much more important task of choosing our next president.

Is Don Young Next?

by Nick on July 30, 2008

ABC News points out that Congressman Don Young (R - AK) is under investigation for dealings with Veco, the same company that Senator Ted Stevens got in trouble for dealing with.  Young has also been tied (though not charged) to Jack Abramoff; a former staffer plead guilty in relation to the Abramoff scandal.

The Alaska GOP is not looking so good these days.
