Romney explains '92 vote for Tsongas

ABC News' Jonathan Greenberger Reports: Republican presidential candididate Mitt Romney offered a new explanation today for why he supported a Democrat in 1992. That year, Romney, then a registered independent, voted for former Sen. Paul Tsongas in the 1992 Democratic presidential primary. He told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, in an interview that will air Sunday on "This Week," that his vote was meant as a tactical maneuver aimed at finding the weakest opponent for incumbent President George H.W. Bush. "In Massachusetts, if you register as an independent, you can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary," said Romney, who until...

NO ERUPTION FORECAST UNTIL 2008

As the dust and ash settles from the recent earthshaking eruption of Mt. Republican, I think it's time to take stock of where we are in now red America. Dazed and confused blue-media types are still stumbling around unshaven and disheveled, trying to comprehend it all. I feared somebody had died when newspapers were draped in funereal, foreboding headlines like, “What will happen to us now?!” or “Where will we go?!” Classic headlines like, “BUSH WINS!” or “REPUBLICAN SWEEP!” mysteriously vanished. The endangered species, formerly known as the Big Three networks, are re-evaluating their existence. Dan Rather, shaky, pale and...

Cyclone Kerry may move towards Australia

Cyclone Kerry may move towards Australia. Weather forecasters are keeping a close watch on a cyclone expected to move slowly towards Australia. The category three Cyclone Kerry formed near Fiji on January 6 and has moved slowly westwards, weather forecaster Jeff Callaghan said. "It's way, way out in the eastern part of our area and moving very slowly at the moment," Mr Callaghan told AAP. "It will probably do that for another 24 hours then just slowly move towards the Queensland coast." By mid-morning, Cyclone Kerry was in the Coral Sea about 1,200 km east-north-east of the north Queensland city...

THE BEST LAID PLANS OF AN ABSENTEE SENATOR

During the October 8 presidential debate in St. Louis, I noticed that John Kerry kept saying he has a "plan"; a plan for just about everything from saving Medicare to winning the war on terror. He kept repeating the word over and over, and it struck me that if indeed he does have all these plans to make our lives so much better, why hasn't he ever shared them with the U.S. Senate? After all, even though he rarely participates in any Senate business anymore, he is still a Senator. Isn't he obliged to show up every once in a...

Bubba Don’t Windsurf

The Bush campaign finally unleashed the assault weapon of witty political commercials. I saw it coming since I caught my first glimpse of Senator Kerry windsurfing in the summer, and I wondered when the footage would be used. Now it's here, and even if it doesn't run regularly from now until the election, the damage may already have been done to Kerry's hopes of being the first northeasterner elected president in more than four decades.

WINDSURFER WATERLOO (why the surfboard--not the snowboard--is Kerry's Achilles' heel)

WINDSURFER WATERLOOwhy the surfboard--not the snowboard--is Kerry's Achilles' heel by Mia T, 9.26.04 THE HOT DEBATE OVER THE WINDSURFING AD [09/23 11:54 AM] There is apparently much debate about the windsurfing ad over at the Corner. Here's the CNN summary of the charges and countercharges so far: Underscoring the Bush attacks was a new television ad showing Kerry windsurfing to the strains of the "Blue Danube" waltz. A narrator reads a list of what the Bush campaign contends are the senator's vacillating positions on the Iraq war, education and Medicare. The ad ends with the tag line: "John Kerry. Whichever...

Windsurfing in the Persian GulfWHY JOHN KERRY IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA by Mia T, 9.24.04 Kerry is UNFIT #21: THUMBSUCKER SERIES-BOARDHEAD TO THE RESCUE- (viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE) "I mean, I was in Safwan. I went there when the signing of the armistice took place at the end of the war." John KerryThe O'Reilly Factor, 2001 ohn Kerry's odd phrasing, above, suggests he was more likely windsurfing in the Persian Gulf than witnessing the signing of the Gulf-War cease fire. (Kerry's prior relevant vote, as well as his tawdry dilettantish tendencies, would tend to support this...

Surfing the Northwest, Where the Winds Are (The Times tries to do damage control for Kerry)

The first thing you notice driving east into Hood River, Ore., is the neon-colored sails skimming across the mile-wide Columbia River, looking like fluttering butterfly wings as they catch the afternoon sun. It takes a moment to realize there are people with those sails, standing on boards propelled by the wind. And then it's clear why Hood River is the epicenter of windsurfing in North America: wind, water and sun. Designated a National Scenic Area in 1986, the Columbia River Gorge, which separates Oregon and Washington, is the only east-west gap in the Cascade Range. The prevailing westerly winds in...
