As the newly minted Republican ticket gets set to tour key campaign states immediately following the end of the party’s convention, Sarah Palin's husband Todd is staying behind in Minneapolis for what's reputed to be the largest snowmobile event in the word.
Palin, a world renowned championship snowmobiler known as the "first dude" in Alaska, is set to attend "Hay Days" in lieu of hitting the campaign trail, senior McCain campaign aides told CNN. "Hay Days" is a snowmobile grass drag racing event that is billed as the unofficial kick-off of the snowmobile season. Read More...

John McCain's White House Campaign Office (R) posted a Blog Post (McCain Report) on September 4, 2008 | 1:00 am - Permalink - Comments (View)Barack Obama knows that Pennsylvania voters are about more than just clinging bitterly to God and guns, they also love their "Nittaly Lions." Update: A reader reminds us that this is, in fact, Obama's third PA-related gaffe. In July of this year Senator Obama offered this backhanded compliment to the citizens of Pittsburgh:
"I’ve been struck by how many beautiful places there are in the country that you don’t necessarily think of as beautiful. Pittsburgh, for example, is a really handsome town with the rivers and the hills.”
Our Pittsburgh based reader adds: "It's nice to know that we rate so highly in his estimation: the first time he ever thought about our town was when he swung by to ask for our votes!"

Bumiller Stands By Her Story...After Paper Retracts
John McCain's White House Campaign Office (R) posted a Blog Post (McCain Report) on September 3, 2008 | 1:00 am - Permalink - Comments (View)Yesterday the New York Times ran a front-page story by Elisabeth Bumiller that was riddled with factual errors. Among them was the assertion by Bumiller that Governor Palin "was a member for two years in the 1990s of the Alaska Independence Party." There was no evidence offered to support this statement, and as this campaign pointed out, it is untrue. Now the Times reports:
The information in the Times article was based on a statement issued Monday night by Lynette Clark, the party’s chairwoman, who said that Ms. Palin joined the party in 1994 and in 1996 changed her registration to Republican.
On Tuesday night, Ms. Clark said that her initial statement was incorrect and had been based on erroneous information provided by another member of the party whom she declined to identify.

The Claw Hammer Endorsement
John McCain's White House Campaign Office (R) posted a Blog Post (McCain Report) on September 3, 2008 | 1:00 am - Permalink - Comments (View)ABC reports on an Obama campaign conference call:
[Obama senior adviser Robert Gibbs] also attacked the Alaska governor for her one-time support for the so-called "bridge to nowhere," for employing a lobbying firm to get earmarks for the town of Wasilla, Alaska, and for receiving a vice presidential endorsement from indicted Republican Sen. Ted Stevens.
Governor Palin pulled the plug on the "bridge to nowhere," no one disputes this. What is less well known is that Barack Obama voted in support of the "bridge to nowhere." Still, when Governor Palin joined John McCain on the Republican ticket, before the press resolved to belittle her every achievement and tear apart her family, the Washington Post praised her role in fighting earmarks, battling the abuses of her state's Congressional indi Read More...

Bumiller Writes Her Own Story
John McCain's White House Campaign Office (R) posted a Blog Post (McCain Report) on September 2, 2008 | 1:00 am - Permalink - Comments (View)While the press scrambles to report on the process by which Governor Palin was offered the second spot on the Republican ticket, New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller has opted instead to make up her own version of events. As the AP reports, "Sarah Palin voluntarily told John McCain's campaign about her pregnant teenage daughter and her husband's 2-decade-old DUI arrest during questioning as part of the Republican's vice presidential search, the lawyer who conducted the background review said." Yet according to Bumiller, yesterday's disclosures "called into question" how thoroughly Governor Palin had been vetted. Why the discrepancy? It seems one reporter actually reported the story, while Bumiller made up her own.
The AP quotes Steve Schmidt saying the campaign was prepared to send Read More...
