Flashback: McCain singled out NYT as credible

Today he's blasting the New York Times, but six years ago John McCain singled the paper out as being a particularly credible source, with its articles worthy of inclusion in the permanent journal of Senate proceedings. The statement came during a deposition in 2002, when his campaign finance law was being challenged. One of the lawyers asked him what sort of standards he used when deciding what articles he would insert in the Congressional Record, which is the official journal of House and Senate floor proceedings. "I think it's important to insert credible media outlets such as The New York Times," McCain said, adding that would also apply to publications such as the ...

When winning the delegates isn't enough

LAS VEGAS - Winning the delegates wasn't enough. Now the Democrats running for president must keep them from straying. The party's arcane system of caucuses and conventions has both campaigns working to keep delegates they had already claimed in Nevada, Iowa, Kansas and elsewhere. At stake: 172 delegates in nine states, enough to shift the balance of the entire race. The Associated Press has awarded 109 of those delegates to Sen. Barack Obama, who has fared well in caucus states. The rest went to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Most years, the complexities of party caucuses don't generate much interest after the campaigns have moved on. But in a nomination contest as close as ...
Mike Huckabee's strategy: Deadlocked convention

In an interview with a San Antonio radio station this morning, Mike Huckabee essentially confirmed the suspicions of many analysts. He's hanging on in the Republican presidential nomination fight hoping to keep John McCain from winning enough delegates to get the nomination on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in September. Huckabee's thinking: With no clear nominee, the conservative wing will move to him, and he might be able to snatch the nomination in a floor fight, he told station WOAI-AM (1200). But it will take an upset win in Texas on March 4 to do that, he said. "If we win Texas, I think it changes the dynamics of this race," Huckabee said. ...

The article included reporting on Mr. McCain’s relationship with a female lobbyist whose clients often had business before the Senate committee led by Mr. McCain. Since publication of the article, The Times has received more than 2,000 comments, many of them criticizing the handling of the article. More than 4,000 questions have been sent via e-mail to The Times on Thursday night and Friday. Editors and reporters who worked on the article are answering some of the questions on Friday.

· Clinton losing support of influential party officials · Polls predict close contests in Texas and Ohio votes Hillary Clinton is starting to lose her overwhelming lead with superdelegates, the Democratic party officials whose votes she is counting on to help her close the gap with Barack Obama. Obama has received a steady flow of new backers in recent days while building a streak of 11 straight primary victories. After once leading Obama by a 2-to-1 ratio in the superdelegate chase, Clinton now has 238 to his 173, according to the latest Associated Press tally. Most unnerving for Clinton is the trickle of superdelegates who have defected from her corner to Obama's. The ...

February 22, 2008, 12:16 pm What Was Clinton Saying? Caucus Readers Interpret By Katharine Q. Seelye Last night’s debate ended with a riveting moment that left many Caucus Readers suspecting that Senator Hillary Clinton was conceding the race. “You know, no matter what happens in this contest, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama,” Mrs. Clinton said, extending her hand toward his, then resting it near him on the table. “I am absolutely honored,” she said again, looking at him, whereupon he took her hand and, with his other hand, reach around her for a quick half embrace. The audience started applauding. “You know, whatever happens, we’re going ...

Dean’s letter about McCain By enviroace | February 22, 2008 It’s like 1989 all over again — John McCain has been caught in yet another ethics scandal. If you had a TV on yesterday, you saw who jumped to his defense — the team of lobbyists who work for him, led by campaign manager and lobbyist Rick Davis, and the well-oiled right-wing noise machine, led by Rush Limbaugh. In an ironic message to McCain supporters yesterday, lobbyist Davis wrote… [John McCain] has led the charge to limit the money and influence of the special interests in politics and stomp out corruption. They spent the day breathlessly assailing the New York Times as “liberal,” ...

Republican Rep. Rick Renzi has been indicted for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other charges related to a land deal in Arizona. A 26-page federal indictment unsealed in Arizona accuses Renzi and two former business partners of conspiring to promote the sale of land that buyers could swap for property owned by the federal government. The sale netted one of Renzi's former partners $4.5 million. Nearly a year ago, as RAW STORY reported, the embattled congressman denied newspaper reports and rumors that he planned on resigning, as the FBI probed. The congressman did relinquish all three of his House committee assignments, including his seat on the House Intelligence ...

For many black Americans, it's a conversation they find hard to avoid, revisiting old fears in the light of bright new hopes. They watch with wonder as Barack Obama moves ever closer to becoming America's first black president. And they ask themselves, their family, their friends: Is he at risk? Will he be safe? There is, of course, no sure answer. But interviews with blacks across the country, prominent and otherwise, suggest that lingering worries are outweighed by enthusiasm and determination.

Sen. John McCain said Friday that while lobbyists serve as close advisers to his presidential campaign, they are honorable and he is not influenced by corruption in the system. McCain, who has styled himself as an enemy of special interests, defended having lobbyists working for his campaign. He is the expected Republican presidential nominee.

WASHINGTON (AP) - One million dollars a day. As Democratic Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton rushed from presidential contest to contest in January, that was how quickly they burned through their money. On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain and Mitt Romney were spending a third as much. To see the difference, all a voter in Iowa or New Hampshire or South Carolina had to do was turn on the television. Of the $30.5 million Obama spent in January, more than $18 million was to place and produce television and radio ads, according to his January report to the Federal Election Commission. For Clinton, who spent a total of $28.5 million in January, $11 million was for ads. ...

The nation's top federal election official told Sen. John McCain yesterday that he cannot immediately withdraw from the presidential public financing system as he had requested, a decision that threatens to dramatically restrict his spending until the general election campaign begins in the fall. The prospect of being financially hamstrung by the very fundraising system he helped create is the latest in a series of bitter challenges for the presumed GOP nominee, who still faces a fractured conservative coalition as he assumes the mantle of party leadership. Yesterday, McCain blasted the New York Times for an article that alleged that he had an inappropriate, romantic relationship ...

The dominant media in this country have out done themselves regarding Barack Obama. As someone who has been monitoring cable news networks and print media closely during this illusion called primaries, I am sick to death of all the attention being placed on Obama's skin color as if that somehow makes him special and deserving of extra accolades. The air waves have been filled with nothing but repetition of "An 'African-American' has a chance to win the White House." I've seen pictures of women with tears rolling down their face and the caption, "I've lived all my life to see an African-American" become our next president." And, what pray tell is ...

Races for state treasurer, the Legislature and Congress could be reshaped by dozens of challenges filed Thursday and aimed at having candidates knocked off the April 22 primary ballot. Roughly 60 ballot challenges were received in Commonwealth Court before the 5 p.m. deadline, and among the targets were two of the four Democrats competing for state treasurer. Dennis Morrison-Wesley and state Rep. Jennifer Mann, D-Lehigh, were accused of lacking at least 100 signatures from five different counties. If they are ruled ineligible, it would narrow the field to John F. Cordisco and Rob McCord, whose campaign manager, John D. Lisko, filed both challenges. A challenge was filed against the ...
