If you're feeling a little rogue, get ready for more Mama Grizzly than you can stand because Sarah Palin is coming to multiple screens near you! As frustrated and conflicted Republicans are trying to choose a standard bearer to challenge President Obama, is it any coincidence that Palin's PAC has announced the re-release [...]
No, not earwigs. Or ear worms.Earmarks.Senator John McCain is really rattling the cage this week about "earmarks" -- those special requests in the federal budget that allow lawmakers to get a few hundreds of thousands, or millions, of dollars here or there for pet projects they claim their constituents need. McCain says he is SOOO [...]
Could John McCain be any more out of touch with what women want? If he is President, it won't be pretty ladies, no matter what your party affiliation.
And how did John McCain really feel about the 2012 " goin'" rogue bit? And Cindy McCain does a great Carol Merrill impression, doesn't she?
At first, I thought it was a little odd that John McCain would stick his toe in the waters of the corruption trial of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. But shortly after the jury announced they had found Stevens guilty of seven counts of ethics violations related to unreported favors to Stevens and his family, McCain [...]
It's probably an understatement to say that so many of us have begun the belt-tightening process since the stock market and the banking industry both imploded a few weeks ago.I feel nervous pretty much every day, even though I think our family is in relatively good shape financially as long as nothing unexpected happens. The [...]
As a long time political nerd, I've seen and heard a lot of things over the years. But I'm a little confused about why John McCain and Sarah Palin think we should be taking a political science primer from a plumber wanna-be. I have a political science degree, so I can probably exempt myself from [...]

As the mother of a daughter, there are things I want for my eight-year-old PunditGirl, especially when she becomes a woman -- things that I was lucky to have, but that generations before me didn't. Interestingly, John McCain, as the father of daughters, doesn't seem to want those same things.Since we are both parents of [...]

I was chatting with a news reporter from another country who lives in our general neighborhood yesterday about the the Sarah Palin phenomenon -- why she's getting so much coverage, can you compare her to Hillary Clinton, (NO!) and whether working moms would support Palin.We were heading off to pick up children when she casually [...]
After getting up at the crack of dawn today, I saw the headlines about Lehman, Merrill Lynch and AIG. Of course, we had a feeling news was coming of an economic meltdown after what happened with Fannie and Freddie, as well as Bear Stearns.But when I heard this statement from John McCain, I had to [...]
Joy Behar of The View is no shrinking violet. That's one reason I like her. I'm not a big fan of The View, but I enjoy when she appears on Larry King, she tells it like it is and I like that in anyone talking about politics!Now, I really think Joy should be getting in [...]
Huffington Post political editor Hilary Rosen thinks it's time we back off of Sarah Palin and her motherhood.In a commentary at CNN today, she says:I am a woman who someone took a chance on several years ago when they gave me a job that had only previously been done by old white guys. Experience? How [...]
Needless to say, there have been a LOT of blog posts and articles flying around the blogosphere since Friday when John McCain announced that his choice for vice-president is Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. While I hadn't posted about it, I had been saying privately for months that I thought McCain would choose Palin as his [...]
We've all had a chuckle over Paris Hilton's shot across the bow at John McCain's use of her image in his campaign ad, myself included. But as I've thought about it, I think her video is more than just a 'touche' moment that should be relegated to the level of Jib-Jab election entertainment.See more Paris [...]
Miss Buffalo Chip? 'Nuf said.
Most people who know me realize that, notwithstanding my recent crisis of political faith, I will not be voting for John McCain in November. But as an adoptive mother I have a soft spot in my heart for the McCain family since they are an adoptive family, too.That soft spot hardened up a bit when [...]
I thought it was pretty clear cut in eighth grade civics class -- to be President of the United States, you have to born in one of the 50 states. Period. A "natural born citizen."Friends have often commented that PunditGirl, being the opinionated daughter that she is (you're REALLY surprised, right?!), should run for President [...]
