DCRepublican.com takes on the Twin Cities. Across the US, DC Life, Party Politics |
After a scenic drive through the great state of Wisconsin, I've finally made it to the Twin Cities area. I'm cheap, so instead of staying right in the city, I'm just a few minutes outside of St. Paul in lovely Eagan, MN (which also happens to be the home of Governor Tim Pawlenty). Even though I've only been here a few hours, I've been quite impressed with everything that I've seen so far. From my visit to the Convention Headquarters, to the Minneapolis Convention Center, to the Xcel Energy Arena, everything seems to be working smoothly. As expected, the protesters are in ...

Logic or Instinct: Romney, Palin or Pickled Herring? Campaign '08 |
So the VP vigil continues. Though Senator McCain has stated that he will announce his pick at 11 AM on Friday, rumors have been spreading that the choice could be leaked on Thursday evening during Zeus Obama’s historic and messiah like speech. The latest buzz seems to indicate that Mitt Romney is not going to be the choice.

Three new polls have come out with samples from AUG 23-25. This time frame allows for the selection of Biden to sink in with the public and the Biden Effect has been thus far: Gallup: McCain 46% Obama 44% Rasmussen: McCain 46% Obama 46% CNN: McCain 47% Obama 47% Based on the numbers it appears that Biden is a null factor.

As such, his biggest impact is on those who most likely have made a ...
