Pr..Prrrr…Presssss…President Barack Obama
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Congratulations to Barack Obama and his supporters. As a fan of politics, he really pulled off an incredible upset. This was Hillary Clinton’s year and everyone knew assumed it. We know what happens when we do that.
As an American, it is of course, an historic moment. It says so much about [...]
In the spirit of bipartisanship on Election Day
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008I thought I would highlight the one issue from this long campaign on which Barack, Michelle and I completely agree.
If only this were true
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Local writer and blogger D.R. Tucker
Monday, November 3rd, 2008I’ve admired his writing about politics for a long time and it was great to finally welcome D.R. Tucker to Pundit Review Radio. We talked about the loss of Dean Barnett, the missed opportunities of the McCain campaign as well as the final days of the presidential campaign.

Mr. & Mrs. Redistribution
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Ever wonder what Barack Obama sounds like naked?
Monday, October 27th, 2008A 2001 radio interview from Chicago has been unearthed. In it, Barack Obama, Mr. Middle Class Tax Cut, calls the lack of “redistributive change” a “tragedy”.
This may be the best example yet of the real Barack Obama, because you can listen for yourself. This is a guy who is not running [...]
Going from offense to fetal position on national security
Friday, October 24th, 2008Vote Democrat: We promise higher taxes and weaker national defense!
Is that a bumper sticker or what? Apparently, the 2008 Democratic Party is working on some secret, bizarre plot to rehabilitate Jimmy Carter. They seem to be determined to make Carter appear to be a leader of Napoleonic proportions.
Our own Barney Frank [...]
Forget the Bradley effect, what about the Byner effect?
Friday, October 24th, 2008Much talk in recent weeks about the so-called Bradley effect.
The Bradley effect is named after former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American who ran for California governor in 1982. Exit polls showed Bradley leading by a wide margin, and the Democrat thought it would be an early election night.
