The Biden Bounce

By April Coggins | 08/27/08

Since Obama announced Joe Biden as his running mate last Friday, McCain has gained in the polls. The latest Gallop poll has McCain at 46% to 44% for Obama. This is with the Dems in convention!

Look for expanded homosexual rights.3. Pelosi is toast.

MSNBC's... read more »

Figures Don't Lie, BUT Liars Figure

By April Coggins | 08/25/08

Christine Gregoire continues to campaign around the state making the claim that she inherited a $2.5 billion dollar deficit and has turned it around to a $800 million dollar surplus. I understand that she was on KQQQ just this morning telling the same nonsense. Who does she think she is kidding when there is so much information to the contrary? Gregoire must be gambling that we are such hicks in Eastern Washington that we won't be able to make... read more »
