KVNU's For The People

From CNN.com:

Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, is pregnant and will keep the baby and marry the baby’s father, the Republican vice presidential candidate said Monday.

John McCain was aware of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he chose her mother for his running mate, a top adviser to the Republican presidential candidate said.

The adviser, Doug [...]

This is pretty hilarious. And is it just me, or is he fiddling with his wedding ring toward the end of the clip?

Greetings from exotic Nebraska.

If you, like me, are unsatisfied with your current options in Barack Obama and John McCain, I implore you to consider two candidates who are more qualified than Barack Obama, less tied to George W. Bush than John McCain and more intelligent than SUPERDELL-

America, I invite you to consider Ralph Wiggum and [...]

GOP Considers Delaying Convention.

This might be a smart move for Republicans, given the complete disaster that would come if they are doing their thing in St. Paul and Hurricane Gustav hits and makes any kind of noise in the New Orleans area. The image of Obama and Biden helping people with sandbags and evacuations while [...]

And who accomplished the feat of the week?

Nominate away.

Sarah Palin IS John McCain’s pick for VP. Wow. Wow. Wow.

In the 7 a.m. hour today, the major news outlets are all reporting that it’s been confirmed Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty are NOT John McCain’s VP pick. Speculation has now turned to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

I’m actually very surprised that it’s not Pawlenty or Romney, so I’m curious to see the announcement here in [...]

I was on the phone with Tyler and Mark the other day during the show when I felt a chill, and the sky turned dark and troubled…

Mid-sentence I turned around and managed, just barely, not to run…

Rove has been in town as a Fox News correspondent.  And [...]

August 28, 2008

Immigration in Utah, as well as in the United States, has always been an issue that has evoked intense emotion and debate. Recent increases in the number of immigrants coming to the U.S. have caused the issue to become a top concern for Utahns. [...]

Wow. If Bill Richardson is right, we’re in big trouble.

The Herald Journal — Neighbors applaud citizen’s arrest.

This is one of the best uses of personal gun ownership that I’ve ever seen locally. Mr. Sim did not go to extremes, he simply used the resources he had available to help control an unlawful situation until police could arrive.

For me, someone who does not personally choose [...]

The protests haven’t been nearly as exciting as the media is trying to make them sound (an odd experience that… being there, and then reading the CNN or Fox News rendition later that night on the TeeVee, where it sound much more dramatic than it really was). But there was one that demands immediate [...]

Well, news flash to you hybrid [...]

Delaware Leaders Ponder Possible Senate Vacancy – Roll Call.

We were talking about this before we went on the air yesterday: What happens to Joe Biden’s Senate seat in the event of an Obama win, or a loss?

It turns out that much like Connecticut in 2000, Delaware law allows a senator to run for retention of [...]

This is an interesting analysis of the “bump” that presidential candidates have received in the polls after every convention since 1960. Sometimes the bumps are higher than others, sometimes there’s no bump, or a negative “thump.” This year, however, it’s expected that any bumps McCain and Obama receive will be short lived, especially considering the [...]
