Na Prática a Teoria é Outra
http://napraticaateoriaeoutra.wordpress.comservador que no fundo ainda é Republicano, apesar de apoiar o Obama, está reagindo a tudo isto, continuo fiel ao Andrew Sullivan que resumiu tudo quando disse que a campanha parece ter sido tirada de um episódio de South Park. Bem mais liberal, e mais do meu gosto, The Plank blog escrito por jornalistas da New Republic (que se não me engano foi editada por Sullivan um tempo atrás). Estes são claramente pró-Obama, mas sabem ser críticos. E finalmente, o que eu mais gosto, o Balloon Juice o mais liberal, crítico, desbocado e descarado dos b

On to McCain -- Let the record show...
http://the-reaction.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-to-mccain-let-re...To put it bluntly, Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton. Nor does she have the vision and brilliance of Barack Obama. This is an incredible insult to most American women. Just how stupid does he think we are? 2) From on the ground -- "Dispatch From Alaska: Palin? Really?" is by Charles Wohlforth, a lifelong Alaska Democrat and occasional TNR contributor, gives us the word on Palin from up north.
