The Right-Wing Tools are out for Halloween

Click here to listen to today's Halloween edition of Radio or Not--but be afraid, be very afraid! (runtime 35:30)And I guess I was one too, as I dressed as the scariest character I could think of today!At least I realized who'd make the best president! Anyway, in my role as the contributor from the left on the 850 WFTL Morning Show, I truly got a workout today. I got hit from right field in the first few minutes of the show, when we were joined by Randall Terry. If the name sounds familiar, it's because he was the spokesman for [...]

I voted, but missed another Obama rally!

Click here to listen to today's Radio or Not (runtime 43:03)I did get to vote yesterday! And it felt great to fill in that little bubble for Obama/Biden and put it through the optical scanner. Unfortunately here in Florida, though we now officialy have a paper trail, there's no mechanism on these machines to verify that they read your ballot correctly. And, given the track record, I have a hard time just trusting the technology.I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens Tuesday night when the results start pouring in. When I interviewed John Kerry last week [...]

Obama TV

Did you get to watch the 30 minute Obama infomercial last night? I must admit, I was a bit worried about this move by the campaign, thinking it might either be- or be perceived as overly ambitious and presumptuous, but I was completely impressed by the show in every aspect.If you missed it, set aside 30 minutes and watch it now. And send it to your friends too...

Dress Like Sarah Palin!

It's an interesting little game. Click here to play. What's truly amazing is that Cindy McCain's convention outfit cost $300,000. More than double what was spent for Sarah's wardrobe. Somehow, that little fact is never mentioned.

Contentious Congressional Campaigns and Joe Lieberman too!

Click here to listen to today's episode of Radio or Not (runtime 37:33)As I wrote earlier, it was a busy morning on 850 WFTL! So, it's a busy episode of the Radio or Not podcast too...It starts with the interview Russ Morley and I conducted with former Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez, who's challenging incumbent Republican Lincoln Diaz-Balart for his seat in the US House of Representatives from Florida's 21st District. The eyes of the nation are on this race, as it's polling about 1 point apart, and it's also one of the nastiest contests being fought this year.The Martinez interview [...]

I'll include both interviews in today's podcast, along with the interview we just conducted with Sen. Joe Lieberman.I did ask Lieberman who he'll be caucusing with come Jan. 21, but he really didn't answer the question....Also coming up this busy morning, Michigan Governor Jennier Granholm, at around 8:25...

And the hits just keep on coming….

It's 6:49 am, and I'm working on the 850 WFTL Morning Show. Now, I knew when I accepted this position that I'd be on the defense here, as this is an unabashed right-wing radio station. This morning, the show's host Russ Morley asked the question, "What issue do you think has been blown out of proportion in this campaign?" and some doltish caller said something to the effect of "there's something that hasn't been covered enough, and that's the fact that Obama's birth certificate is a fake!"So, I pulled up this final word from factcheck.org... but the caller didn't want [...]

Caroline Kennedy and Jason Alexander for Obama

It was a busy morning on WFTL today, as we had the opportunity to speak with both Caroline Kennedy and Jason Alexander! I'll include both of those interviews in today's podcast, which I'll upload sometime this afternoon.Yesterday I took Alison to a Kids for Obama rally in Coral Gables, followed by a stop at "VoteFest '08" in North Miami Beach.
