Bill rides into save the day?

If Hillary Clinton’s chances haven’t been shot to hell already, Bill just put the final nail in the coffin.  Not only is his timing incredibly horrible.  He says 60 year olds sometimes forget when they’re tired?  Ouch.   I don’t want an “old and tired” president misspeaking at 3 am. 
Again, it seems they’re not on the same page.  [...]

Leave Gore Alone!

It is completely inane to expect Al Gore to endorse either of the presidential candidates.  He is not God.  Hello! Winning a noble peace prize does not make you some sort of all powerful clairvoyant omnipotent untarnished holy person whose word is sancrosanct.  Clearly, Texas and Ohio missed the memo from the media that Obama ought [...]

Guess who’s Back . . .

Seems like Obama might be getting whooped tonight.  Figured as much.  Democrats are unruly and ungovernable.  We don’t like people telling us what to do.  The media tried to tell us the nomination was wrapped up.  Well, it’s not now.  We rebelled.  This run is not exciting.  Not anymore.  It’s dividing the party.  Obama tried [...]

Oh Hillary there you go again.

I don’t know if it’s because my mind seems to be foggy because I’m coming down with the flu (again!) or if Hillary has actually gone off the deep end.  The footage I’ve seen of her patronizing Barack Obama in Ohio struck a chord.  This chord is calibrated to pick up to pick up condescending [...]

What’s new Hillary?

Has anyone noticed Hillary Clinton’s website face lift? When did she change this? It looks like she’s lifted Obama’s website template.
I guess if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em.

Blue, Red, or Purple?

Look at the totals of people voting in elections. In most of the elections, open and closed, the total number voting in the Democratic primary is higher than the total number voting in the Republican primary. Which color is that state going to be in the fall?
I would like to venture a guess, it’s [...]

Converations over Hookah with the NAACP

Dear NAACP,
Why are you requesting that Michigan and Florida have delegates seated at the convention? Now, some media folks are trying to construe that as a de facto endorsement of Hillary Clinton. If I am correct, the NAACP does not traditionally endorse a candidate. Being that I just heard about this I [...]

Chesapeake/Potomac Primary

So, it seems Obama is sweeping again. Ah, the smell of success. I never knew it was so sweet to win.
Now, looking at numbers it seems that Obama’s campaign knows how to learn and learns quickly. He is splitting the white vote, he is winning the >$50,000 income voters, he is winning [...]

Politico is Fabo.

First, Ben Smith’s blog on Politico.com is fabulous.  The comments are even more fabulous.  I would like to direct your eyes to an even more interesting place – the posts by Rafael.  I think she has some pretty good empirical evidence for why one ought to not vote for Billary.
And, it’s great solidarity in the [...]

CNN, MSNBC, or Fox?

 
When I departed my friend’s house endowed with cable at 3:30 am, I left knowing California was leaning towards Clinton with 53% to Obama’s 39% with 54% of precincts reporting. I had been watching a steady climb from a lowly 32% on Obama’s side while Clinton held steady at 53%. Interestingly enough my [...]
