Edwards Launches Website Targeting Clinton With Petition Drive

John Edwards is apparently out to kill two birds with one stone, with his new website that is aimed at Hillary Clinton while seeking to gather one million e-mail address and zip codes: 

The email addresses and zip codes would be “handy data for campaign micro-targeters to have when they go to turn out voters this primary season.” 
The […]

Rudy’s Babe Bills Get Exposed

Politico has uncovered documents via New York’s Freedom of Information Law that show that while he was mayor of New Your City, Rudy Giuliani “billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the […]

Contender Chris Dodd Has Bankruptcy Reform On The Front Burner

Senator Chris Dodd has a comprehensive and timely proposal for Bankruptcy Reform. As we all know the last ‘reform’ was a disaster for the average family in trouble. Now with the housing downturn the last ‘reform’ is a financial death knell for most families.
From the proposal itself: Unfortunately, today’s bankruptcy laws—recently re-written by the credit […]

The Hill.com Has Comprehesive Iowa Story on Biden and field

The Hill, one of the best daily reads you can find, has a comprehensive story about the Iowa campaigns. Built around the Biden strategy of a ‘textbook’ one-living-room-at-a-time approach, the story also gives us details of endorsements for all the candidates and a look at the unusual dynamics at play in Iowa.
“…the Biden campaign is […]

It’s The Economy, Stupid!

I’m posting two pieces from the news for the political component of the economic story, and not just because I enjoy spreading around bad news:

Sales of existing homes fell for the eighth consecutive month in October, with median home prices falling by a record amount. Analysts blamed the […]

Say What? Democrats’ Health Plans Echo Nixon’s Failed GOP Proposal

Just when you thought that Nixon was the 2nd worse president in history (Bush now being the worse, atleast in my book), we are reminded that Nixon actually called for universal access to health insurance in 1974. And… low and behold, McClatchy reports that the Dems proposal look a lot like Nixon’s. Suck on that for a […]

Let’s Even The Campaign Field

Darrell, in a comment to a previous post that referenced Joe Biden, assumed that I chosen a candidate here at DemDaily. While I have not chosen any candidate, or offered to use my 40 years experience in the political world, I have made a choice to help level the playing field for two of the […]

George W. Bush’s Convenient Truth

 The man whom the people elected in 2000 to be president was in the temporary residence of the man whom the Supreme Court anointed.
President George W. Bush hosted former Vice-President Al Gore, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and five other Nobel laureates, Nov. 26. This annual handshake photo-op has been an American tradition.
The Nobel […]

Clinton Scores Streisand Endorsement

I think this was given, given her support for Bill Clinton: Barbra Steisand, “legendary filmmaker, artist, and Democratic activist,” endorsed Hillary Clinton for President on Tuesday.
Streisand cited Clinton’s ability to bring about change and the historic nature of her campaign as reasons why she is supporting Hillary’s candidacy. 
“Madame President of the United States…it’s an extraordinary thought. […]

Ten Post Round-Up: Positive Vibration Wednesday

It’s Wednesday, yo! I’m sure that about three or four of you *wink* noticed that I did not post a positive round-up, yesterday (my Firefox browser updated itself, but didn’t update my add-ons which included an excellent html editor in which I transformed my posts into web worthy postings. Now, I have to […]
