Resolving the issue of the votes in Michigan and Florida is fast becoming an essential ingredient to winning in November. Enforcing the “rules” as they currently stand could help assure another “inconvenient” loss for the Democrats.
Since the May 31st meeting of the Rules and Bylaws Committee is looming, I urge everyone to write and/or e-mail [...]

The media is telling her to get out of the race . . . yet she is running a great campaign and one of the closest races in history. The party bosses are telling her to get out of the race . . . that she, single handedly, is destroying the unity of the Democratic Party, [...]

Maybe everybody be me knows this already: As I was researching superdelegates to write them letters to vote for Hillary, I was surprised to learn that the Democratic leader of the Florida senate proposed a primary date which was within the DNC rules, but the Republican majority in the Florida senate turned it down and [...]

Discernment is the quality of being able to grasp what is obsure; the power to see what is not evident to the average mind; the act of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment; the keenness and accuracy of mental vision; the capacity of tracing out minute distinctions.
Certainly this is one of the most important qualities of a [...]

Every now and then, I tune in to Spiegel Online to see what the europeans think of us and our election process. I especially enjoy articles by Gabor Steingart, Speigel’s editor of West Wing: The Battle for the White House. Steingart believes the US electorate apparently suffers from multiple personality disorder. First we want everything, [...]

I had the opportunity to have breakfast with Hillary yesterday at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco . . . together with about 400 other Hillary supporters and volunteers. We were fortunate to have her here in San Francisco when we know her work right now is in Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina . . [...]

Richard M. Scaife, owner of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, who has often criticized Hillary and her campaign, takes a second look after an intensive 90 minute interview which the NY Times reported on here.
If you’re still not sure that Hillary will be the next president of the United States, take a look at this piece in U.S. [...]

Has anyone noticed that Hillary is thriving?
One certainly wouldn’t get this impression from the mainstream media or the progressive blogosphere. It’s the usual Hillary bashing magnified. Now they hold her singularly responsible for deconstructing the democratic party. Why doesn’t she just drop out and get it over with?
Well, the answer is clear to me. She’s [...]

Today’s New York Times contained an Op Ed article by Orlando Patterson, a professor of sociology at Harvard and author of several books on race in America. The article was about the 3 a.m. ad and the Clinton Campaign. I was stunned by this article. It literally took my breath away. I was especially stunned [...]

During the last debate, Hillary mentioned the “Sea Change” that would occur with a woman president. She didn’t elaborate . . . not wanting to ignite the political gender hot potato . . . but she did talk of a change in everything from the people who are selected for leadership to little girls knowing [...]

If you missed this interview, it is a must view. The questions are clear and concise, and Hillary matches them with her own clarity and wit.

I watched the debate last night between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It was clearly the best debate between the two of them—— interesting and substantive.
Hillary Clinton was the stronger debater. She clearly showed that she is “a fighter” and that she has command of the issues. She demonstrated her foreign policy knowledge, and she [...]
