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 each of the members of this committee in the next few days. This is about the core values of the democratic party. Here’s...

Why aren’t we outraged?
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, a party that is supposed to stand for democracy. Since when was the Democratic Party unified? Certainly not in my lifetime. The media has called...
Florida mess caused by Republicans
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 instead the measure included the January 29th date which violated the rules. The issue of the primary date was embedded within a measure about...
Discernment: Which Candidate has it and why is it important?
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 president. Hillary has it. Barack does not. It comes from experience. The errors of youth often proceed from the want of discernment. People say...
Why Americans Never Vote for What They Really Want
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, and then we want precisely the opposite. This makes things hard for the pollsters and the candidates. Learn about our disorders by tuning in...
She’s “Havin a Good Time!”
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 . . .I’m here to report that Hillary is definitely “havin a good time!” Listening to her talk in earnest about her campaign, we were, alternately,...
Hillary, Reassessed
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. News and World Report. Sphere: Related Content
Has Anyone Noticed?
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 not going to drop out because she is on target to win Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia and North Carolina. She’s not going...
