While she hasn’t been especially involved in New York’s political wars, she’s hardly unaware of the issues.
A city resident since shortly after her father’s assassination, she played a [...]

Word has it that Caroline Kennedy is interested in Hillary Clinton’s NY Senate seat when Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State. I was hoping that Bobby, Jr. might be interested in the seat, but apparently he is not:
As a prominent member of the Kennedy clan, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg is the kind of high-profile, historic [...]

Is greater relief at the gas pumps finally in sight? If Gulf Oil CEO Joe Petrowski is correct it could go down to $1.00 a gallon or lower by next year. I for one am hoping he’s right. I just filled my tank up here in rural Maine yesterday paying $1.99 a gallon. A further [...]

Living next to the Canadian border I should be paying more attention to the “political crisis“ going on there right now, but Dem Daily Contibutor Michael J.W. Stickings has a full explanation on his blog, The Reaction and in The Guardian’s Comment is Free section. I highly recommend reading both.

I’ve been lax in blogging since my cross country move to Maine. Settling in here and unpacking has taken up most of my time, but I did not want to let election day pass without chiming in.
Karl Rove has predicted an Electoral blow out for Barack Obama today:

As readers know I am moving to Maine in a few days. The area I am moving to is very rural and on the coast. It’s really beautiful there, but the area is some what remote and in preparing for my move, I have found there are no cell phone towers there and other utilities like [...]

I’m winding down to my last few days before my big cross country move. It’s bad timing given the election, but it’s something I must do. Needlessto say I’m overwhelmed with packing and organizing and finalizing details, so finding time to post is difficult. That said, this arrived a short time ago in my email box [...]
