Make no mistake about it… Hillary Clinton is still “in to win.”
She told supporters tonight in Charleston, West Virginia: “I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign. I am in this race because I believe I am the strongest candidate. … I can lead this party to victory in the general election if […]

If you haven’t read Elizabeth Edwards OP/ED in the NY Times on the media’s role in this election cycle it’s a must read: Bowling 1, Health Care 0. I highly agree with Edwards’ closing paragraph:
If voters want a vibrant, vigorous press, apparently we will have to demand it. Not by screaming out our windows as […]

Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza.
There will be a news blackout in this house (as always) until after 10pm. I can’t stand play-by-plays, so watching the talking heads […]

Just for fun, another meaningless exercise on another routine Saturday morning. CNN runs a web site which holds itself out as a place where 2008 Presidential Primary results can be found in a variety of formats. I’m sure that inquiring minds want to know, so I simply applied my calculator to what I found there […]

Does a younger population that wants to feel like they live in a young country elect an old warhawk for their leader? It would be bad enough in 2008 if McCain would not be the oldest President ever, but for him to promise to continue an experience of military adventurism that is unpopular in the […]

We need to be as ambitious in envisioning political process integrity as John Edwards has been honest in talking about political process corruption.
For supporters of John Edwards, the end of his 2008 campaign for the presidency should not be spent in either deep gloom or false bravado. The future of the cause Edwards champions remains […]

The most disturbing aspect of the sorry spectacle of President Bush’s last State Of The Union Address —his airbrushed rendering of his Mideast misadventure. Where it concerned the situation in Iraq the president’s address wasn’t any realistic accounting of the state of affairs. It was a delusional display of false premises and distorted fantasy.

The recent flap over Barack Obama’s comments on Ronald Reagan speaks volumes about what distinguishes our three democratic presidential candidates. But what it says is not complementary to either Obama or Clinton. Instead, once again, it shows us that John Edwards is the real candidate all Democrats should support.
Obama’s Intent
When Obama described Reagan’s Republican Party […]

I feel like I woke up this morning and found boundary lines painted all over the surface of the planet, making it look like a Globe from space. But what if the entire Earth was inhabited by only one species of humans?
Or let’s put it another way. It was presumably okay when all of the […]

Never one to do anything half-way, I am preparing to work for the next three days and still feeling like Mother Nature does not like me very much. But, the show must go on, as they say.
It kind of reminds me of what my grandmother used to tell me when I was young, “If […]

It was primary day in the forest and so Goldilocks told her mother she was going to go vote. Goldilocks was a democrat and she was terrified at the terrible condition of her country. Her vote today mattered a great deal to both her and her country.
She left her home and went down the path […]
