Support for Hillary Endures

As Howard Wolfson noted this morning support for Hillary Clinton’s candidacy endures with “several members of Congress” releasing a letter today to “other Democrats touting their support for Hillary, saying she is the strongest candidate to have at the top of the ticket in the fall”:
“[W]e are convinced that Hillary Clinton has the vision, skills and […]

Hillary Clinton Takes N.E. Prizes Including NY, MA and NJ

Hillary Clinton has taken the prize in the New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey primaries tonight. 
Clinton also “picked up victories in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee.”

Clinton greeted cheering supporters Tuesday night in New York, which had 232 delegates on offer. “Tonight, we are hearing the voices of people across America,” she said.
Clinton acknowledged that neither she […]

The Latest in Celebrity Endorsements

There was a new round of celebrity endorsements on Monday for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Now I love both of these guys. They are two of my favorite actors and as it is we all know that different candidates appeal to different people. So I guess I’m with Jack on this one.
Skippy has the […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Let me just start by saying, “Ouch!”. The game, last night, was brutal. The New York Giants laid a huge “smackdown” on the New England Patriots. They were thisclose to making history and then “Whoops!”…too bad, so sad…
I was rooting for the Patriots (even though I’m a Denver Broncos fan), but thank […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself.  Today, is Super Bowl Sunday; the day when all the most funny commercials premiere on television!  I can’t wait to watch them.
Oh…oh…oh…and the wardrobe malfunctions!  There’s another reason to watch the Superbowl?
That’s right: The half-time show!
There’s supposed to be a game or something going on, but […]

Clinton Endorsements and a Peek at the Polls

Hillary Clinton received a few endorsements in the last couple of days that I haven’t had a chance to note here.
They include: Grammy-award winning artist, actress and model Mýa Harrison; Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr.; Texas Reps. Solomon Ortiz of Corpus Christi, the dean of the Texas Democratic delegation, and Gene Green of Houston; the […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.
You see, the thing is, the main reason I put together this round-up, these days, is not so much for my own pleasure (narcissist, though I may be), but to give SSG Dizzy (currently serving his third […]

A Positive Vision of 21st Century Democracy

 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 […]

New York Post Endorses Obama As the A.B.C. Candidate

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post has endorsed Barack Obama as the A.B.C. candidate — anybody but Clinton. Mind you they couldn’t find much merit to endorse Obama on, as they took a swipe at Hillary Clinton using those now famous, “let’s not go back to the past” talking points that team Obama and his surrogates have been bandying […]

A Question for Senator Kennedy

Senator Ted Kennedy sent out an email appeal for donations for the Obama campaign today and also has a post on DKos and BarackObama.com about his endorsement of Barack Obama. While I have the utmost respect for Senator Kennedy and consider myself to be (as I have said here before) a life long Kennedy Democrat, I feel […]

McCain: Less Jobs, More War

Once again, the most prescient comments from last night’s coverage of the Republican primary in Florida came from the more conservative analysts, Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough. As it became clear John McCain was going to win, Buchanan and Scarborough had this exchange:
JS: “There is no way conservatives are going to rally and turn out […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

It’s still January and yet, I am sick to death of politics.
Sadly, the primary wars are just like major car wrecks: you can’t help but stop and take a quick peek, no matter how gruesome the carnage may be.
The same can be said for my penchant for watching bad musical movies. And it’s not […]
