The Dem Debate: Ouch… Elbows Flying

Obama and Clinton went at it in the debate tonight. There were elbows flying and I think there may have been some knee-capping. I had missed the beginning of the debate, but saw the clip below for the first time during the break. I’ve watched the clip again and read the transcript a couple of [...]

Hillary Talks Economy

As an only parent with a struggling small business I’m one of those Americans who’s worried about the economy. In truth, I’ve had concerns about the economy for years now. I’ve watched small businesses like my own struggling under the Bush administration for years and now, the sh*t has truly hit the fan.
I felt that [...]

The Survivor, The Meteor, and the Champion

They all can win in the general election; therefore, the question is which will be best for our nation?  Consider:
The Survivor: Hilary Clinton has a record of change.  She also has a record of failure, a record of compromise, and a record of working with corporatists who have corrupted our system and turned it against [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Wednesday? Wednesday! Yes! We are so close to the weekend now, I can almost taste it!
Did you guys catch the Democratic debate in Nevada, last night? I missed it, but I wonder, did it look anything like this: ダンボールの攻防: Attack and Defense?
My big news involves yours truly, my chosen political party, a podium, and a [...]

Thoughts on the Democratic ‘Unity’ Debate

My first thought on tonight’s debate is that all of our candidates were great. The format being more of a round-table worked very well after the rough and tumble bitter infighting that has plagued our front-runners in recent days.
Barack Obama admitted that he, ““not only in hindsight, but going forward,” regretted that members of his staff had [...]

Judge to MSNBC - Let Dennis Debate

You got to love Dennis Kucinich for his drive to stay in the race:
A judge in Nevada has just ordered MSNBC to include Rep. Dennis Kucinich in Tuesday’s Democratic Party presidential debate in Las Vegas or he will cancel the forum.
Senior Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson vowed to issue an injunction halting the [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I have a long day ahead of me (it’s a work night) and a lot of things to take care of, today, so let’s just jump in, shall we?
(I do have a lot on my mind, so if you are curious, please feel free to stop by my personal blog I’m Jus’ A Lil’ Dizzy)
Oh, [...]

Hillary and Bill Missed The Key Question on Change and ‘The Agents for The Status Quo’

Experience isn’t a bad word and being experienced doesn’t automatically make a candidate a captive of the ’status quo’. The one most telling question that Hillary Clinton and Bill Richardson missed interjecting into the last debate would have been to aggressively challenge either John Edwards or Barrack Obama to identify, specifically, who on that stage [...]

It’s Our Democracy, Stupid

 
Why the Progressive Movement Needs to Unite Behind John Edwards
By Hank Edson
At the end of last summer, I proposed in two sequential opinion pieces that perhaps John Edwards was the man progressives should rally around in order to have the most beneficial impact on our direction as a nation. (See Edwards, Does He Mean It? [...]

Romney and The Rest Of The Field

From Political Wire:
Jonathan Martin: “For months, there has been an open secret among insiders working in or covering the 2008 Republican campaign: The rival candidates despise Mitt Romney. After Saturday night in New Hampshire, it’s no longer a secret.”
Sure looked that way to me.

Obama’s Gotcha Moment at the Debate

Could this be the view of what a Barack Obama adminstration might look like when it comes to National Security and Foreign Policy? Or could the exchange below between Obama and Clinton backfire and leave Obama out in the cold if Hillary takes the prize? 
Here’s a transcript of the exchange from Greg Sargent at TPM’s Election Central:
