A new poll from Quinnipiac University shows Barack Obama has a huge lead over John McCain in Connecticut, “topping the Republican among every sub-group except Republican voters.” This is what we like to hear…
Sen. Obama leads Sen. McCain 86 - 9 percent among Democrats and 52 - 36 percent among independent voters, while trailing 79 […]

Today the US Supreme Court struck down the Washington DC ban on handguns. While not necessarily impacting any other law or regulation, it was the first time in the history of the United States that the Court had handed down an opinion directly on the 2nd Amendment.
The decision was 5-4 with Justice John Paul Stevens […]

George W. Bush is doing an about face on a longstanding position on offshore drilling, and is calling on Congress today “to end a federal ban on offshore oil drilling, according to White House officials who say Mr. Bush now wants to work with states to determine where drilling should occur.”
The NY Times reports that the “move underscores how $4-a-gallon […]

I had a thought tonight about the threats to support John McCain from angry Clinton supporters.
As a Clinton supporter and a feminist I find a certain kind of irony in the fact that Clinton supporters are complaining about the sexism that Hillary weathered during her campaign but they are willing to support a candidate who called his wife […]

By our now readers all know that Hillary Clinton will officially end her campaign and support Barack Obama. It’s tough for many Clinton supporters to assimilate this news and yet, there’s so much work to be done and Hillary Clinton understands that.
The stakes are high dear friends and readers and this election has always been […]

Big Tent Democrat asks today with the video below posted, “What Is Going On At Trinity Church?” BTD also clarifies that he feels this “has nothing to do with Barack Obama.” I tend to disagree. This is after all the church that Obama has been associated with for the past 20 years.

It’s a simple question for you - the members of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, who’ll be deciding on the future of our party on Saturday.
Folks are talking about the tough decision you’ll have to make in DC on Saturday.
They say you might seat half the delegates from Florida and Michigan, thereby cutting the […]

Word has it today that Barack Obama “has begun a top-secret search for a running mate.”
Although Obama would not acknowledge the search is on, Democratic officials speaking on the condition of anonymity say that “Obama has asked former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson to begin vetting potential vice presidential picks.” Johnson vetted VP candidates for […]

Hillary Clinton is not backing down on seating the Florida and Michigan delegates with out a fight, she says. Clinton said today that “she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far.”
In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was […]

Late last night I watched the video below about Clinton supporters who plan to actively campaign against Barack Obama as the nominee, and vote for John McCain:

Color me perplexed as to the reasoning from these women… One of their primary reasons is the sexism that Clinton has weathered during the campaign. But why on Earth, […]

The Senate sent a clear message to George W today about stockpiling oil at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In a clear rebuke, by a 97 to 1, veto proof vote, the Senate voted to “halt deliveries to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve over President Bush’s objections.”
The House is expected to follow suit later today.
The action, supported […]
