Taking Election Organizing To A New, Unused, Level

Posted on January 20th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

Building on Pam Leavey’s post about the Clinton year long organizational effort in Nevada, I know that as an experienced, and older, field general for smaller elections, that today’s organizer is more disciplined, data based and results orientated with real-time data reporting. Here is a tool that I don’t believe is in wide [...]

Huckabee: Part Of The Christian Nationalist Threat

Posted on January 15th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

The story below on Mike Huckabee couldn’t better timed to put the spotlight on a scary topic. It is a worrisome reality that the Christian Nationalist movement is far better funded, organized and active than most Americans wish to admit. Huckabee represents the worse scenario. He’s attractive and well-spoken on camera. He’s easy to like. [...]

Senator Obama: Disavow These Comments and Fire Jackson, Jr.

Posted on January 9th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

For an major Obama official, Jesse Jackson,Jr., to make these racist and sexist remarks, complete with video as shown in Pamela’s post below, is beyond comprehension. If Barrack Obama himself doesn’t disavow this utter trash then he discredits his own campaign and his personal humanity. It is a sign of true fear when a campaign [...]

Markos: Obama Comment Worth 2-3% (Video)

Posted on January 9th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

At DailyKos, Markos posts his own analysis of last nights victory by Hillary Clinton saying in part, “So keep attacking her for bullshit reasons, and you’ll be generating more and more sympathy votes for her. Obama’s “you’re likable enough” was likely worth 2-3 points all by its lonesome self.”
Here’s the condescending moment by Barrack [...]

If the Right Wing Media Back Obama, Who Do They Fear?

Posted on January 8th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

Here’s a simple political reality that has held true for many, many years: If you want to knock down one opponent that you fear, bring in or back a surrogate you [...]

The Sexist Spin Gets Deeper

Posted on January 7th, 2008 by Pamela Leavey

Stuart posted the video below of Hillary Clinton’s tearful moment on the campaign trail in New Hampshire today. I got to say, I am just downright disgusted at the sexist spin over this. Downright disgusted. And what respect I had managed to muster for John Edwards message of late… well, that is down the tubes [...]

Finally, in Fatigue and Frustration, We See The Authentic Hillary

Posted on January 7th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

Hillary Clinton, during a Q&A session after a short speech, was asked, “How do you do it?” She gave an heartfelt response that may have finally revealed the real Hillary Clinton. Some are calling it a ‘weak moment’. I’d call it a great moment of honesty and authenticity. Even if you are a confirmed Hillary-hater, [...]

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

Posted on January 7th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

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 [...]

Romney and The Rest Of The Field

Posted on January 6th, 2008 by Stuart O'Neill

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.
