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 [...]

What the Reagan-Flap Really Says about Obama, Clinton, and Edwards

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 [...]

Goldilocks and the Three Candidates

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 [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Excuse the lateness of my blogging.  Mother Nature is kicking my behind and I decided that I needed to just curl up for a few days until the butt-kicking subsided.
I have been ill, but I haven’t been completely out of the loop.  It’s looking a lot like the world is in free-fall, financially, and the [...]

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 [...]

Nevada Caucus Concerns

There’s a few stories circulating about the Nevada caucuses that are of interest today. On The Fix, Chris Cillizza noted that Obama aide David Plouffe called him today and said Hillary Clinton “should be considered the “prohibitive favorite” in Nevada due to her strong support within the state party establishment and her large lead in [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Wow! Hillary pulled out a win in New Hampshire with Obama kinda breathing down her neck. I’m no fan of McCain’s, but I must admit to being relieved that Huckabee wasn’t “the man”, in this round. I hear Romney was jus’ a lil’ upset that his BFFs in NH didn’t make sure [...]

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? [...]
