Will she or won’t she?

Filed in National by on June 3, 2008 8 Comments

What will Hillary say tonight? On the one hand signs are pointing to her acknowledging Obama as the nominee. On the other hand… Okay, I’ll admit I’m starting to get a bad feeling about tonight. What I don’t understand is what possible option she has left? And by option I mean one that wouldn’t rip […]

This is worth another look

Filed in National by on June 2, 2008 3 Comments

I’d forgotten about this article written by Frank Rich in December 2007. Interesting and prophetic. Well, maybe not when it came to the Republican nominee, but otherwise, Rich nails it.

Will California lead the way?

Filed in National by on May 23, 2008 251 Comments

The Field has learned that Cardoza is the first of a group of at least 40 Clinton delegates, many of them from California, that through talking among themselves came to a joint decision that all of them would vote for Obama at the convention. They have informed Senator Clinton that it’s time to unite around […]

I want to have Chuck Hagel’s baby

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 21, 2008 9 Comments

Okay, I really don’t want to have his baby, but now that I have your attention… I’ve always liked Hagel. He’s the real “straight talker” of the Republican party. And before conservatives try and link my praise to my support for Obama let me point out that I’ve admired Hagel for quite some time. Hagel, […]

Umm… Isn’t there a Primary tomorrow?

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 19, 2008 57 Comments

As I surf the net, admittedly more than I should, one thing stands out. Where are all the articles on the upcoming Kentucky and Oregon primaries? I’m not saying that blogs like Taylor Marsh and Hillaryis44 are giving an inch, but Jerome over at mydd seems to have accepted that Obama is the nominee and […]

Obama crowd in Oregon size of a small city

75,000 is a really big number. No wonder Republicans are nervous. Hope this post makes everyone’s night. I know I’m fired up and ready to go… make more calls for Obama!

I have new respect for Chris Matthews

If you missed Hardball tonight you have got to watch this clip! I have dreamed of this moment. It was so sweet I was actually applauding at the end.

The 527s are coming! The 527s are coming!

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 14, 2008 8 Comments

Republican 527 groups are promising a vicious attack on Barack Obama, and all I can think to say is… How’s that working for ya? The Promise: “We will attack Obama viciously on all fair issues, whether they are national security, whether they are taxes or the economy,” promised Chris LaCivita, one of the Republican strategists […]

I am NOT watching TV tonight & Prediction Thread

Filed in National by on May 13, 2008 18 Comments

Not because Hillary is going to win West Virginia – she was always going to win WV – but because I cannot watch Clinton surrogates try and spin new life into her campaign. So here’s my question… What will the talking heads be spewing after the race is called for Hillary (about one second after […]

Which Party is Over?

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 11, 2008 22 Comments

The Republican party is in deep trouble. In races all over the country seats which were once firmly ensconced in the Republican column are now up for grabs. Fewer and fewer people are describing – or admitting – themselves as Republicans, and the hope that McCain will win over Independents is slipping away. Okay, McCain […]

Okay… he didn’t exactly call McCain senile but, damn, this was good. Be sure to watch the video. It’s so sweet! The gloves are off.

Brace Yourself. WV and KY are about to join the list of states that “matter”

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 8, 2008 8 Comments

I’m warning you to brace yourself because I fear we’re heading into the “blue-collared, white male” argument again. Nevermind that Hillary was always going to win these states, and even though Obama may make strides in Kentucky I fully expect HRC to paint herself as the candidate who overcame insurmountable odds to pull off these […]
