The Week That Was

The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that we […]

Cutting Off One’s Nose

I have to hand it to Taylor Marsh. She was a Clinton supporter for a long time. She vowed to oppose McCain, but doubted that she could “support” Obama. Today, she took on the Dominique’s among her readership. If anger is going to be the guide for some of Hillary’s supporters, inspiring them to vote […]

Obama is a breath of fresh air, and for those that mock his change message and his ability to make it happen read this. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is moving on two fronts to make transparency a linchpin of his campaign, opening his fundraisers to reporters and clamping down on the Democratic National Committee’s fundraising […]

Joe Biden Smacks Down Lieberman AND McCain

Filed in National by on May 23, 2008 26 Comments

When he’s good, he’s good. Read his WSJ editorial (published today) response to Joe Lieberman’s very public bedwetting from Wednesday. Biden starts: Sen. Lieberman is right: 9/11 was a pivotal moment. History will judge Mr. Bush’s reaction less for the mistakes he made than for the opportunities he squandered. And here is the gist of […]

Update: It’s official.  Edwards endorses Obama. Can we have this end now?  Please? There are rumors swirling indicating that John Edwards is heading to Michigan to endorse Barack Obama at 7PM tonight. I guess this is a good thing, but I really would have preferred him to do this a few weeks ago and save […]

I was. It looks like this thing will finally be over and I can spend a few Tuesdays with my family. Then I went over to Taylor Marsh’s site. Taylor has been very pro-Hillary, so I wanted to see how she took the results last night. She is ready to flip over to Obama, but […]

Unfinished Business

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 6, 2008 14 Comments

When Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, not only were Democrats rejoicing, but Republicans were seething.  This upstart politician, from the backwoods of Arkansas had defeated the President.  Demoralized him.  Made him look like a weakling and a dolt.  Republicans were mad.  There was unfinished business for them and 4 years had been stolen from […]
