The Healing Begins Today

Filed in National by on June 7, 2008 36 Comments

Today Hillary Clinton will give the speech of her lifetime. I have no doubt she will fully and enthusiastically endorse Barack Obama and that she will demand the same of her supporters. Any attacks she makes will be directed at John McCain, any slight will be against the Republican Party. The primary is over… … […]

ABC News is reporting that Hillary will suspend her campaign and endorse Obama on Saturday. Let the healing begin. The primary was tough, but remember it was a family fight, and in the end families stick together.

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 […]

Will California lead the way?

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 […]

Holy cow. My brother is on today. He sent me the link earlier and I got so engrossed, I forgot to click on the other link. Whatever you do today, you must read this blog post today. My only regret is that Donviti didn’t do it.

Hillary Post-Mortem

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 8, 2008 3 Comments

Time has a piece up about the 5 mistakes that Hillary made that cost her the nomination. It is a pretty good list. I think the weak point of the article is that Axelrod was one of the main sources. Anyone else have mistakes that she made? I think it would also be fair to […]

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 […]

Feeling Happy Today?

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 […]

Hillary camp threatens nuclear option

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 5, 2008 39 Comments

Okay, a part of me dismissed this threat as bluster, and I ignored it yesterday. But then, today, the Clinton campaign added fuel to the fire… “There is no secret plan…. The Clinton campaign has been vocal in stating that the votes of 2.5 million people must be respected. Hardly a day goes by when […]

Comment Rescue: Truth Teller Loves Him Some Pandering

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 4, 2008 19 Comments

One of our new commenters, Truth Teller, had a gem in the Hillary-pandering post a few days ago. I noticed that Obama knocked her plan but failed to tell us what his plan. Another great speech but no solutions I love how Truthy wants us to believe that Hillary is all making a proposal that […]

Gen-Irrational Gap

My family, like many families, has split along generational lines during this primary season. My brother and I support Obama. Mom and Dad are in Hillary’s camp. However, to be fair, Mom is staying neutral by saying that she likes both candidates. My brother has the luxury of living in California, and, therefore, has not […]
