President Obama’s Christmas Message
I am no longer calling him President-elect. In the heart and minds of 82% of the American people, he is already our President.
Looking Back at Kavips
I love reading Kavips. I am honored every time I am mentioned by him. So when DD suggested that you would have to have been a true believer, I remembered a post that Kavips had done last year, making predictions about how the blogosphere in Delaware would line up for the election. It’s a lot […]
Gingrich Repudiates Gingrich
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is the latest Republican with his finger in the wind to blast his own party’s national committee for their efforts to somehow tie President-elect Obama to the pay-to-play scandal in Illinois. Ben Smith has the letter Gingrich wrote to the RNC: “I was saddened to learn that at a time […]
0 for 5 for Fox News
Fishbowl DC is keeping track of how many times Obama has been calling on Fox News in his press conferences. So far, it is 0 for 5 — calling on NO Fox reporters after 5 press conferences. EDIT: I didn’t read far enough to see that Fox did finally get a question yesterday. Which is […]
A Sign that Obama Plans to Act on Healthcare Immediately
Although it’s not official sources are reporting that Obama has chosen Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services. After an earlier round of hand-wringing about whether President-elect Obama would push off health care reform out of fear of its economic and political costs, some experts and advocates in the field are increasingly optimistic […]
Call Carper and Biden.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid met with Independent/Republican Senator Joe Lieberman to tell him there will be consequences for Joe Lieberman’s many transgressions against the Democratic Party during this election season, from supporting John McCain, to his dishonest attacks against President-elect Barack Obama, to his actual campaigning for Republican candidates for Congress. Reid’s punishment: […]
Breaking: Theft in the 29th – Republicans Move to Steal Paradee Victory
Kavips lays it out. Absentee totals for Thorny don’t jive with other absentee votes in the district. Why were only Republican party officials notified and present at the recount? Why was the recount actually done in her district, among only her supporters? What systems were in place to insure that both parties agree the new […]
Obama
I admit it, I did not see Obama give his famous speech at the 2004 convention. I was out of the country and I didn’t want to give up a day in London for a late night watching TV. Nonetheless, I chose Obama as “my guy” the day that he announced. I have never regretted […]
Breaking: Rahm Emanuel to be Obama’s Chief of Staff
MSNBC just confirmed that Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) will be Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff. Great pick! Update: MSNBC is now back peddling on their announcement.
Take a breath… and look at what we’ve done
I don’t know who will win on today, but I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge what we have done. I feel honored to be part of this movement, and feel sorry for those on the sidelines who can only sneer and mock or slander and smear while offering no solutions to the problems […]
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Several months ago the McCain Campaign laid out their strategy. McCain would win by making the election a referendum on Obama. In essence, this wouldn’t be about voting for McCain it would be about voting against Obama. Hmmm… How’s that strategy worked out for them? Refresher Course of headlines over the last 2 months: Sarah Palin, the fundamentals […]
Small State
I know this kid quoted in this NJ article about the 2008 Student/Parent Mock Election Convention. A fellow delegate from MOT Charter, Fxxxxx Sxxxxxx, was quick to voice his opinions, too. “I want John McCain to win because I think he has more experienced, and I think Obama is a socialist,” said 10-year-old Sxxxxx. He […]
