Every morning I wake up to read the news in hopes of something positive happening around the world.  More and more I have felt a resentment and anger towards my country, specifically the dysfunctional government and those in charge. On the national stage, it is the leadership of our nation that ...

Democrats to MI, FL - "Go Away!" After a long and grueling 2008 primary campaign, most Democrats are probably wishing that Michigan and Florida would just go away and leave the party alone.  Of all the times for the states to get defiant and challenge the DNC rules, now is the ...

More of the same from the primaries.  John McCain with 42% reporting is carrying Wisconsin, 54% to 38% for Mike Huckabee and 5% for Paul.  Barack Obama 55% to  44% for Hillary Clinton.  Barack Obama's victory speech was pretty much the same one that he's been giving at every event.  ...

It's not a good one either. Senator Clinton has been battling history, the fact that she can't "be a new story" as former President Clinton put it.  Barack Obama's "change campaign" has tripped her up and lets not forget her unwillingness to confront the War issue in a decisive manner.  As ...

A state that the Clinton campaign was expecting to take has been seized by the Obama avalanche. This minor blow comes in the wake of news that the Clinton campaign manager has resigned and will be replaced by Clinton's ex-chief of staff during her tenure as NY senator. Clinton's new campaign ...

It's nice to think about the possibilities of an Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama ticket if you're a democrat.   Analysts have called this the "dream ticket" and Democrats would feel invincible if they could go into the general election with this lineup.  I've written about this issue before: "Clinton vs. Obama - ...

The media is reporting that Rudy Giuliani may drop out of the race if he fails to secure the blessing of Florida voters.  Does this at all remind anyone of what Hillary Clinton's campaign did with the state of New Hampshire?  They played the 'expectation' game and the media bit ...

Politicians, lobbyists, and others that fall under the general title of "special interests" frequently sport policy platforms in this day and age. These platforms are meant to serve as a laundry list of actions their progenitors intend to take given the opportunity, but more often than not, they instead ...

Rudy Giuliani's latest campaign ad asks supporters to turn down the noise.  He says that the media is trying to handicap the presidential race the way sports pundits do the Super Bowl.   It's an interesting move for Rudy Giuliani as he's been  campaigning as if 'everything' is as it should ...

Gov. Richardson Abandons Presidential Nomination Race Richardson was up against impossible odds from the start. First, there's Barack Obama, the first African American with a serious shot at becoming President.

If you would have asked pundits and analysts to predict the future just a year ago, chances are none of them would have predicted how our 2007 primary season would shape the quickly approaching 2008 Elections. What have we learned throughout the primary season in 2007? The GOP is desperately struggling ...

"Fox News, South Carolina, a perfect storm of stupidity..." --Bill Maher Anyone remember how "outraged" Republicans were with Ron Paul when he came out during the first televised national debate and pointed to history to support his contention that America isn't a nation-buildin, war-seeking, fascist government? I'm sure the War criminals were ...

I've written before, that I believe John Edwards is the best candidate to take up the 'Democratic agenda', and now it looks like he ...

John Edwards is brilliant! I'm watching his New Hampshire speech right now. It's live, it is a beautiful speech about Democracy, the American dream and moral leadership. The man stands for a lot of what I believe in and I can't see why he isn't one of the top two political ...
