Hillary Clinton and Ann Coulter, Buddies?
Now that Ohio and Texas are over, it’s time to take a deep breath and have a snack. We will probably need lots of energy to keep up with the escalating attacks between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Of course, Wyoming has their Democratic caucus on Saturday, but that’s only 18 delegates. And you may [...]
The Long March to the White House
To no one’s surprise, Mitt Romney pledged his support to John McCain yesterday. Romney’s 286 delegates are not obligated to swing to McCain, but the majority most likely will. This puts McCain only a few delegates away from clinching the nomination. It was expected that Romney would eventually support McCain, especially since his given reason [...]
Obama & McCain Victorious! So What?
The big news on the Democratic political front is that Barack Obama continues to sweep up wins everywhere he goes. For the first time he has pulled in front of Hillary Clinton in pledged delegates. Probably more important is the fact that he won the Tuesday primaries by making big inroads into groups that were [...]
Obama’s Winning Everywhere!
Just in case you’ve been visiting a far planet for the last few days, I thought I’d let you know that Barack Obama is on a roll. He won everywhere this past weekend, even in Maine, where Hillary Clinton’s strong female support couldn’t pull her to the top. Now, both candidates are halfway to the [...]
A ‘Miracle’ Candidate for the GOP?
With Mitt Romney suspending his candidacy, his supporters appear to be in shock and depressed. Conservatives keep hoping for a miracle - that SOMEONE will take the Republican nomination besides John McCain. McCain knows he has to have the backing of conservatives, as well as moderates and independents, if he is to have a chance [...]
2009 is the year Mets edge Yankees in World Series
2009 is the year Mets edge Yankees in World Series A year ago, we predicted that Barack Obama would win the presidency with 353 electoral votes and pick a Clinton as his secretary of state. (OK, we said Bill Clinton and pegged Al Gore as Obama's running mate and Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee. Nobody's perfect.)
Republicans Flee Inauguration for Las Vegas
This article at Politico about Republicans getting out of Washington DC for the inauguration and holding an event in Las Vegas caught my eye: "What better way to mark the Obama Inauguration (and his millions of adoring fans that will be in D.C.) than to get out of town to fabulous Las Vegas!" Charlie Spies, a Republican lawyer and former CFO to Mitt Romney's campaign wrote in a blast e-mail to GOP friends. "We hope you can join us for dinner and a fun evening on Monday, Jan. 19, to celebrate th
Will conservatives be Obama's 'best allies' in the climate fight?
By David Roberts In last weekend's New York Times, conservatives Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) and Arthur Laffer had an op-ed claiming that a revenue-neutral "tax shift" would make conservatives "the new administration's best allies on climate change." Color me skeptical. Laffer, of course, is a conservative legend, an economist whose curve has given a great many mendacious right-wing legislators intellectual cover in the war on taxes. Inglis is best known for telling Mitt Romney that Mormons ar
I Thought The Press Was Supposed To Investigate?!
Bob Schieffer of CBS News, at this point renown only becasue he is old, looks at the political year that was and says: Can you remember who won Iowa before I say it? Time’s up! Mitt Romney poured millions into Iowa, but Mike Huckabee won the Republican contest with just a smile and a shoeshine. OK Bob, The Huckster had one other thing going for him besides “a smile and a shoeshine” - religious bias. He played it deftly, he played it with plausible deniability, but play it he did. What is m
