LBJ, Nixon, Hillary -- The Beat Goes On!

Hillary holds to her "experienced" line, adding to it today "with specifics". Not working, according to polls, superdel shift, pledged delegates and votes cast. Today, too, Dick Morris notes that her inability to read the new realities and adjust her strategy accordingly, is a trait found in recent... Sign in to see full entry.

Hillary Goes Ballistic Live on CNN

I slept late and got up to watch Hillary Clinton on CNN. Her tone was excoriatingly hot. I kept hearing, "shame on you, kingmi! Shame on.you for sleeping in! You think that just because it is Saturday and you have a perfect attendance rate at school...Oh boy, Mr. Bigshot with your big crowds, lofty... Sign in to see full entry.

Mr. Wilson Vs. the NYT

Senator McCain is now enjoying the "circling of the wagons" effect. All those who decried his lack of credentials during the last part of the primary season are now rallying to his defense. Why?

John McCain, Adult in the Race? or Authoritarian Bummer?

What would it be called if a Republican Nominee lost a general election 49 to one, as McGovern lost to Nixon in 1972? A drubbing? An embarrassment? Today, Senator McCain put on his game face, visiting administrator that no one pays any attention to, and dragged Cindy out onto the press platform to... Sign in to see full entry.

Negative Attacks Propel Hillary to a 17 Point Loss in Wisconsin Only

Meaning that the Clinton Camp went negative in Wisconsin for a week, what they call contrasting, and didn't get blown out by an average of twenty-five points as they did last week on Potomic Tuesday. The negatives used? Obama refuses to debate, Obama doesn't believe in comprehensive health care,... Sign in to see full entry.

The New Hillary Clinton:

Kinder, softer, much more likable. A tear on her cheek in a coffee bar surrounded by working women just after Iowa, just before New Hampshire. You know they said the reason that Mitt Romney failed to catch fire was because he ran as something he's not. There was a true sense of phoniness that... Sign in to see full entry.

Was JFK Nice? Was He Selling Hope?

To paraphrase Shakespeare, kindness, like hope, is double-powered. It benefits both giver and receiver. But an unhealthy or unstable organism is incapable of healthy service. Even in relationships, an incomplete person will have a toxic effect on the other(s). A leader: teacher, doctor, minister,... Sign in to see full entry.

Hillary Makes Political History: Going Negative On Self...

Reviewing editorials post Potomac Tuesday, it becomes clear that everyone wants to be first to write the epitaph. Here lies the Hillary Campaign, why Hillary will lose, what went wrong, inside the Clinton meltdown. To me it looks like she's getting her groove back down there in the Lone Star State....

Obama-Mania I’m having a hard time paying any attention to the Roger Clemons steroid testimony before Congress. The US Marine Corp is at loggerheads with UCLA and the Civil Liberties Union, and I can’t get too riled up. The Sports Illustrated “Swimsuit Edition” is being advertised online via CNN...
