Hillary Is from Mars; Obama Is from Venus, McCain Is from Pluto...

On the right you have McCain and Romney, trailed by Huck and Ron Paul; on the left you have Hillary and Barack. Right down the middle comes Ralph Nader, Michael Boomberg, or anyone. Romney changed his stripes to spots and McCain called him the "change" candidate. Yet McCain cannot win the... Sign in to see full entry.

"The dream has never died... it lives on in those Americans, young and old, rich and poor, black and white, Latino and Asian and Native American, gay and straight, who are tired of a politics that divides us and want to recapture the sense of common purpose that we had when John Kennedy was...

Drudge Report Headline: Will Hill Chill Bill? CNN Flatfooted!

Adding to the excitement of the Caroline Kennedy and Uncle Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama, we learn (via Drudge and the NYT -- not a whimper on CNN) that Bill Clinton himself, self-appointed and -aggrandized strategist for the Hillary campaign, called Uncle Ted and asked that he, Ted Kennedy, withold...

Hillary Clinton Frantic?

The description of one prone to panic attacts, without using the word panic, would have to include the words frantic and franticness. One might say inventive language resorted to either before the protocol or after the alcohol. Witness: "When somebody's coming on strong and they are growing, people... Sign in to see full entry.

Ghost in the Machine - South Carolina

Do you read MSNBC FIRST READ blog? Very good, serious bloggers. Well, they reported a whispered comment on one audio line only, which was neither heard by the moderators or cadidates, nor was it heard in the debate hall by anyone -- except Mitt Romney. Here is their original post during the debate.... Sign in to see full entry.

Bll Clinton Has the Moral Development of a 7th Grader

I see this every day. It looks like reverse psychology, but to the unsuspecting voter, it is real and translates into some kind of verisimilitude. Like Hillary in 1992 saying "don't vote for him if you think he's lying" on 60 Minutes. You can be sure that the reverse is true when he says: "Obama... Sign in to see full entry.

Name-Calling Is All There Is When the Clintons Win a 3rd Term

With very little battery power left on the Blackberry, I asked myself if I had anything but name-calling to write. My answer was no, but then I realized: if the Clintons win a third term in the White House (after dodging inpeachment conviction via parsing) there will be nothing left to do but call...

CLinton Is a Traditional "Dirty" Politician...

Obama defended himself against the Clinton Attack Machine. I understood perfectly well his explanation as to why he voted 100 times "present". He said in Illinois voting present was a way of demonstrating support for a bill that you feel is flawed. It allowed the bill to move forward, while being... Sign in to see full entry.

To Fail To See Ourselves In Others' Eyes and Predicaments

The GOP has lost its way. Stumbling into the night of its own rebirth by appeasing a Christian Coalition minority, which seeks to further its own existence and political clout at the expense of people in trouble. The very idea that a religion could be hijacked in this way -- in the western... Sign in to see full entry.

A Deficit of Spirit, 2008

Obama spoke today at the famous Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where MLK, Jr. once was pastor. Obama's moment of truth to the faithful fell on deaf ears outside the church walls. CNN immediately reported that there was enormous pressure on Sen. Obama to show next week, that he can still win, by... Sign in to see full entry.
