• Democrats

  There is a saying, and if there isn’t one, there should be. The republicans act like criminals; the democrats act like family. A dysfunctional one. This is why all democratic administrations end up being chaotic. They are filled with internal struggles, policy debates, and debilitating in-fighting.
  Could you imagine an instance where Dick Cheney would throw [...]

• Debunking the Obama Election

  This post is not going to make readers happy (well, most of them anyway), and it is not supposed to. It is time for some real honest truths in response to the truly historic election that we have witnessed. Well, most of us. I was flat-out drunk-and-stupid that evening.
  Obama won — in record fashion, not [...]

• I’d Say Strong to Quite Strong

  I am not a very good predictor (although I did predict Bush would win in 2004), but I figure I should get this down before Election Day (or my version of Christmas). Obama/Biden 318, McCain/Palin 220. You read it here first. (My numbers reflect that McCain will steal Ohio, and Obama will steal Florida, Virginia [...]

• Election Ramblings

  With my work schedule ramping up, and all of the other bullshit* that life entails, I haven’t been able to blog as much about the election as I have wanted to. So here goes…
  - Two issues that should have been discussed at the debates, or at least mentioned once somewhere, anywhere during this election cycle: [...]

• Why Biden Won

  My instant analysis of last night’s debate is that both VP candidates did their job, but Biden did it better (although that is also because his job was easier). The point at this stage in the election cycle is to grab (and try to hold on to) as many undecided and independent voters as possible. [...]

• Biden Kills In Debate; Palin Still Standing

  It is somewhat humorous — but ultimately an indictment on our culture and media — that Joe Biden won the debate handily (on every single issue, mind you), but the GOP and the McCain camp are excited — and the press is surprised — simply because Sarah Palin did not fall flat on her face.
  Palin [...]

• Awkward

  Just wanted to make a few observations before the big speech from Palin…
  - Did the GOP speechwriters take the election cycle off? This has been pathetic.
  - Mitt Romney’s junker is reminiscent of Pat Buchanan’s 1992 convention disaster.
  - The awkward Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle stressed one point over chants of “none” from the dimwits in [...]

• Breaking Ball

  My favorite time to call a breaking pitch was on three-and-one counts. And that is exactly what McCain has done with choosing the unknown Sarah Palin as his running mate. This changes the dynamics of the race completely. Not only is Palin a woman — centrist Clinton supporters are the main grab there — but [...]

• Pawlenty

  I’m pretty sure John McCain will be announcing Tm Pawlenty, the governor of Minnesota, as his running mate. How sure? Well, it really doesn’t matter because it’s only my opinion, not front-page news. But this is why…
  Houses. McCain has thirty-six of them or something, at last count. Mitt Romney has a handful. Romney is what [...]

• Biden Redux

  Now that I’ve got some time for myself, this is what I think of the Biden selection for VP. The choice for Joe Biden as Barack Obama’s running mate nets almost every possible positive except one: easy electoral votes. And if Biden’s Scranton roots puts Pennsylvania in Obama’s corner, that trumps that angle as well. [...]
