• Clinton’s Mistakes

  NBC News has a pretty good summary of what went wrong with the Clinton campaign…

• Obama

  My wife returned home this evening wondering why I hadn’t posted the news that Barack Obama had earned the Democratic nomination, and I told her, first, it is not as if this was a surprise at this point, second, that I was quite possibly the first person in the blogosphere (by my humble estimate) to [...]

• Clinton To Withdraw Tomorrow

  Wait, that isn’t the real headline stemming from this story… “Clinton to give post-primary speech in N.Y.” Really, what else could she say? I wanted to thank all of my supporters. [Applause.] We have made it to the end of the primary season, and you know what, we are losing. But — no, wait, hold [...]

• DNC Rules Committee

  This actually makes good television. The Clinton camp wants Obama to receive no delegates from Michigan (a very extreme view), and wants those delegates to go as “uncommitted.” Hillary was unopposed on the day of the Michigan primary, with the known fact that the primary was unbinding, and would not count. Forty percent of the [...]

• In the News

  - I live in a new urbanist neighborhood in the bay area, so I am biased on the subject, but it seems that my hometown (and the surrounding Buffalo region) is having a difficult time accepting the concept of walkable communities, which is a shame. – Hillary Clinton won California — somewhat handily — in [...]

• Clinton Supporters Yearn to Bring Back the 90s

  If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times. The Clinton years were good, so electing Hillary will bring back those good times. What a silly and disastrous argument. First, what does the First Lady have to do with anything the president does? It may be considered unfortunate, but very little. If Hillary [...]

• Undecided

  In true undecided fashion, I am going to delay blogging my choice for the democratic nominee until after the California debate Thursday evening. It only seems right, and even more so, it only seems fair. The debate will be head-to-head Obama and Clinton, so there should be enough time for each candidate to voice their [...]

• Four On Two

  And this is why you should wait until the last moment before picking your candidate in a primary. Shame on you if you mailed in an absentee or early ballot. Rudy Giuliani placed third last night in Florida and will drop out today, and will reportedly endorse John McCain. Simple and logical. Secretary of Homeland [...]

• Is The End Near For Liberal Blogs?

  Will a democratic victory in 2008 spell doom for liberal blogs? That may be true, unfortunately. The rise of blogs, liberal blogs in particular, came out of the growing public disgust for the contemptible Bush administration. And Bush’s unconscionable reelection victory in 2004 only led to increased liberal blogging. It should be noted that the [...]

• Election Notes

  - The first woman in history will be Speaker of the House. This is huge news. (Does this mean feminism will be making a comeback? Maybe, but not likely.) – Several conservative ballot measures failed, including stem cell research in Missouri. – I would swear that was a tear coming from Brit Hume’s eye as [...]

• Let Me Tell You About My Sock

  Let me tell you about my sock, my right sock, in particular. (I should note that this sock has also been worn by my left foot countless times; this is why I like this sock, he’s a switch-hitter. He’s not a part of those “Oh, I’m a left-only sock” and “I’m a right-only sock” crowds. [...]

• Who are these 2-3 potential candidates?

  Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, former Vice President Al Gore, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York are three people who may, at one time or another, jump into the fracas of the Democratic primaries. Ideally, Al Gore will remain on the sidelines and support Dean for President (who has the best chance at this [...]
