  • the master at play

    Speilburg is enjoying himself, and interestingly relies upon several British actors including Ray Winston, John Hurt, and Jim Broadbent, as well as the Australian actress Kate Blanchett who has had such a distinguished career. Living in Ireland, I can tell you that the cinema was very well attended on a beautiful summer's evening, which takes alot ...

  • About the Brand

    Obama is like the Tide Laundry Detergent of this Democratic nominating cycle: He's a proven winner, someone people believe in strongly and are willing to forego a little more coin (ex. the gas tax) for. George McGovern went so far as to switch sides after initially saying it was time for 'ladies first' and backed Clinton. People choose the ...

  • Re: Indiana is the key

    As a resident of Northwest Indiana for the past 12 years, I fear Obama is playing our part of the state all wrong. Indiana has maybe 3 major pockets of Democratic voters: Indianapolis, big University towns such as Bloomington, and Northwest Indiana near Chicago. I think the Obama campaign is playing the Northwest Indiana political psychology ...

  • Talk About Lowering Expectations!

    Everyone thinks this has been a bad week for Senator Obama. However, how many times has conventional wisdom been wrong this year? Maybe this was a lucky turn of events to be totally distracted by something that wasn't his fault to begin with. Talk about lowering expectations in North Carolina and Indiana! Now, if he wins by one point in North ...

  • Deathwatch a misnomer

    ''Deathwatch'' is a misnomer since HRC's campaign is already over - and is only a sham to get donations to cover Hillary's mounting debts. Giving her still a 10%+ chance is overly generous - and is part of the media hype to generate fervor in a lost cause that would otherwise have no intrinsic newsworthiness. 1% is a more accurate measure of her ...

  • CalmAnalysis; Where the Remaining Contests Are Heading.

    Argumentative analysis does not predict political outcomes. While unpredictable factors can always intervene (scandals, gaffes, etc.) the outcome of a race is determined by demographics, message, and campaign strategy. After 14 months we know all of these factors and can predict with reasonable certainty how the remaining contests and the ...

  • Re: Clinton's Blowout in PA: Trouble for Obama in NC?

    Obama's loss in Pennsylvania was exactly 9.2%. He lost 10 delegates off his lead. Do the math with me when looking at indiana and North Carolina: If Obama lost those voting blocs you have listed (seniors, undeducated whites, women) by 30%, that means he was winning other voting blocs or his loss margin would have been much greater than ...

  • Indiana's Open Primary Still Helps Obama: Here's Why.

    The Trailhead has posed an excellent question. Does the ability of independent voters to participate in primaries benefit Obama or Clinton -- or is it a draw? In a vacuum, the question is unanswerable, but an analysis in a particular state is possible. In Indiana, for example, the advantage to Obama is clear. Independents skew younger there. ...

  • Comments on article about Senator Obama

    Everyone is fascinated by Senator Obama's appeal and want to compare him to a demagogue, cult-leader and also to JFK, RFK and MLK. Let's keep is simple if we want to use religion into it as an explanation. Eccl 3:1-2 ''To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to ...

  • Voter ID - fraud hurts Americans!

    The candidates would like you to think the illegal immigrant problem is all Mr. Bush's fault. They have for the most part been in on it in representing big business's interests over that of the citizen's. In some areas it has been illegal for law enforcement to even ask for identification of a suspected illegal allien. Anything short of a ...
