MoveOn.org, Progressive Promise, John Edwards Affair…
Looking over the MoveOn.org site, they seem to focus on their progressive promise of our country. What does that mean? Progressive Promise? Ever taken a good look at the progressive socialist movement? It starts out as the people’s party with the ideals of hope and change, the desire to save the country and the environment. And where does it end ...

setting up the obama stage
The curtain rises and there she is, standing under a single spotlight, center stage. She is very pregnant, just in time tor the polls to open, just in time to steal any last minute thunder McCain might offer. She is wearing a Jackie Kennedy hairdo and hat. WELL, it could happen, couldn't it?

I Liked Ike -- Now I Like Mike - HUCKABEE, that is
I liked everything I heard about Mike Huckabee, even before he started running in earnest for his Party's Nomination to be our next U.S. President. The more I learned about Mike Huckabee, the better I liked his candidacy. Further, he is a very well-spoken and persuasive guy, with that down-to-Earth Midwestern style I always liked about ...

Obama should quite? NOT!!!
I don't beleive that there is any reason that Obama should quite or even be asked to quit. He is the best choice for the Democratic party and the only chance we have of beating McCain in November. Just because HRC has an agenda of her own which has no concern for either the Democratic party or the American people which stops her from pulling out ...

Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called &amp;amp;amp;quot;cult followers
Not all Clinton supporters are cult followers. I'm a former Clinton supporter and I can see some of the reasons there are still so many behind her; especially the older women. Older women (for arguments sake say, over 60) fought so hard against discrimination that this would be the crowning achievement in a struggle against sexism. Younger women ...

It's funny, but...
At the end of this piece, it's supposed to be a stab at the younger voters for not standing by Barack Obama unconditionally. But, isn't unconditional devotion to someone like a presidential candidate a little scary? Haven't the ''Gen X ers'' learned well enough in the last eight years that you have to be careful whom you trust and elect in ...

Dem Popular Vote: Wow . . . it's real close!
7,374,222 7,374,222 So, I was complaining about the lack of data on total vote counts from yesterday's primaries. Using CNN's up to date numbers, I did it myself. Note that not all precincts are in, but generally states have reported 90+ percent (most in the high 90s). So, as of now, where we are in Feb. 5 caucus goer and voter ...

Huckabee's Remark re Jordan
What was he thinking. Just when Mr. Huckabee sounded a little like he was making sense, he tells us that he thinks Sadam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction are hidden in Jordan. Did he really say that. Did I miss it. How can someone aspire to be president that has so little grasp of what is going on in the Middle East. Jordan is one of the ...

The General
It’s the electability, stupid. Democrats, please pay attention: Hillary cannot win the general and that is the ONLY point worth putting out at this crucial moment of the primaries. Don't get distracted or side-tracked: put every other piece of info, scrappy fight, comment by surrogates, squabble, newspaper article, blog, story and ...
