  • Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections

    Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

  • 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 ...

  • Drop Out? Or Forced Out?

    The same scenario will play out if the DNC takes the nomination away from Obama. The Clinton forces are dragging this thing out for one purpose only: to undermine Obama, smear him as unelectable and strong-arm the super delegates to adopt the ever-changing Clinton metrics. The DNC is a ready accomplice. Dean claims he wants to give all ...

  • Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called "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 ...
