It is baffling and amazing to me that this candidate is the best that the Republican party can offer us in 2008! While I have virtually no respect for Senator John McCain, I also realize that he was the best of the bunch of losers that the Republicans tried to foist off on us. Only […]
No compromise that allows the FL and MI super delegates full votes is acceptable to me. The voters of each state are responsible for their governors and state legislatures. Even if Republican controlled legislatures foisted this off on the Democratic parties in those states, the Democrats 1) had it coming for letting Republicans win and […]
Obama did better in Oregon than expected (+30 rather than the expected +28 delegates). Clinton did better in Kentucky than expected (+37 rather than the expected +28-31 delegates). According to RCP that brings us to: Candidate: Pledged: Supers: Total: Needs Obama 1653 306 1959 66 Clinton: 1499 279 1778 247 Update: I updated the table […]
Maryland voters in the 4th Congressional District will get to vote in a special election on June 17th, 2008. You can register to vote, and still vote on the 17th so long as you register on or before 9:00pm May 30th. Go register if you live in Maryland’s 4th CD. Per Maryland’s State Board of […]
I have already contributed a small amount to “Byrne for Congress” to help her win the Democratic Nomination and the 11th congressional district of Virginia. The 11th will almost certainly go to the Democratic winner of the primary on June 10th. Incumbent Republican Tom Davis is retiring, so there is no incumbent advantage. The district […]
The great orator does it again, this time in response to George W. Bush’s and John McCain’s hypocritical lies. Check it out for yourself and ask if this is not the leader we have been looking for… Clearly Obama gets right to the heart of the issues and he calls Bush out for airing our […]
Today I am sending a small donation to the “Friends of Glenn Nye” to help him win the second congressional district of Virginia away from an irresponsible and spitefully corrupt Thelma Drake. Glenn Nye’s campaign has done wonders with volunteers and only lacks a little money to get their message out to the voters of […]
A cousin of mine, who has since recanted her silly impression, once commented to me that she felt that George W. Bush was a great leader. Of course I scoffed, which perhaps was impolite, but what is the correct response to such an outrageous statement? Great leaders praise in public, criticize in private; that is […]
On June 10th, registered voters in Virginia’s 8th, 10th, and 11th United States Congressional districts will get to vote in open (to all registered voters) primary elections. Virginia scheduled primaries for all districts, but in all the other districts either no candidates filed in time, or only one did from each party, or the party […]
As a veteran, one of the issues I am particularly attentive to in American politics is the support for veterans and the pay and benefits of active duty and reserve/guard troops. For my entire adult life I have see some candidates claim to be better for the military, but never actually honor their promises nor […]
