This November, voters in the United States are going to get something entirely new. A presidential election where the swing states and safe states are not the same as they have been for the last four presidential elections. If Hillary Clinton were facing off with John McCain on November 4th, we’d have a virtual repeat […]
As of May 7th at 10:30am Eastern the Democratic Nomination results are: Obama 1845 (257/795) needs 179.5 projected to add 103 probably 1948/2024.5 Clinton 1693 (271/795) needs 331.5 projected to add 114 probably 1807/2024.5 Source: Real Clear Politics Doing the math, there are only 217 remaining pledged delegates in WV, KY, OR, SD, MT, and […]
McCain is going on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show – and Stewart is soliciting questions to ask the senator… http://blog.indecision2008.com/2008/05/05/john-mccain-on-the-daily-show-this-wednesday/ I suggested a fun question comparing the Hundred Years War to Iraq just because I want to see Senator McCain’s head explode when the words “hundred” “years” and “Iraq” are used together in one sentence… Mine […]
A pretty close primary/caucus in Guam (current tally gives it to Obama by only 7 votes, there will be a recount), the delegates will be following the lucky guess prediction of two each plus super delegates. Add to each campaign a few more declaring super delegates and Obama only needs 282 of the remaining 404 […]
With the change of endorsement from Joe Andrew today, Obama needs only 289 delegates to win the nomination. There are 408 pledged delegates yet to be aligned by primaries in the few remaining states and territories. Very likely that will split very close to evenly (my own prediction is that Obama gets 205 of them […]
It makes sense. People like Wright, Sharpton, Coulter, Malkin, Robertson all make their living off the polarization of different factions of the American populace. It’s their right. It also means that anyone who can reduce the polarization of these factions by bringing people together is a threat to their very livelihood. Of course they are […]
So I did a little forecasting along the remaining primary schedule for the 2008 Democratic nomination process, and it gets a bit ugly…. Here is one of many possible scenarios on how this will play out. Today Obama has 1719 delegates, counting 232 super delegates, and Clinton has 1586 counting 255 super delegates. He needs […]
I predicted a Clinton win in Pennsylvania, but only by 6% a month ago… so the 10% margin this morning is disappointing. I blame ABC News and that horribly moderated Republican talking point trap last Wednesday night. Television audiences are still huge compared to newspaper, radio, blogs, and campaign rallies. Even though it was a […]
Hat tip to AMERICAblog for this excellent video, in short; Clinton and McCain are the pots calling the kettle black here: Obama’s response is to tell it like it really is: So the interesting question is can millions of social issues voters wake up and see that in 28 years the so-called social issues party […]
Some friends and I are concerned about some element of this being insensitive, perhaps the day-laborer stereotype; but I think that helps convey the point, and it adds irony in a sadistic way that the only person secure in their job is willing to work as a driver, and that says something about our Walmart […]
