Newsflash: the campaigns for the presidential term starting in 2009 are over and done. Obama won it by a vast margin on Tuesday, March 18th when he made his “More Perfect Union†speech in Philadelphia. At this point Clinton and McCain are simply going through the motions to save a little face. We should all […]
I had already decided that my vote was going to Barack Obama, partially as a result of the process of elimination (initially I wanted Wesley Clark, then Evan Bayh or Bill Richardson, then John Edwards. One by one all those candidates dropped out of the race, and I was left with Barack Obama as the […]
In states with open primaries, that allow any registered voter to vote in any party’s primary, but only one party’s primary each election cycle; it makes very good sense for voters to cross party lines and vote wherever their tiny little vote will be most effective. Virginia is one such state, and as a Virginia […]
H. R. Clinton is proving my theory that she is more like most Republicans than most Democrats in her latest ad, which uses fear-mongering in a very Republican manner. If there was any doubt at all before this ad, there is none now. H.R. Clinton will not get my vote. Thanks to tacnukesoul I am […]
When I voted for Obama at 9:30 this morning my tiny little precinct had 104 people vote as Democrats and 93 vote as Republicans (so far). What is interesting is that this is an overwhelmingly neo-conservative precinct, so there must be some cross-over voting happening.

It’s time to make a statement regarding who I support in the coming elections. On the Republican side there are no good choices. […]
Here are some thrilling facts to take away from the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary: in Iowa, the top three Democratic candidates all got more votes than even the top Republican and in New Hampshire, both Clinton and Obama did far better than the top Republican, and Edwards did better than all but the […]

It was a bad year for a re-match. My favorite local candidates: Roemmelt, Rishell, and Pandak all lost to incumbents in effectively re-matched elections from one and two years ago. I am still trying to figure out why, because in all three cases the losing candidate is clearly and demonstrably more able, more likeable, and […]
