The people who want Obama really want Obama, and the people who want Clinton really want Clinton. If they are on the same ticket then you merge two groups of enthusiastic supporters and McCain doesn’t stand a chance. However without the “dream ticket” then the Democratic candidate won’t have as much combined […]

Up until now I never considered Obama to be a real candidate. Just 5 years ago no one knew who he was. But now his old friend Reverend Wright is stabbing him in the back taking advantage of their relationship for personal gain. The Clinton’s have had their friends stab them in […]

If the Clinton Obama contest were held according to general election rules this is where the candidates would stand today. This is without the Democratic party’s funny election rules. In the general election it’s winner take all based on the popular vote of the state. And in the general election Florida and Michigan will count.

A lot of people are talking about which candidate is most electable. Unfortunately the Democratic party’s primary rules do not reflect the rules of the general election. In the primary votes are divided up proportionally, but in the general election it’s winner take all. In the primary the Democrats say that Florida […]

America has three candidates to choose from to fix our ailing economy and put us back on the right track. One has a history of turning deficits into surpluses. One has a history of turning surpluses into deficits. And the third one has no history at all. I’m supporting the one who […]

Clinton beat Obama by double digits even though she was outspent by over 3 to 1. He’s good at raising money. She’s good at winning elections against the odds. Seems to me that if Obama were Hillary’s fund raiser the combination would be unstoppable.

One of the reasons I’m supporting Hillary is that I don’t want the news media picking the Democratic candidate. The news media has always favored Republicans and it’s clear to me that they would rather have a Democrat with no history of experience or accomplishment run against McCain rather than a candidate that is fully […]

I am concerned with the way the families of the sect members of Zion Ranch in Texas are being treated. While it may be true that they are a cult and there was abuse there, we have to remember that these people are individuals. Many of these people were born into this life and this […]

But I did see the CNN coverage. Since CNN showed no clips I’ll have to assume that Hillary must have kicked Obama’s ass.

Depending on how the race for president goes maybe Clinton and Obama should just flip a coin. The winner gets to run for president. The loser has the option to be the Vice President. I think that either Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton are winning tickets. If the election is so close where there’s […]

Bill and Hillary Clinton have always been a team. When Bill ran for president in 1992 he made a point that they were a team saying, “Buy one, get one free!” The Clintons accomplished a lot starting their job with a huge deficit and leaving with a huge surplus. In these rocky […]

John McCain calls the surge in Iraq a success. But is it? Things in Iraq have gone from really really bad to just really bad. So if you think that represent success then vote for McCain. After all, if McCain is going to be the next Bush then we have to lower […]

Obama and Clinton are tied in their race for president. Their positions are essentially the same. One touts experience, the other touts judgment. But they could break the tie if one of them were to make a bold move and show that they are true leaders, ready to be president before day […]

It was just 8 years ago the Democratic party in Florida angrily demanded that every Florida vote should count. “Count every vote! Count every vote!”, they cried! Now the Democratic party has declared that NO Florida votes will count. Is it just me or has the world gone mad? Makes you wonder […]

If you read Democratic Underground these days you’ll think you were reading Free Republic. There’s really no difference in their political views. They both love Obama and hate Hillary. But for different reasons.
One thing you have to remember about the support for Obama at DU is that the moderators over there enforce a particular […]

Obama campaign co-chair Jesse Jackson Jr. has been pressuring black delegates to vote for Obama because he’s black saying, “Do you want to go down in history as the one to prevent a black from winning the White House?” The way I see it Jesse Jackson Jr. is a racist. He’s saying […]

Obama says he’s not ducking debates because he’s debated 18 times, but the reality is that he’s only been in a single one on one debate with Clinton. In that debate she mopped the floor with him. If Obama is too chicken to debate Hillary then is he ready to lead America […]

Sometimes it just amazes me how the Democrats survive as a party. They make a decision to put South Carolina ahead of Florida and Michigan and declare these two states votes will be ignored. Then after the primary they are going to try to go back to these same voters in the […]

After spending years as a POW in Vietnam and supposedly tortured John McCain votes against a bill prohibiting torture. How pathetic is that? I guess there’s no limit to how much a Republican is willing to sell out to get the Rush Limbaugh vote.

Obama supporters are making a serious mistake talking about the Clintons the way Republicans talk about them. The last time Democrats talked about the Clintons that way was 1994. Democrats in Congress were convinced by the news media that the Clintons were poison. The Democrats fell for it and distanced themselves. We […]

I find it interesting that Obama is afraid to take on Clinton in as many debates as offered. Hillary isn’t showing any hesitation accepting the challenge. With the race for president tied Democrats are looking for a way to choose their best candidate. Debates are the best way to do this because […]

On the Republican side all they talked about was money and the petty stuff. I can see why as America votes that […]

Many of us Democrats who remember what a great president Bill Clinton was are getting really offended by Obama who is now talking about the Clinton years the same way Republicans talk about it. Obama sounds like Carl Rove is writing his message. The Clinton’s have a strong record of accomplishments and […]
