McCain was not my candidate. Not originally. His close ties to, and having worked with very liberal democrats had me worried. Once it was clear that he was going to be the Republican nominee, he was the best of what was left. Let's face it, the Democrats were choosing a nominee that didn't believe...

Since Hillary Clinton endorsed Barack Obama back toward the end of primary season, no one has seen her anywhere. Barack Obama pledges get others to dig her out of her financial pit, and she still says nothing. I honestly didn't even realize she was missing until a minute ago. But still, thats probably...

Last year McCain and Obama both promised to accept public financing if the other party’s nominee did. Hillary Clinton was non-committal on public financing. McCain is keeping his promise, while Obama has broken his promise or lied again. What else has Obama lied about? Anything that might help line his...

It has become clear that the Democrats are executing one of the most brilliant political strategies I have ever seen.

Sometimes I get the impression that all three of the major party candidates want somebody else to win the election. This weeks biggest loser is Barack Obama. In one short statement, while speaking in San Francisco, B.O. managed to alienate all of small town America . The more often he speaks without...

If you watched American Idol Thursday night, you saw all three Presidential candidates in recorded messages asking for people to support the Idol Gives Back charity. (I swear I was only flipping through and don't usually watch Idol. OK, so maybe occasionally, but never more than once or twice per...

Hillary Clinton wants a do-over in Michigan and Florida, because those two states had primary elections that the Democrats decided wouldn't count because the states did not follow the Democratic party rules. Hillary Clinton is behind in the delegate count for the Democratic Presidential nomination...

Geraldine Ferraro was, up to now, one of my heroines. There’s a Mondale-Ferraro button still buried somewhere in my sock drawer. She ran for Vice President and, to be honest, that was enough to secure her a place in my personal pantheon. Today, however, she fell from grace. I understand being passionate...
