The Aftermath

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Thoughts on Super Tuesday? Did it go the way you expected? Is the GOP race over? Who is in better position to take the nom, Clinton or Obama? If the rumor is true that there is going to be a joint Gore/Edwards endorsement of Obama is that enough to push him over the top? Can ...

It Has the Makings of an Interesting Day

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Now, I may be proved wrong and things are decided pretty early but is sure is shaping up to make for one of the more interesting days in American politics. First, Huckabee wins West Virginia. There probably isn't much to read into this and it will likely be the only ...

Super Tuesday

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

"I woke up to the sound of pouring rain." Not sure what this will do for election turn-out but, when I showed up at 8:30 after dropping off my daughter, I was the only person there. Nobody was holding signs outside or offering 10 bucks to vote for Ron Paul. My ...

Edwards Out

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

I guess this means no dilemma for me come Super Tuesday. Surely he will be endorsing Barack very soon.

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

I've noticed that my comments have slowed down over the last week or so with the eventual petering out of the "Obama is a Closeted Muslim Racist Christian" thread. The one way to get my comment bar red-lining is to post political. And so, since Obama has already ...

On Politics

Monday, January 14th, 2008

I know I'm in the minority. I know that. Probably 90% of my friends and family disagree with me politically. My vote come November probably won't matter a lick in the grand scheme of things. I was a fairly die-hard Republican for many years, serving at one ...

Universal Health Care Has a Face…

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

...and it is my daughter. Cassie has been rejected yet again. Despite the fact that, other than a mild case of arthritis, she is healthy the insurance companies who care more about the bottom line that people deem her un-insurable. It is time that we make sure that all of our ...
