Daisy’s still awake at 3AM

In an interesting turn, Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a rather interesting commercial.

On the heels of their debate in Cleveland, Ohio–the final debate before crucial primaries in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont–this advertisement comes as an exclamation point at the end of a very contentious week between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama.
Last week, Clinton said [...]

Will people who hate Hillary change their opinions if she were a he? What are the exact reasons for people to hate Hillary? Students at the University of Delaware already made their decisions. See this AP video clip via Live Video:

For Universal Healthcare, the Answer is in the Stars

For Universal Healthcare, The Answer is in the Stars
   For the first 16 minutes of Tuesday night’s Democratic Presidential debate on MSNBC, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama squabbled over the specifics of their proposed health care plans.
  And we didn’t hear anything that hasn’t been argued at nauseam over the course of the first 19 debates:

How nasty can the campaigns get?

I think the new round of attacks among presidential candidates started when Senator Clinton accused Baack Obama of plagiarism last week. Obama explained why he used a few lines from his friend, Deval Patrick about the value of words and called the accusation “silly.” As a result, Clinton received the longest booing in [...]

Obama’s Serenade

Barak Obama has more than a growing fan club in Texas; he has a serenade.
The latest Spanish-language ad flooding the Texas airwaves features a sombrero-clad mariachi band walking down the street and reciting, “Viva Obama!” in baritone.
The singer coos about Obama’s dedication to working-class Latinos and keeping families united. He mentions support from the [...]

Bill Schneider says we’re sour on Hillary

In what CNN’s Bill Schneider billed as Hillary Clinton’s last chance to prove her worth to voters, the Texas debate on Thursday seems not to have changed the race.
It wasn’t quite the love-fest of the CNN debate in Los Angeles, California, three weeks ago, but Clinton repeatedly shied away from challenging her rival, even when [...]

Speeches or solutions? I take speeches.

In the wake of the 2004 election, Slate’s Chris Suellentrop said it best: “Vision without details beats details without vision.”
Despite her decades of political experience and staff of campaign experts, Hillary Clinton doesn’t seem to get this.
In a speech to Ohioans yesterday, Clinton referred to herself as, “someone who’s not just in the speeches business [...]

The John McCain Affair?

According to a 3000 word slow dance published by The New York Times today, John McCain has lobbyist friends and colleagues. He may have even had an affair with one of them.
McCain and telecom lobbyist Vicki Iseman (who bears somewhat of a resemblance to Cindy McCain — see photo below) were spending so much [...]

A Few Thoughts on the Media

So I’m ready to acknowledge the media is rooting for Senator Barack Obama to win the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.
The pundits did everything but bury Senator Hillary Clinton after Sen. Obama’s double-digit victory in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday night, despite her leads in both the Texas and Ohio polls where 218 delegates will be [...]
