OK, I hate conventions.  You get hour after hour of kindergarten level logic and sound bites parading as magical solutions to problems that are mostly self inflicted because people didn’t realize they need to work and prepare for life so they can have a good career and make and save money to live on. Both […]

Looks like my prediction about Obama sliding behind McCain was off by a few days. I predicted it would happen before the Dem Convention in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll: But what comes up must come down, as we say in physics. And what this tells me is when attention does move from the Olympics […]

This story is good news overall, a group of idiots have been arrested on gun and drug charges with the claim they were going to attempt to assassinate Barack Obama during his speech: CBS4 has learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his […]

While I was waiting for Michelle Obama to speak tonight, I was reminded of Sherry Palmer in the first episode of 24. Sherry Palmer is a very strong, smart woman who knows how to play the political game. She knew which groups of people she could be a strong outspoken black woman and which groups […]

OK, give Michelle a big D- for her speech tonight. First off, she went way too quickly to the dead father analogy. I grieve for her and her family for the loss of a wonderful father (I can tell, she is a very successful woman). But don’t shove that down my throat as a reason […]

What is going to be the top of the news over the next few days at the Dem convention? Bill Ayers. That is now a given after the Obama campaign has released a really dumb ad attempting to distract America from a terrible association he has had, stomping all over the other ‘themes’ being trotted […]

As many know I have been saying for over a year this is the election of the independents, who are repulsed by the fringes left and right and their manic obsession with party purity. It was the denigrating comments of the far right that lost the independents to the Dems in 2006, and it is […]

I was checking in to see what news was out today and glanced at the RCP state-by-state poll numbers as was absolutely stunned to see John McCain leading in OH. Last time I looked Obama was pretty far ahead (too early to focus on the states right now). So I went to the RCP Ohio […]

Obama is just not closing the sale with Hillary supporters (the most dejected of which are shifting to McCain) a new USA Today/Gallup poll shows: Fewer than half of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s supporters in the presidential primaries say they definitely will vote for Barack Obama in November, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, evidence of a […]

This is just the kind of ad the Democrats fear: The reason they fear it is because they dare not attack the young democrat woman who has decided experience is much more important than ‘change’ (whatever that means). But attacked she will be, by the arrogant and oppressive purity police that inhabit both parties and […]
