Note to Indiana: You still don’t matter
Three days after Sen. Hillary Clinton’s win in Pennsylvania, a new poll suggests a dead heat in the May 6 Indiana primary — the next crucial battleground that could decide the Democratic presidential nomination. Gee, if I got all my news from credible news [Read More]
Obama/Clinton Part XXI
I’m listening to NPR’s primary coverage, given I have no cable or satellite TV. I’ve been ambivalent about the race ever since Edwards dropped out, and perhaps even before then. I haven’t personally picked a favorite outright between Clinton and [Read More]
The Obama/Clinton dilemma
I had the opportunity to visit the JFK Library in Boston this past weekend. To be sure, the museum works hard to shine the most positive light possible on the life of John F. Kennedy, but I felt so inspired by my visit. If nothing else, JFK did inspire Americans like no [Read More]
Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama works for me (at the moment)
I watched or listened to most of the debate tonight. It’s when I hear them on the issues that I feel best about the Dems chances in November, as opposed to when the news cycles are dominated by stories about snubs and snipes outside of the debate arena. Clinton and [Read More]
State of the Union, and why I’ll take the Clintons back (abridged)
I knew what I wrote last night was not something I wanted to publish in its entirety. The password to that protected entry is an eight-letter two-word combination, if anyone feels like giving it a crack. I should not have watched a second of it, let alone the last 25 [Read More]

Here’s one of the many headlines touting the “comeback” of Hillary Clinton to win the New Hampshire primary: Stunner in N.H.: Clinton defeats Obama WHAAAT? Hillary Clinton was the front-runner for a year-and-a-half. Suddenly, she was “stunned” [Read More]
New Hampshire ’08 (and some left over Iowa stuff)
I never followed up on Iowa ’08. I had some notes. (Note I’ve taken taking notes more often before just posting stuff. I hate to admit that I’m trying for some sort of quality in my posts, but perhaps I am). I’m a bit late with those, but I’ll [Read More]
Kucinich all the way!
Well, that’s what my head says, if I supported candidates on the issues only. I think I knew this already, before I took this 11-question survey that determines how compatible your views are with those running for President. (The list is a bit dated; no Fred [Read More]
Election 2008: Where the candidates stand
2Decide.com Election ’08 Chart of Where the Candidates Stand Originally uploaded by kentbye Any mostly-binary chart to summarize candidate positions has its problems. Few issues are black-and-white, for me, at least. But I thought it would be interesting to run [Read More]
