Chris Matthew’s terrier like questioning of State Senator Watson of Texas regarding his support of Sen. Obama is classic Hardball. A bit unfair and certainly cruel, it nonetheless crystallizes the sense many have that Obama’s supporters are all about the rhetoric but not much substance.
Of course, that’s unfair, too; Sen Obama actually has an […]

When I first saw then State Senator Barack Obama speak at the convention in 2004, I was delighted to see and hear the inspring voice of a new generation of democrats begin their ascent.
Frankly, Sen. Obama’s ascent has been too fast and with too little scrutiny.
I fear that the expectations he raises, redemptive as they […]

I have never been a Hillary basher. Although I know she and Bill are meant to be the most politcally calculating couple since the Thane of Glamis and his Lady (what? No mention of Liddy and Bob Dole??? Or Lynne and Dick Cheney????), I rather always admired her intelligence and her discipline.

In squeezing every delegate out of the small and mid-sized states […]

Fresh from Vanity Fair:
So spurn me, I voted for Hillary.
I have many faults and quirks, but one thing I’m not is a narcissist. My vote isn’t about Me. Who I am, how I conceive myself, how my vote positions me in the pulse of the moment. The tab I flip in the voting booth […]

Ricky D, our Clinton advocate on steroids is back with what he promises is his final plea for Democrats to vote for Hillary. Somehow, I don’t believe him, but here goes…from Ricky D. in Brooklyn.
What I dislike most about some of the Obama supporters I have among my friends is that […]

At the moment (inc. awarded superdelegates) Sen. Hillary Clinton is said to have 261 (not including possible delegates from Florida and Michigan) and Sen. Barack Obama has 190 (also not including possible delegates from Florida and Michigan). There were 26 candidates awarded to John Edwards before his withdrawal last week.
