In other words, “screw what the voter wants“. I have been speaking to a lot of Democrats lately who are fed up with their party. From the waffling of the leadership in the House and Senate, to this entire delegate mess, they are tired of it. Something has to be done soon or the Independent […]
While supporting the thought of super delegates swaying the vote to Hillary: Don’t change the rules in the middle of the game – or, more accurately, don’t game the rules to change the outcome. Interesting idea. So why is it that Hillary is doing this exact thing when it comes to Michigan and Florida? Also […]
I got a feeling we will see more news like this in the coming months: The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows that Barack Obama (D) currently holds a seven-point advantage over John McCain (R), 46% to 39%. However, if the Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton, McCain will begin the race with a fourteen point advantage, […]
Bill Press writes: Super Tuesday’s over, and there’s no absolute winner among either Democrats or Republicans. Nonetheless, even though no one candidate has yet locked up their party’s nomination, we might as well cancel the rest of the primaries or caucuses. The media have already decided that this year’s standard bearers will be John McCain […]
In my earlier post, someone asked a very good question: I don’t really understand how it hurts the Democrats to not have a nominee yet? It shows how much the Democrats are involved in this election and wanting things to change. Let me take a moment to explain further why it’s harmful for Democrats to […]
So much compassion that they filibuster helping out our vets, elderly and poor: Senate Republicans blocked a move by Democrats on Wednesday to add more than $40 billion in checks for the elderly, disabled veterans and the unemployed to a bill to stimulate the economy. The 58-41 vote fell just short of the 60 required […]
That’s what Chris Bowers is thinking: It can no longer be avoided: super delegates will determine the Democratic Presidential nominee this year. That is also what I been fearing. Considering the proportional breakdown of delegates on the Democratic side, there will be no clear front runner after today. It’s also looking like there might not […]
In a recent poll Democrats are trusted more on every single issue than Republicans. That includes national security and the “war on terror”. Also Republicans in Congress are rated much lower than Democrats in Congress. Glenn has all the details.
The media is talking about Clinton and Obama disagreeing and making it out to be this huge fight. They are talking very little about the fireworks between McCain and Romney last night at the debate, despite Romney accusing McCain of being up to “dirty tricks”. So it’s ok for Republicans to disagree, but don’t let […]
That’s what he said last night. Unfortunately for him it’s his own party that is balking at the idea: Even as Bush called on Congress to cut earmarks in half and announced an executive order cracking down on the projects, Republicans in Congress were sending out a mixed message about what their party really stands […]
