So many pundits are asking where the landslide is in the presidential race. With the polls so close, it is raising the question even more. David Brooks latest article even asks this: Why isn’t Barack Obama doing better? Why, after all that has happened, does he have only a slim two- or three-point lead over […]
I want to know where it’s at. Where’s this important party unity we keep hearing about? Well Republicans – where is it? You’re presumptive nominee is failing to get about a 1/4 of the vote. This has been a constant trend for John McCain since securing the nomination. It really looks like your party is […]
This is the biggest margin to date for Obama. I guess the pundits blew it again. It seems that the “bitter” comment isn’t hurting Obama, like they all claimed it would.

Several officials said that on the heels of a defeat in Tuesday’s […]
We hear Bush saying how he will get rid of earmarks all the time. Well that doesn’t look like the case so much: But Bush hesitates to exercise his authority. Surely he doesn’t fear challenging a Congress that trails him in public approval surveys. House Republican Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., has reportedly warned administration officials […]
With the news of global markets sinking today, expect our stock market to go down when it re-opens from the holiday tomorrow: If futures contracts traded on a day when U.S. stocks weren’t even due to open are anything near accurate, then markets will be in for a major decline on Tuesday, with concerns about […]
This is good news for Edwards A new poll finds a tight three-way race among Democrats and a narrow lead for Arizona Sen. John McCain among Republicans ahead of Saturday’s Nevada caucuses.
