Foregoing public financing could be extremely wise move for Obama

Seeded on Thu Jun 19, 2008 2:33 PM EDT ()

This leaves John McCain in a position that hurts him no matter which way he goes. On one hand, he can keep his word and take the public financing, which puts him at an extreme disadvantage in the race.

McCain campaign revamps with a "familiar" look

Seeded on Fri Jun 6, 2008 10:43 AM EDT (Politivine.com)

The last thing that the McCain campaign should be doing is associating John McCain, in full senior citizen status, to the sleek, cool, "web 2.0″ trend of graphics and media. It actually makes him look about 20 years older than he really is.

Once again Hillary Clinton is proving that the Democratic party does not matter to her and she will stomp on it at the drop of a hat if it means her getting her way, and that fully includes stealing the Democratic nomination by any means necessary.

Why Al Sharpton will never allow a black president

How can Rev. Sharpton continue to preach that America is holding down the black population, and that suppression of minorities in this country is unjust if we elect a black president? He can't, which is why he doesn't want Barack Obama to be the president.

If Hillary Clinton is on the ticket, be it a joint Clinton/Obama effort or if she just outright steals the primary and is the Dem. candidate, it will rally opposition forces to levels that could totally knock the Dems. out in November.

Clinton will win PA, but will it matter?

Seeded on Thu Mar 27, 2008 10:06 AM EDT ()

The PA win will not matter for Clinton though, other than to further pad her idea of winning the big states matters. To me, this logic is totally absurd, as I don't think it holds in any water when it comes to the general election.

Terrorism is not a tangible item that you simply seek out and destroy. Terrorism is an ideal and it is instilled in many people, religions, and societies throughout the world. To think that you can simply seek that out and remove it is insane.
