The aftermath of Super Tuesday…

I am still recovering from the shock of seeing sometime today that Obama is ahead in the delegate count (note: on msnbc)…
Beyond that, it looks like Hillary is experiencing some financial trouble. Is this the beginning of the end of her campaign? Who knows. I doubt this will be over any time soon.
 While I want Obama [...]

Edwards, you will be missed…

Hot air and a number of different sites are reporting that Edwards will drop out of the race.
This is a sad day for me.
I think Edwards did accomplish something by pushing the debate towards the left. I think he would have made a great presidential candidate in the general election.
Unfortunately the primary voters have spoken and [...]

Homeless veterans…

I have to write a short post about this. From Crooksandliars:
BillO still claims that there are few, if any homeless veterans in America and insists that they aren’t living under bridges — Keith reads a news story from late last year about a homeless vet in Iowa who was found dead from hypothermia — he [...]

I have a bad feeling…

I am really disappointed. I don’t love Obama or Hillary. And it seems one of those two will be the democratic nominee.
I don’t like Obama’s health care plan. I don’t like Hillary’s position on about everything else (including continuing the Bush approach to not talking to “enemies” unless they bow down and agree to the [...]

I love Obama but…

I really cannot stand his healthcare argument. Coverage should be mandatory. For him to say that the only problem is affordability is really bogus. Some people, even if healthcare would cost 1$ a month, would not take it. Yet at the end of the day they will go to the hospital and force everyone to [...]

Congratulations to Huckabee and Obama, and thank you Iowa!

I think that this is a decent outcome. (well besides an Edwards win).
I am so happy the Republicans will have to deal with the religious right. And I think this bodes really well for the 2008 elections. I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I’m really tempted to call it for [...]

Uh, we are NOT at war with Iran. Google it.

Hotair recently posted an article about something John Edwards said:

“Among the Democratic candidates, there’s only one that voted for this resolution. And this is exactly what [President] Bush and [Vice President Dick] Cheney wanted,” former North Carolina senator John Edwards said of Clinton at the debate in Iowa, the site of the nation’s first presidential [...]

Edwards leading in the polls… the dkos polls!

For a few seconds I was very happy for my candidate… until I noticed it was a daily kos poll. I think it’s interesting to see the type of buzz both Edwards and Ron Paul are generating online and how it doesn’t match national or regional polling. Definitely a proof of the disconnect between the [...]

Poor Edwards has to be a contortionist thanks to the right…

Instead of proposing a single payer income tax funded system, Edwards has to go through all sorts of hoops to avoid that.
 Per Hotair:
Do these Democrats really think that they’re helping anyone by threatening to take their earnings away via the IRS?Do they think the American people see the IRS as anything but a necessary evil [...]

Your cheap populist gimmick is my poignant message

Hot air has a post about the claim made by John Edwards that he will remove the healthcare of politicians in DC if they don’t pass health care reform that gives every American access to health care.
They make the claim he can’t do that, but don’t substantiate their claim. Maybe he can do that by [...]
