Why Obama Must Lose: One Progressive’s Opinion »

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. [...]

Obama’s Fake Unity »

From the IOwnMyVote newsletter.
Part I - The Restoration
Senator Obama has announced with a magnanimous flourish that he would, in all his beneficence, call for the Credentials Committee to restore the votes of Florida and Michigan delegates to 100%. If you recall, when we left off at the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31st, [...]

Obama’s Gesture »

From my blog, The Confluence.
______________________
What have we here? Obama has asked the Credentials Committee to seat Florida and Michigan at full strength? (Read the comments to see how the average reader interprets Obama’s letter.)
I can’t decide what I loathe more: that Obama all but acknowledges he stole the primary or that he assumes that [...]

Obama’s Hypocrisy Complete »

Five months passed while we waited for a decision from the Rules and Bylaw Committee arm of the Democratic National Committee. During the months Florida and Michigan voters waited for a decision on their voices and votes, Obama did everything in his power to block state level efforts at revotes. He literally refused to discuss [...]

Oops, Didn’t Realize I Was So Late: Dean’s DFA »

What and Who Is Democracy For America?
Talk about a bamboozlement. What a strategy. It appears that attempts to organize now, after the Hillary fact, are, well, several years too late, to put it mildly. This one bowled me over, like I’d been hit in the gut. It doesn’t mean that I’m giving up; I’m just [...]

PUMA Politics For Dummies »

Over the course of the last six weeks, more and more people are hearing about P.U.M.A and the Just Say No Deal Coalition and looking for information about this viral movement. Since the Main Stream Media (with the exception of FOX) isn’t about to give you the facts about PUMAs, I humbly thought it [...]

Lofty Ideals - Poor Execution »

I Own My Vote: www.iownmyvote.com
A life-long Democrat, who has never voted Republican, the ideals espoused in the Preamble to the Democratic Party have been the coalescing force behind my dedication and loyalty. Without fail, I, along with millions of others, have rededicated ourselves to the principles that have not only “sustained” our [...]

An Open Letter to Caroline Kennedy »

Dear Caroline,
I hope you don’t mind if I call you “Caroline,” but I feel like I’ve known you all my life. I’m only a few years older than you are and I remember you when you were riding your little pony–Macaroni. I thought that was such a great name and I loved horses, [...]

Trend Analysis: Why Obama can Lose »

Looking at all the polling data available on Obama versus McCain on Real Clear Politics website, 147 polls in all since November 2007, a very interesting pattern emerges. I pulled the data provided at that site into a spreadsheet, and within a few minutes, saw some things I did not expect to see.
When all [...]

Obama’s Flawed Race Strategy: Why the Black Vote Won’t Be Enough »

Senator Obama plans to win the general election based on African American turn out. It is no secret. The Time’s Jay Newton-Small reports that he’s been vocal about it since August 2007:
“I’m probably the only candidate who, having won the nomination, can actually redraw the political map,” Obama replied to a question about his [...]

Obama Fails to Attract Hillary’s Supporters »

Not only is Obama failing to gain Hillary’s supporters, his support from registered Democrats has dropped from 59% to 54%, according to CNN (thanks PPM):
A growing number of Clinton supporters polled say they may stay home in November instead of casting their ballot for Obama, an indication the party has yet to coalesce around the [...]

Guest Post by AnnabelleP

When, in the course of U. S. Presidential Elections, it becomes necessary for one portion of a political party to assume among the people of the nation a position different from that which they have previously occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of their [...]

Michiganders Demand Restoration of Voting Rights Following DNC Theft »

As NoQuarter’s Bud White wrote recently in his devastating “The RBC: Bush v. Gore“:
We are seeing a recreation of the Florida 2000 coup d’état in mirror image. The Dean/Brazile/neo-liberal wing of the Party learned their lesson in Broward County all too well.
The most obvious clue of this theft, of course, is that Hillary has won [...]

The UnDemocratic Party: The New Culture War pt 2 »

Millions of people believe that the Democratic primary was fixed, which is a major reason why former Clinton supporters will never vote for Barack Obama. Some may vote for John McCain, some may vote for an alternative candidate, and some may sit this one out. But when surfing through the internet, one can’t help but be struck [...]

Hillary Supporters Meet with John McCain »

Something extremely unusual happened on Saturday afternoon, Flag Day, June 14. A group of about 75 Democrats, ardent Hillary Clinton supporters, met with Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president. Was this some sort of fringe group? Not at all. Just a small cross section of the Democratic party–black, white, Hispanic, Asian, male, [...]

RBC Selectively Enforced Its “Rules” »

The saga of the Florida and Michigan would-be delegates to the Democratic National Convention took an interesting turn today.
As most people probably know, both Florida and Michigan moved their primaries forward in defiance of party rules. As a result, FL and MI were stripped of their delegates and much hilarity ensued, with the RBC [...]

The Three Acts of a Stolen Nomination »

The Obamabots are in a panic. Even though he has claimed the nomination still we Hillary supporters have not seen the light. They are in shock that we are not swarming with the masses to the selected one.
On Wednesday, I wrote a defiant post declaring that I would never vote for Obama. An Obamabot, in [...]

The next in our continuing series of the viewpoints of our many readers - SusanUnPC

For months, the punditry as a whole seemed to constantly say the same thing. There was no way the Republicans could win in 2008. The Republicans would merely offer up a token candidate, let the Democrats win and then [...]

Foreword by SusanUnPC: Here is our second “guest rant” by Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy whose blog is Rabble Rouser Ruminations.

And Venting. I still cannot believe that the FAR less qualified candidate is the one that was shoved down our throats by the media, and the DNC elite (or former elite, in terms of people [...]

The RBC = Bush v. Gore »

Hillary supporters watched with amazement and horror over the weekend as the RBC arbitrarily stole 4 Michigan delegates from Hillary, gave Obama delegates he didn’t earn, and disenfranchised 50% of Florida Democrats. The theft of delegates was blatant and illegal:
