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 […]

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:

CNN reports that Hillary swept Puerto Rico in a win that contradicts previous voting patterns in this primary:
Clinton won 70 percent of the male vote, 65 percent of voters under 30, 70 percent of voters who attended college, and 66 percent of voters with an […]

The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) decided on Saturday to count only half of Florida’s primary votes — despite the fact that all candidates’ names were on the ballot and Florida’s Democratic legislators had no power to block legislation that moved the primary election to a date that violated the DNC’s rules.
Make no mistake: […]

Dorothea LANGE, “Migrant Mother,” 1936
A friend paraphrases a famous story to illustrate why she may vote Republican for the first time in 40 years: in the late 1960s, when the feminist movement was still thought of as a novelty, a boorish male reporter asked the heterosexual Gloria Steinem if she was a lesbian. Steinem responded, […]

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary […]

The superdelegates are going to pick the next Democratic nominee. Winning the General Election against John McCain should be their primary concern.

Will wonders never cease!
That’s what I thought when I read this Politico.com article. For awhile there, we almost thought that Dean and Pelosi would need a telephone pole on their heads to get it. Florida and Michigan voters are mucho ticked off. They wanted their delegates seated and that didn’t happen. So they asked for […]

A Car Dealer, a College Student and a Lobbyist Are Going to Help Pick Your Presidential Candidate For You.
Florida’s votes don’t count.
Michigan’s votes don’t count.
But the votes of Howard Dean’s Car Dealer and a Lobbyist trump them all.
