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 science is in. And it favors what many of us have been saying and predicting for such a long time. Hillary is the strongest candidate. By far. According to an astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, if the election were held today Hillary beats McCain and Obama loses to McCain. Period.
Vote By Numbers
This conclusion comes not […]

Apparently, along with suppressing truthful information about Barack Obama, bashing Hillary Clinton, pulling Race Cards out of their asses and deliberately thinking of and condoning as many gleeful sexist remarks as possible in any given segment, MSNBC also has a bit of a problem with Florida and Michigan’s 1st Amendment right to assemble outside the […]

(Add to the list in the comments section)
1. Blatant sexism
2. Race-baiting as a political tool
3. Vote stealing. Literally taking away delegates from Hillary in Michigan (worse than FL in ‘00)
4. The less qualified man getting preference over the more qualified woman.
5. Obama’s membership in a hate cult and his convenient break with Trinity
6. The media’s […]

Just when I thought the audacity had reached it’s summit I am yet again surprised at the ego of Barack Obama. According to the UK Telegraph, senior members of the Obama campaign have been working behind the scenes trying to offer Hillary a way to find a “dignified” way to exit this race. Yes, you […]

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: […]

Well as you might have guessed, I was at the protest in DC today as the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) met to decide what to do with the votes my family and some 600,000 others cast in Michigan, and those 1.7 million cast in Florida.

Please keep in mind that this is a statement for public consumption and I FERVENTLY hope that much is still going on behind the scenes. NOTE this in the last sentence: “We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually […]

Let us summarize Obama’s position: we must respect imaginary voters who would have or could have cast votes in Michigan and Florida, for if we do not respect these imaginary voters, we run the risk of disenfranchising voters who may or may not exist. It is a specious argument, especially as the Obama […]
