What everyone missed about McCain's answer w/ Update

Wed Jun 11, 2008 at 07:55:16 PM PDT

With good reason, Team Obama hit McCain hard on his unconscionable response to Matt Lauer that bringing troops home is 'not too important' on The Today Show.

However, there was more to McSame's response to that.  Let's examine...

To Hillary supporters thinking about McCain

Hillary supporters,

If you're thinking about voting for McCain, let's not forget what he once said....

Why Hillary didn't get the nomination

Wed May 21, 2008 at 02:51:04 PM PDT

I was fortunate enough to get a college education.  A college education has it's benefits.  I'm able to understand and analyze things I may not have been able to do otherwise.  To the Hillary Clinton campaign, this makes me an 'elitist' who's presidential preference should be minimized.  I heartily disagree.  Here's why...

Will Stephanopoulos 'Gotcha' McCain?

Fri Apr 18, 2008 at 10:44:18 AM PDT

John McCain will appear on This Week on Sunday.  After he defended his 'gotcha' brand of questioning during the debate, I suppose we can expect George Stephanopoulos to ask some of these questions on Sunday....

Hillary's Whiskey Pandering

Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 05:27:00 PM PDT

As Hillary tried to show what a 'regular guy' she is with shots and beer, did anyone notice how she threw down that shot?  Take a look at the video....

Bill Press's Intellectual Dishonesty

Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 05:57:14 AM PDT

As a left-coaster, I seldom have the opportunity to listen to Bill Press's radio program.  Unfortunately, thanks to a restless sleep, I had an opportunity to this morning.  While he claims to be neutral in the Democratic race, he's clearly pro-Hillary (not a crime, he should just be forthright).  Listening to just one hour provoked me to send him this email:

Clintonistas and the Superdelegates

Sun Mar 09, 2008 at 04:32:43 AM PDT

While Tuesday was a good night for Hillary, her gain in pledged delegates was somewhere in single digits.  The arithmetic doesn't lie.  Even if Michigan and Florida re-vote, Obama will win the race for pledged delegates.

So, what to do if you're a Clintonista?  Accept the fact that, though the race was very close, Obama won fair and square?  LOL...of course not.  The nomination is Hillary's God-given right.  If it can't be won fair and square, other methods must be explored.  So, the battle will be on to attempt to flip the nomination by bribing/blackmailing/coercing the superdelegates.

Why Who Wins the Nomination Matters

The Bradley Effect?

Sun Jan 13, 2008 at 01:36:18 PM PDT

We hear often these days of the 'Bradley Effect', the theory that polled individuals tell pollsters they'll vote for a black candidate, then choose not to when actually in the booth.  This theory is named after the former Los Angeles mayor, ahead in the polls when running for governor of California in 1982, only to ultimately lose to George Deukmejian.  Might this theory be a bit overblown?

The Questions Not Asked

Tue Jan 08, 2008 at 04:09:44 PM PDT

Debate after debate after debate, and the moderators continue to ask the most banal questions.  Do they even listen to the candidates answers?  Some of them demand a follow-up.  A knucklehead like me can see it.  Why can't the professional journalists.  How about these....
