Can Obama create a RESPECTABLE strategy in PA?
Bare with me, this is my first diary and I've been a lurker for a long time, so I'll try to be substantial. I've been an Obama backer since his 2004 speech at the DNC. I was a former Illinois ...

Hillary going broke, heading downhill?
OK, it was most definitely the worst week for HRC this year, other than losing in Iowa maybe. The bad news just keeps piling up, there were reports today that big donors are not ponying up the cash ...

I can't stand the latest Hillary lies: money is not a problem!
NAFTA, Bosnia, whatever. Lying to her seems more natural than it does to Bill. But with the SCORES of reports in recent days from small business people not paid for their wares, her stiffing her old ...

Newsweek: HRC only took in $7 mill in March!
I doubted it when everyone was assuming she came in with $20 million, just because Wolfson wouldn't put a specific figure on it and some sources floated that number. Now the truth may show yet ...

Denver Plan? Internet rumor about Gore taking Nom.
I know there's a lot of garbage going on, but this virulent strain even has a name that sound so official, the "Denver Plan," and would involve Al Gore stepping in as the nominee...

Is she (or her campaign) capable of telling the truth about ANYTHING anymore?

Clinton doing Rove-style Push Polling in NC
Is there any doubt that this candidate will do ANYTHING to keep her PERSONAL dream alive? Replicating what Rove did to McCain in 2000????

More reports of racism in PA primary
I know this is exceptionally discouraging to many, but I believe that Ed Rindell's comment about the people of his state can possibly be extrapolated to many states in the GE: "This country isn't ...

Clinton DEMANDING Veep slot to concede????
Heard this from David Gergen tonight on CNN... as they hashed over the impossibility of her campaign after the Indiana result. My Reaction: PLEASE BARACK, DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karl Rove: Evil Personified
HuffPo has an interview with Don Siegelman that expounds at great lunch on just how horrible this guy is. It's a stance I've held since he unkindly, inaccurately and without a shread of decency ...

New attack on Obama: world poverty tax
The other side is really getting desperate trying to stop the movement and momentum Obama has right now. They're dredging up a so-called World Poverty tax on Americans that will hit each family for ...

Praise for the Prius
In 2006 I bought a used Prius from the sister of a former student. She was going away to grad school on the East Coast and needed the money. She hated selling it. I wanted to buy it after seeing Al ...

OBAMA has INCREDIBLE Electoral Base
I know it's early. I know there's a lot of work to do. I know the election is a long way off. But at this point in the year, Obama has a far more substantial BASE in the Electoral College ...

BREAKING--Obama could raise $100 million in June!
Holy Cow! I know he was at one point saying great things about public financing of the presidential campaign. But he would make a very foolish mistake to stick with that. NO WAY McSame pulls in ...

Help me with the Hide Rating thing
I'm somewhat new. Been posting a few months. Always had availability of "recommend," but that's all. Now, this morning, the "hide" button shows up. I'm not John McCain, but I need help from ...

I love my Out of Office Countdown calendar
I never saw anything like this in previous years until I went into the store on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston last fall. A 2008 "through the Glorious End! (Jan. 20, 2009)" ...

Should geo-engineering be used to fight GW?
I find it amazing that geo-engineering is so controversial in environmental circles. I realize that unintended consequences can result in more harm than good, but even if we cap emissions we are ...

McCain's comment: A "let them eat cake" moment
Heard on NPR today some pundit saying the whole McCain not knowing how many houses he owns is at best a "medium" gaffe. I beg to differ. Considering the state of housing drama in the U.S. today,

Obama's way to win: Borrow from Reagan
I realize the Republican saint is not highly thought of by some at DK, but he was a great campaigner and his work in 1980 was masterful. Obama needs to mention him by name then spin his best ...

Why wouldn't McCain look at Obama?
In the history of these debates, it's the non-verbal impressions that set the tone, rule the day. Nixon looking shifty, nervous, untrustworthy versus JFK's calm, confident demeanor. I could not ...

What states should Obama focus on now?
The 50-state strategy, while encouraging, is not realistic in the last month of the campaign. Resources must be concentrated on the best prospects. I had hopes for Montana, but it looks like they ...
