Cornyn’s Record - Indefensible

intend to vote out John Cornyn in November and have written a number of pieces on my blog about why I do not support John Cornyn for re-election. I want to outline a few of them here because
his voting record is fair game and it is important to understand exactly where he has been over [...]

Congressional Endorsements

John Murtha, a prominent anti-war democrat, has endorsed Hillary Clinton. Representative Murtha of Pennsylvania is something of a lieutenant to Majority Speaker Pelosi and is also a coveted superdelegate. Tell you the truth I am a little shocked by this endorsment because Pelosi has tacitly signaled her support for Obama’s campaign in recent days.
Texas also [...]

Another Reason to Oust Senator Cornyn

I wrote earlier this week about the duplicity of republican candidates who claim the “pro-life” position and I made the argument that this was nothing more than a cheap trick to consolidate political power. Sure enough these old tricks are being redeployed over and over again in order to further their political power. [...]

Hillary and Obama Bloggers Clash - DKOS Boycotted!

I have complained frequently that the liberal blogs (mydd, dkos, huffpo, tpm, etc…) and the media have shown overwhelmingly favorable and decidedly pro-Obama blogging/reporting. Now, I have no qualms with people taking up a position and sticking to it (from bloggers) but after a certain point it really just goes to far. The news media [...]

Finally We Get to See MORE Presidential Debates!

Hillary and Obama have agreed to do two more debates.
The first one will be in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center (one of my classmates from Drexel actually worked on that engineering/architectural project back in the day) on April 16.
The second one is still pending but should be in North Carolina and hosted by [...]

Embryonic Stem Cells and “Pro-life” Politics

A while back the news media decided to call out the Republicans. Prominent pro-life advocates were abound in Presidential Debates. It’s interesting how these same candidates are pro-life when it comes to the womb, but have no qualms about the sanctity of life when it comes to the death penalty. If they are so adamant [...]

Lessons Learned from Texas Two Step

The Texas Two Step election system for the Democratic Presidential Nomination has provided us with a very interesting experiment, whereby, we can actually compare and contrast results between primaries and caucuses from the same election in a staunchly republican voting state.
I have been puzzled by the dramatic difference between Texas’ primary and caucus results. To [...]

Path to the White House

Given the contentiousness of this issue I decided to highlight a fairly straightforward analysis that summarizes how Hillary or Obama could win the nomination.Let me just remind everyone, as well, that either way we are choosing from the greater of two greats! Here it is:

Do Overs in Michigan and Florida

Apparently governors of Michigan and Florida are willing to pony up the money for redo of their respective primary elections. Just today Yahoo News is reporting that DNC Chairman Howard Dean is ready to give them their way.
“All they have to do is come before us with rules that fit into what they agreed to [...]

Simple Math

After Hillary’s surprise (for some not me) victories in Ohio and Texas there has been a lot of post-shock spinning going on. After Hillary was out advertised and out spent in Texas and Ohio by more than 2 to 1, Hillary still pulled out a double digit victory in OH and a huge upset in [...]
