Not So Suddenly Sudan
After months of hard work and analysis, the Obama Administration recently unveiled its Sudan strategy. According to the US State Department, the Sudan strategy will focus on three areas:
A definitive end to conflict, gross human rights abuses, and genocide in Darfur.
Implementation of the North-South CPA (Comprehensive Peace Agreement) that results in a peaceful post-2011 Sudan, [...]
Now This is How It’s Done
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has an interview with CNN where she is asked about the idiot John Bolton — and she just laughs:
When they bring up their usual go-to pundits who are peddling the usual crazy and bamboozlement — you laugh at them. Treating them seriously just gets them more airtime.
ps. Bolton [...]
Speedbump For Hillary as Sec. of State
One of my friends mentioned to me that there is a little bit of a Constitutional controversy swirling around Hillary. There is a pesky little part of the Constitution that basically says that because Hillary has not completed her Senate term and the salary of Secretary of State was raised during her current term, she [...]

Late Nite Oddity: I’m glad we are not here.
Washington (AP) – With just 13 days to go this election will be every bit as tight as the elections we’ve become used to. Hillary Clinton has been playing to “the middle” as expected focusing her entire campaign on trying to win centrist voters in Ohio and Florida.
Meanwhile John McCain and his telegenic running [...]

She’s Hillary Rodham Clinton and She Does Not Approve This Message
This is good, and I bet you hear this alot over the next few days (maybe weeks). The crowd is clearly receptive to her message of support for Obama and the crowd clearly boos the fact that the McCain camp is using her supporters against Obama and the Party. I wonder if the [...]

Is Hillary Finally Free?
I wonder how many of Hillary’s life and political decisions were tied to a desire to be President.
Would she have left Bill?
Would she have voted against the war?
Would she have triangulated her position on welfare and poverty?
I’m serious. She has amassed a huge amount of political capital and I think is positioned to take Ted [...]

The Healing Begins Today
Today Hillary Clinton will give the speech of her lifetime. I have no doubt she will fully and enthusiastically endorse Barack Obama and that she will demand the same of her supporters. Any attacks she makes will be directed at John McCain, any slight will be against the Republican Party. The primary [...]

Hillary to concede on Saturday
ABC News is reporting that Hillary will suspend her campaign and endorse Obama on Saturday.
Let the healing begin. The primary was tough, but remember it was a family fight, and in the end families stick together.
Will she or won’t she?
What will Hillary say tonight? On the one hand signs are pointing to her acknowledging Obama as the nominee. On the other hand…
Okay, I’ll admit I’m starting to get a bad feeling about tonight.
What I don’t understand is what possible option she has left? And by option I mean [...]
Will California lead the way?
The Field has learned that Cardoza is the first of a group of at least 40 Clinton delegates, many of them from California, that through talking among themselves came to a joint decision that all of them would vote for Obama at the convention. They have informed Senator Clinton that it’s time to unite around [...]

Hillary as the Psycho Ex-Girlfriend
Holy cow. My brother is on today. He sent me the link earlier and I got so engrossed, I forgot to click on the other link. Whatever you do today, you must read this blog post today. My only regret is that Donviti didn’t do it.

Hillary Post-Mortem
Time has a piece up about the 5 mistakes that Hillary made that cost her the nomination. It is a pretty good list. I think the weak point of the article is that Axelrod was one of the main sources.
Anyone else have mistakes that she made? I think it would also be [...]
Brace Yourself. WV and KY are about to join the list of states that “matter”
I’m warning you to brace yourself because I fear we’re heading into the “blue-collared, white male” argument again.
Nevermind that Hillary was always going to win these states, and even though Obama may make strides in Kentucky I fully expect HRC to paint herself as the candidate who overcame insurmountable odds to pull off these [...]
Feeling Happy Today?
I was. It looks like this thing will finally be over and I can spend a few Tuesdays with my family. Then I went over to Taylor Marsh’s site. Taylor has been very pro-Hillary, so I wanted to see how she took the results last night. She is ready to flip [...]

Unfinished Business
When Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, not only were Democrats rejoicing, but Republicans were seething. This upstart politician, from the backwoods of Arkansas had defeated the President. Demoralized him. Made him look like a weakling and a dolt. Republicans were mad. There was unfinished business for them and 4 years had been stolen from [...]

Hillary camp threatens nuclear option
Okay, a part of me dismissed this threat as bluster, and I ignored it yesterday. But then, today, the Clinton campaign added fuel to the fire…
“There is no secret plan…. The Clinton campaign has been vocal in stating that the votes of 2.5 million people must be respected. Hardly a day goes by when [...]
Comment Rescue: Truth Teller Loves Him Some Pandering
One of our new commenters, Truth Teller, had a gem in the Hillary-pandering post a few days ago.
I noticed that Obama knocked her plan but failed to tell us what his plan. Another great speech but no solutions
I love how Truthy wants us to believe that Hillary is all making a proposal that needs to [...]
Gen-Irrational Gap
My family, like many families, has split along generational lines during this primary season. My brother and I support Obama. Mom and Dad are in Hillary’s camp. However, to be fair, Mom is staying neutral by saying that she likes both candidates. My brother has the luxury of living in California, [...]

How Florida is Useful For the Democrats
Florida provides a very interesting case study for us. They were eliminated from being involved in nominating the Democratic Presidential candidate. So to a degree they are an unvarnished example of Hillary’s starting point.
None of the candidates campaigned there (except for ads that were run there as a result of some national advertising [...]
Hillary is winning IF…
Hillary is winning…
IF… The popular vote includes MI and FL
IF… The popular vote does not give Obama any votes in MI
IF… We don’t count caucus states
IF… We don’t count red states
IF… We don’t count small states
IF… We only ran our primary like Republicans
IF… We considered the Electoral College map
That’s a lot of ifs. Have [...]
Matthews makes a point, indicts himself?
The man who has been one of the driving forces in the never-ending Democratic Primary, now says… The Media created “delusion” that Hillary can win.
Ya think?
