Final Update: It seems there may be more at play in this special election than one of my readers first indicated (and then denied – the comments are there for folks to parse). Another reader, WWS, notes this factor: Foster’s ads reminded voters that Oberweis — who campaigned on a very hard line against illegal […]

Want to know why conservatism is on the rocks? I claim it is the purity wars where some claim superiority over all others, and emphasize their ‘true conservatism’ by calling their so-called allies names like ‘traitor’ and ‘RINO’. This all stems form the inability to lose one’s case with honor and maturity in a democracy. […]

The stakes are high in presidential politics, so therefore the emotions are high too. And when your candidacy is built upon some near-religious hope in a sea-change, as Obama’s campaign is, then defeat is all the more crushing when Nirvana is taken away (even though it really never existed). Not to mention all the work […]

Back on February 6th, right after Super Tuesday 1, I predicted the Dems would splinter and be at each other’s throats to their convention. It started with this post: The democrats may be able to do for the presidential race in 2008 what they did for the last Congress on Iraq – screw up royally. […]

This is too funny not to post. Connecting random dots can lead to interesting patterns, of course are simply speculation, or even simply a Rorschach test to see patterns that are in the mind’s eye. So let me be clear, these ‘dots’ could be coincidental – or they could be something else. It revolves around […]

I noted something happening back on Feb 20th, when leftist blogs started becoming tired with Obama and his boring victory speech after his WI win. Then a few days later I wrote about the ‘mob-think’ nature of his followers and how that was starting to disturb a few people who are just too seasoned to […]

Looking at the RCP poll averages for TX and OH I think Hillary will pull out a win in OH and make TX so close (if not a win) that she lives to fight on for the remainder of the primaries and into the convention. The TX polls are basically a tie, so even if […]

Updates Below! The problem phenoms such Obama is they come to believe they have super human powers and can change the world from its gritty, some times deadly, reality into a Sesame Street paradise where all is as simple as counting to twenty. The crowds start intoxicating their mind with the idea the mob-think is […]
