After yesterday’s NV caucuses and GOP primary in SC we have some pruning opportunities. John Edwards is doing the political version of Keith Richards – he’s the walking dead. He thinks he is alive but just doesn’t know it yet, so he goes on. OK, bad joke about a great guitarist. But Edwards is out. […]

I am truly not sure who will win between McCain and Huckabee. Yes, others have a shot but I don’t see enough movement in the polls to be convinced they will show up. Fred has been haunting the conservative talk radio shows – which I think is not helping actually. Again, this is an election […]

As I look at the latest Nevada Caucus polls at RCP for the dems I note a consistent pattern – over time Hillary is losing ground and Obama is rising fast. Check out any single poll and look at the trends. For example, looking at the last two ARG polls Hillary goes from 45->35, Obama […]

Wow, got a twofer today. First I predicted a Romney win, but I also predicted a Clinton surprise even though she was the only one on the ballot – and I was spot on. Here is what I said yesterday: Michigan’s row over their primary date means Clinton is the only name on the ballot. […]

It is just amazing to think of an Iraqi nation where al-Qaeda is the enemy and Americans are considered respected allies for fighting (and dying) to rescue Iraq Sunnis from their horrible decision to try allying with Bin Laden’s butchers. I still look at the country today which has been a tyrant’s den of darkness […]

Well, well. Looks like I finally called on on Michigan (odds are you get one right sometime). Looks like Romney not only won, but he won by one of the largest margins of all the first three well publicized races (this is actually Romney’s second win). The 9 point romping of McCain is impressive. That […]

My predictions for today’s next round of primaries are more likely than not to be wrong. I have learned a lot about the electorate so far that is interesting. In Iowa it was confirmed that the party stalwarts are heading in different directions than the party leadership. For the Dems it was towards the center […]

Liberals must be ecstatic this year 5 Presidential candidates to chose from – for of the viable at this stage. Edwards, Clinton, Obama, McCain and Huckabee are candidates that lean way left on most issues. McCain and Huckabee have very few ties to conservative policies. When you look at them on policy-policy level they are […]

The African-American community is getting a brutal wake up call as the Clintons go to the gutter to keep their hands on power. Once Bill Clinton was called the “First Black President”, which could make Bill and Hill the “First Black, First Couple”. Well, now their true characters are showing through as they diss Obama […]

The Anchoress notes today something about the chattering class who control the media message and the rest of America who work, raise families and live their lives. The key point (from Dick Meyer) is we are not polarized and hyper-partisan – it is the talking heads! [Meyer] … independent, swing voters never went away, they […]
