Or assessing recent polling data. A recent poll in a key battlegr0und state shows clear danger for Obama’s re-elect: The Quinnipiac University poll shows Romney leading the president 47 percent to 41 percent among registered voters, a notable shift from a tie in Quinnipiac’s last poll of the state in early May, which showed them [...]

Boy, if you want to help President Obama win reelection, one of the best ways to do so is to park your brain and go full Birther – ignoring all other critical issues facing this country. The state of Hawaii has responded to Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett’s request for proof that President Barack [...]

Note: Follow the link for the above him (click it) to discover and interesting back story to the Python Dead Parrot sketch. With his standing in most head-to-head polls hovering in the 43-45% range (a clear indication of electoral doom for any incumbent, but especially a sitting president) President Obama would be seen to be [...]

One rule in war and politics is not to intervene when you opponent is self-destructing. Newsweek has produced one of those rare missteps that takes out both the person launching the missive, and the person the missive was meant to help: This cover is juvenile and crude. First off, the halo (sign of Christianity) is [...]

Apparently the 2010, insurgent Tea Party voter (as opposed to any attempt to organize an actual political party) is alive and well in Indiana. And my guess it is alive and ready to vote change in all 50 states and the White House this year. While the GOP tried mightily to co-op these independent, centrist [...]

Well isn’t this special: A covert group of EU foreign ministers has drawn up plans for merging the jobs currently done by Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, and Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission. The new bureaucrat, who would not be directly elected by voters, is set to get sweeping [...]

Immigration! Senate Democrats are making plans to force a floor vote on legislation that would invalidate Arizona’s controversial immigration statute if the Supreme Court upholds the law this summer. … The legislation would have little chance of passing in a stalemated Senate or being approved by a GOP-held House, but it would allow Democrats to [...]

So, where’s AJStrata been? Really busy is the short answer. Our little company has been growing since we are on a major program in need of our skill set, so my priorities have been outside politics and on real life. But in addition, the political landscape is barren and boring. Every day we see [...]

The Democrats were basking in the glow of a really bad GOP primary season. They had successfully turned GOP candidate misfires into the image of the bad ‘ol GOP of yester-year (preachy, prudish and pompous). There was the rich against the poor – with Romney being the near-perfect stereotype of the rich man who won [...]

Tone deaf political consultants can be a real hoot sometimes. Drudge has this up this morning: ‘SHE HAS NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HER LIFE’ But everyone’s knee-jerk response thought is to recall that this person never worked a day in his life either (at a real job before being elected Prez): It impossible not [...]

Sorry again for the lack of posting. I am simply stunned with how much work is slamming me at the moment on multiple fronts. Not to mention we are now in the doldrums of the political season, so my interest in politics is at a true low. Santorum cannot stop Romney – and I am [...]

Update: The news of an eye witness does not change my assessment below. But one man’s testimony could be key for the police. “The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said. Trayvon Martin was [...]

I think one of the deep nagging problems with this election cycle is how we are experiencing the demise of big-government intervention as we collectively realize there are no easy (or cheap) answers to be found in the mythical magic of government as our savior. Government has a role to play, but as been shown [...]

Tonight’s results are very, very interesting. Rick Santorum took both Alabama and Mississippi tonight. But worse for Mitt Romney (the anointed one) is the fact he came in 3rd in both races. Gingrich stole second place meaning “Anybody but Romney” took another round of races. This means Gingrich and Santorum will stay in the race [...]
