McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! Obama is so naive and inexperienced it is painful to watch. On top of that his Chicago-style politics is not going to work nationally. His campaign is in full whine mode now. He wonders why the final phase of this election is not about the […]

McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! [Note: I am going to bracket every post related to the 2008 Presidential election with the above tag line to remind everyone what this election is all about. If I fail to do so please remind me to update the posts!] Now I understand why […]

McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! Obi-wan Kenobi is a mentor of Jim Geraghty who has years of political experience on the GOP side. In 2004 Obi-wan and I were of the exact same mind (which means more about my ability to act like a stopped watch every for years and […]

In the case of novice Barack Obama this is all the more important since confidence in him is as fragile as a spun sugar figurine. So when Obama’s camp […]
