It’s a simple question, isn’t it? Sometimes in order to solve the most complex problems, one has to take a step back and re-examine the basics. Earlier this year, RAND published a landmark study on the end of terrorism that seems to have received very little national attention.
As Barack Obama prepares to assume the Presidency, [...]

I was in the tank for Obama since I met him during his run for the US Senate in 2003. I heard him speak at a rally in Dowtown Chicago and I thought he was one of the most thoughtful and intelligent politicians I had ever seen. Most of us who volunteered for that campaign [...]

It would take a massive reversal of fortune and a comeback never before seen in American politics, but a McCain victory IS possible. Here’s how I see it breaking down.
In this map, you’ll see that McCain has won each tossup state and even taken a state or two that is comfortably in Obama’s column.
Is it [...]
Some random musings that came to me while wondering why there is no such thing as an “extra medium” sized shirt…
- The national voting apparatus is completely unprepared for the massive turnout that will happen tomorrow. The 50 state strategy and massive voter registration effort that Obama employed could blow up in his face with [...]

Are you wondering what specific ethical and economic reforms the candidates for President will implement if they win the election? One candidate gave a 22 minute speech in Green Bay, WI yesterday outlining his detailed plans. The other candidate? < crickets >

There is much hand wringing going on about whether or not Obama is going to fumble what should be a gimme election. Let’s review.
The sitting two term President has the lowest approval rating in history. The candidate of that President’s party is inexorably tied to his policies and positions. That candidate has displayed a massive [...]
Dear Barack,
I watched with interest your “interview” with Keith Olbermann tonight as well as your visit to the set of Bill O’Reilly’s nightly festival of the mildly moronic.
After watching your performance on both shows, let me give you a piece of advice as you plot campaign strategy over the next couple of weeks.
1.) Remember how [...]
Barack Obama waltzed into Bill O’Reilly’s studio for what guaranteed to be a cantankerous and difficult interview with the most arrogant commentator in the short and unfortunate history of cable news.
WE’LL DO IT LIVE!
What are the odds that either McCain or Palin would consent to an hour long interview with Keith Olbermann, O’Reilly’s twin…in Bizarro [...]

When my wife came home last night from a night out with her family, she shared an anecdote with me. Evidently, the topic of politics came up with her two sisters and Mother. One of my sisters-in-law remarked that there was no way she would vote for Obama and was glad Palin was added to [...]
Thoughts on watching the speeches at the RNC tonight as I put lipstick on my neighbor’s pit bull…
- We’ll start with good ‘ol Mitt Romney. It would seem that Romney dusted off the trusty “tax and spend liberal” speech given at previous RNC’s since oh, about 1960. As I watched him say that the change [...]
