‘Nuff said

Contender Chris Dodd put together this chart which shows the amount of time that each candidate got in last night's debate. The fact that "moderator" Wolf Blitzer got the third highest total should tell you something. Look - we all know that the MSM has decided that Obama, Clinton and Edwards are the only candidates … Continue reading ‘Nuff said →

CNN debate tonight

Seems that lots of folks are looking for the debate schedule as they keep hitting my earlier post on the DNC-santioned debates. Tonight's debate on CNN is not on that list. Nevertheless, eight Democratic presidential hopefuls will square off at 7pm tonight, with ten Republicans taking the same stage in New Hampshire on Tuesday. I … Continue reading CNN debate tonight →

Richardson on MTP

Painful. That's the word that came to mind as I watch Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson on Meet the Press yesterday. I'm rarely up early enough on Sunday morning to catch the show so I'm not familiar with how host Tim Russert handles interviews. Others are - and apparently his skewering of Democratic candidates is … Continue reading Richardson on MTP →

Two stand out: Richardson & Huckabee

At least according to Marc Hansen of the DesMoines Register: ...this column's vote for the most intriguing Republican candidate nobody's heard of goes to ... Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas. [...] Huckabee is a crazy hybrid candidate. He has this oddball theory on taxes, which happens to coincide with the thinking of most Americans. … Continue reading Two stand out: Richardson & Huckabee →

Double standards

With both a woman and a black as serious contenders for the presidential nomination, it has been interesting to watch the inevitable double standards being applied. In the case of Hillary Clinton, it has been obvious. After the so-called "debate," the conversation about Hillary was about her "tone," whether she came off as "shrill" and … Continue reading Double standards →

A little disappointed

So I went to this event tonight at the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg hosted by the New Mexico Amigos, a nonprofit organization headed by Governor Bill Richardson. I, like most of the guests, thought that the Governor - a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president - would be there. Unfortunately, Richardson was not able … Continue reading A little disappointed →
