This may be the year that ordinary folks take back the political process from the professionals. Party bosses used to control their party's choice of political candidate. Then, the primaries gave that choice back to the people. However, with the advent of mass communication, party elites once again wrestled control of the process away from o

Ron Paul came in 5th place in South Carolina, but 2nd place in Nevada. His national poll numbers still hover at around 5-6%. The question is, should supporters admit defeat, or continue to fight as if they have a real shot at winning. This post looks at a scenario laid out by James Ostrowski at LewRockwell which suggests a plausible (altho

We decided to check out John McCain who came to woo voters at the Versailles restaurant in Little Havana/Miami. Why his campaign chose the particular location of the smallest room on the block is beyond me – there was only room for a handful of non-press peons such as ourselves. Jonathan was actually disappointed – he wanted to

It’s often tough to recognize. Perhaps the joy of seeing your first story on the front pa

now comes word that she is trying to get Barack Obama’s pledged delegates to switch their vote to her.

As I sit here in New Hampshire, and my primary vote has long since passed, and I watch the rest of the primaries play out, I am left asking myself if the primary system is flawed.

Every four years the New Hampshire primary comes under attack by other states who try to become first in the nation primary states. When I see my

On March 14th I endorsed Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama for the Democrat nomination. This was not easy for me to do, and I have felt dirty ever since. After Obama’s pastor’s videos surfaced on the internet I could no longer route for him to beat Hillary. I found his anti-American hatred to be troubling to say the least.

In a primary that everyone thought would be over after February, in a state that has never really had a real choice in presidential primaries, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama are actively campaigning in Indiana.

The super delegates of the Democratic party are shirking their responsibility to pick who they wish to vote for.

North Carolina and Indiana may be the last, best chance for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to make a statement in terms of delegates before this phase of the process concludes on June 3. Of the 492 delegates from the remaining contests, today's contests in Indiana and North Carolina account for nearly half (44%). A split (Ind

Things will be even more interesting if Hillary runs over Obama in West Virginia and Kentucky. And what a drama it would be if Democrats let Michigan and Florida have their say so. Yes, these two states broke Howard Dean's rule by changing their primary dates, but who'd have thought this race would be so damn exciting?
