Last night Sarah Palin gave a speech and took part in a scripted Q & A (a far cry from the impressive Q & A President Obama had with the Republicans last week) at a “Tea Party Convention” in Nashville, Tennessee.
She gave a disastrous performance that is made even more pathetic by the fact […]

If you haven’t seen this yet, you need to. It’s President Obama’s question and answer session with the Republican obstructionists in congress at a GOP retreat:

Obama refuted every single Republican talking point with reason & facts. All of the Republican talking points are either outright lies or distortions of fact.
This becomes obvious when their […]

President Obama gave an amazing speech tonight in which he called on politicians in both parties in both the House & the Senate to get past playing political games and to actually work towards the good of the country for a change. Watching this speech tonight was like watching an adult speaking to a room […]

With not much to say about the 2012 presidential campaign in January of 2010 (Obama’s approval rating is at a decent 50% as of the most recent Gallup polling and he leads all potential Republican opponents in polls) it seems like a reasonable time to take a look back at the 2008 presidential campaign which […]

As bad as the unemployment problem in the US is right now, it’d probably be at least 1.6 million jobs worse if McCain/Palin had won last November.
The Republican approach to fixing economic problems is basically this: “Do nothing and eventually the market will correct itself.” This is exactly what Republican Herbert Hoover did from […]

Despite the President’s approval ratings slipping below 50% for the first time recently, Obama still leads his potential 2012 GOP challengers in head to head match-ups in a new set of PPP polls:
Obama 49% Mike Huckabee 44%
Obama 48% Mitt Romney 43%
Obama 51% Sarah Palin 43%
Obama 46% Ron Paul 38%

The winner of the Health Care Reform Video Challenge has been announced:

The media seems far more focused on Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney seems to be seen as “next in line” for the Republican nomination but the latest Gallup polling shows Mike Huckabee may actually be the 2012 front runner at this point (a full 3 years from the 2012 general election!)
According to this poll […]

A lot of the talking head political pundits (both Republican operatives and so-called “journalists”) are trying to spin the story that the Republican wins of the Virginia & New Jersey Governor races has something to do with President Obama and the national Republican party (that it somehow spells big wins for them in 2010.)
But […]

I bought Renegade: The Making of a President by Richard Wolffe over the weekend and I’m finding it quite fascinating thus far (I’m on page 105.) It’s a close-up look at the 2008 Presidential campaign from the perspective of Barack Obama and his team and as someone who followed the 2008 election extremely closely (I […]
