Beating the Weak Horse
I’m not really sure what fully to make of this: But what makes me angry was Kerry and his gang’s inability to take advantage of the situation. I may regret saying this later, but fuck it — they should be lined up and shot. There’s no reason they should’ve lost to this joker. “I voted [...]
Man, the Sour Grapes!
Jesse Taylor links to a Salon story today on the President’s poll numbers. Says Eric Boehlert in the article: Republicans like to brag about the sweeping mandate that President Bush received on Election Day. But as he prepares for his second term, Bush approaches Inauguration Day with historically weak job-approval ratings, according to a series [...]
Which Came First, the Primary or the Nomination?
Jim Geraghty at The Kerry Spot has an interesting quote about a Democratic suggestion to nudge New Hampshire and Iowa out of their early primary positions. He quotes Clinton war-room guy Simon Rosenberg as saying: “I have no problem with Iowa and New Hampshire being part of the early states, but their days as the [...]
Breaking the Law.
Last week, I noted the e-mail from the MoveOn PAC Commitee head about how they had bought the party with their contribution and that they wanted it back.

Well, the problems noted were “…documented cases of long lines, a shortage of machines and a pattern of problems in predominantly black neighborhoods”. Sure, that’s good [...]

That seems to be implied (along with abortion) by the huge “moral values” heading that was important to so many voters. I’m not sure that’s true. First, the [...]
Why Did The Democrats Lose the Election?
Yep, I’ve read and heard a gazillion autopsies on this election already – all of them asking the same question: “How could the Democrats lose the election?”. Well, I asked that myself. Actually, I asked the proper question, “How could the Democrats lose the election so badly?”. It’s not as if the President was an [...]
Blogs for Bush asks a pretty good question today. Now that Bush has won the election and Kerry has conceded, what are you looking forward to seeing happen in Bush’s second term? Instead of answering it in his comments, I want to answer it here, beause it’s kind of lengthy. Well, he got my vote [...]
