Yo quero Hispanic Vote?
Posted in Republicans, Would-Be Presidents, elections, politics on August 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In yet another exercise in political suicide, the Republicans seem to be conceding the Hispanic vote to the Dems this election cycle. With the exception of John McCain, all of the Republican candidates are encountering “scheduling” conflicts on the date of the Spanish language Univision debate.
Here’s Kos:
What’s obviously happening is that they don’t want to [...]
Republicans, contraception, and more on the political brain …

In The Political Brain•, Westen mentions that the Republicans are remarkably good at making their values appear to be the values of the majority of Americans when it comes to controversial issues, even though the polls consistently show that the Democratic positions are actually more similar. This is due to two things, Westen says. First, [...]
Yeah, but which candidate has the most facebook friends?

Tech Daily has “tech policy profiles” of all the presidential candidates:
Presidential candidates have made plenty of headlines this year for their increasing use of technology to campaign, but they also have views on technology issues. In this special series, Technology Daily offers a detailed look at their views on matters facing the growing tech [...]

Looks like Governor (and Democratic Presidential Candidate) Bill Richardson is going through all the motions necessary to implement a state sponsored medical marijuana program without actually doing it.
Gov. Bill Richardson ordered the state Health Department on Friday to resume planning of a medical marijuana program despite the agency’s worries about possible federal prosecution.
However, the governor [...]
Nevermind your position on health care — how nervous were you when you tied the knot?

In response to Brides Decide, a new get-out-the-vote Web site aimed at brides and sponsored by the Knot, the Nest and the Wedding Channel, Tracy Clark-Flory at Broadsheet asks: At what point is it no longer an admirable attempt at targeting female voters but an insult to womankind?
Um, I think this IS that point. Since [...]
The Straw(man) Poll
Posted in Republicans, Would-Be Presidents on August 13, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I agree with Dan Balz over at the WaPo that the Republican Iowa Straw Poll is no longer needed or useful (assuming it ever was). A lot of fake folksiness and rubbing elbows to raise money and give off the illusion of relating to the common man, if you ask me.
And since Giuliani, McCain, and Fred [...]

Via Lawyers, Guns, and Money.
People who know me know that I hate the general level of incompetence and sheer stupidity of what passes for journalism nowadays. I subscribe to the radical belief that articles should be informative, filled with facts, identify sources of information, acknowledge bias when it exists, and unequivocally state when someone is [...]
Clinton, the pink jacket, and thoughts about cleavage
Posted in Feminism, Gender, Snarking, Would-Be Presidents on July 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’ll admit it. I saw the headline of this column (“Pretty Formidable in Pink“) and I was so ready to pounce with my snark claws extended. Here comes another vacuous article about the fact that Hillary is a woman and whether the country is ready and the other day we saw cleavage and did we [...]

This is hilarious.
“Oh shit, that kid,” Nixon said when told by his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, of (Fred) Thompson’s appointment on Feb. 22, 1973.
“Well, we’re stuck with him,” Haldeman said.
In a meeting later that day in the Old Executive Office Building, Baker assured Nixon that Thompson was up to the task. “He’s [...]
Giuliani debates in TNR
Posted in Reproductive Rights, Republicans, Would-Be Presidents on March 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In a poll released late last week, Rudy Giuliani (40 percent) dominated John McCain (18 percent) among Republican primary voters.
Interesting four-part series at The New Republic about whether or not Giuliani is a viable Republican presidential candidate. Michael Tomasky, editor at large of The American Prospect, starts off saying there’s no chance:
We must never [...]
