The Never-Ending Presidential Campaign: What?s it cost us?
2008-05-29 20:54:00 You’ve probably noticed a relatively new phenomenon in American politics: The Never-Ending Presidential Campaign. (Might make a good animated flick, eh?)

By February of the next year, look at all the Democrats who had tossed in the proverbial hat ? Sen. Joe Biden, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Chris Dodd, former Sen. John Edwards, Rep.

Racism and sexism in the 2008 presidential campaign
2008-03-15 15:16:00 You must read this very insightful and well-written post on Zuky, a blog I will definitely be bookmarking (Hat tip to Racialicious). Some things you should know:- Kai, who wrote the post, is neither a Clinton or Obama supporter, but believes he will vote for Cynthia McKinney.- Heart, and all of my new friends from Women's Space, I have learned the error of making blanket assumptions about white women not supporting black female presidential candidates. I am too young to remember the Chisholm campaign and I encourage anyone with facts that disprove Zuky's statement to comment here, or better, on her post....All forms of oppression do share certain characteristics, but each one operates along a different axis of life. Sexism often operates in the most intimate settings, as sexist men often live with, marry, and rely upon women; but racism tends to flourish on a more coldly institutional level, as racist white folks seek to structure their lives precisely so that there is no intimate...

Romney suspends presidential campaign
2008-02-08 02:55:00 It's pretty much John McCain for the Republican nomination now. Mitt Romney has basically quit the race: Mitt Romney suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Thursday, saying if he continued it would "forestall the launch of a national campaign and be making it easier for Senator Clinton or Obama to win." "In this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. This is not an easy decision. I hate to lose," the former Massachusetts governor said. "If this were only about me, I'd go on. But it's never been only about me. I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, in this time of war I feel I have to now stand aside for our party and for our country." Well I guess that makes my voting choices a little easier. It now appears that my voting choices are John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, or Ron Paul if he decides to run as an Independent. Maybe it's just me, but ther...

Today In Presidential Campaign History
2008-01-31 00:31:00 Three separate stories today in our regular look at Today in Presidential Campaign History: In light of two candidates dropping out of the race today, we look at an article 24 years ago today from the Christian Science Monitor at why the John Glenn campaign failed to catch on: What went wrong? Plenty. Glenn failed to organize. He failed to ”press the flesh,” New Hampshire-style. He failed to line up local supporters. He failed to take advantage of opportunities. Dan Calegari, local Manchester organizer for Gary Hart’s campaign, shakes his head in disbelief when he talks about the Glenn campaign here. It seems to lack ”astuteness,” he says. Mr. Calegari gives this example: A few weeks ago, the mayor’s office in Manchester staged a Christmas luncheon for about 1,500 senior citizens. It was a perfect opportunity for a little politicking with all those voters in one spot, especially for a candidate like Glenn, who is making his appeal to middle-of-the...

Obama knows how to work a crowd. He moves people. ‘Oh, no!’ you say. ‘A political speech! I’d rather drink poison.’ No, you wouldn’t, you silly goose. It’s a good speech. We promise.

Sam Brownback Makes an Exit from Presidential Campaign
2007-10-21 08:49:00 Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) signs books at a conservative family values group. Photo by REUTERS.On Friday, October 19, 2007, Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) announced that he had found an exit strategy, from the presidential campaign that is. The Republican Senator from Kansas tried to sell himself on being the true family values candidate but conservatives apparently were not interested. Brownback raised only $926,000 last quarter, which is fine if you are running for county clerk, but not for president. Brownback made his emotional announcement from Topeka, Kansas with his wife Mary and his family at his side. "Today I'm ending my candidacy. My yellow brick road just came short of the White House this time," Brownback said. Oh nice one, he?s from Kansas, a ?Wizard of Oz? reference. "We've really been held (back) early on by the media saying 'we don't think he can do it,'" Brownback said. Brownback?s support was waning and had sunk into the single digit...

Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign should be over
2007-09-15 00:27:00 Well, so much for the possibility that we?ll ever hear this phrase in the future: President Dennis Kucinich. The forgettable Ohio representative, who?s running for president, has always distanced himself from the rest of the Democrats, but his latest behavior has gone far beyond his normal strange rantings. Kucinich was the only congressman this week to vote against the House?s Sept. 11 commemoration resolution, which established Sept. 11 as a day of remembrance, extending sympathies to families of victims who died and honoring those who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Perhaps more damaging to what?s left of his political career was Kucinich?s meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad during a tour of the Middle East. During the interview, Kucinich said the war in Iraq was based on lies, said the United States should pay war reparations to Iraqis and said he was honored to meet with Assad. Assad, remember, is president of Syria, a country long known to be friendly with a v...
