Have you all gone blind? Or insane? That’s one of the questions I keep asking myself this election cycle, because just about nothing I see makes any sense. I can see why the Hillary campaign is frustrated at her losing streak and that Ohio, Texas and Penn are her Alamo. Otherwise, it’s “shaka, when the […]
I believe in challenging the institution of party politics. I believe that everyone’s vote should be heard and counted. I believe that we need a mix of career politicians and outsiders. I do strongly believe that if there were significant changes to our government, America would be better off. I believe that someone’s religion, or […]
I’ve voted - if you can…have you?
I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears some further thought, analysis and discussion. The Ron Paul “Revolution” phenomenon is one of the most fascinating and unique trends in American political history. I’m not exaggerating - his campaign dynamic is the first of it’s kind. But it might also be the last, for multiple reasons and […]
The Democrat debates tonight were held in Hollywood. Since it snarled traffic really badly for me on my way to work, I’ve decided to vote Republican.
Yeah, I didn’t think you believed that for a second. I did watch the debate tonight, because Super Tuesday, AKA The Nearly National Primary, hits California on Tuesday. And since […]
Sounds impossible, right? What’s the point of spending millions on ads and primaries and caucuses if it all is meaningless? Well, there’s actually no guarantee that your vote will count - no matter what your state is. There’s no guarantee that the party will even choose a candidate on the ballot. This sort of thing […]
These current primaries are an excellent example of how broken the US voting system is. On the Democrat side, the biggest factor in Hillary’s “inevitability” is that her opposition is fractured. As the early frontrunner, right away her competitors positioned themselves as Anti-Hillary. But because there are (now, still) two opposition candidates, the Anti-Hillary vote […]
How’s that for news you aren’t hearing? But it’s absolutely true. Sure, Hillary did win the Nevada popular vote over Obama, 51%-45%. However - Obama won Nevada. Thanks to a quirk of math, Obama took home 13 NV delegates, and Hillary only got 12. Last time something like this happened, it went all the way […]
Hillary Clinton will win Michigan by a landslide. You can take that one to the bank.
What you can also take to the bank is that it won’t affect her delegate total at all. Currently, she leads Obama 183-78. And after Michigan it will be the same. And as for her “shocking” victory in New Hampshire, […]
Obama won the Iowa caucus, which brought him slightly closer to catching Hillary for the Democrat nomination.
Wait, what? Catch Hillary? Yeah. Once again, the media is blowing Iowa WAY out of proportion and completely ignoring how the nomination process works. First off - Obama’s win wasn’t as huge as the media would like you to […]
