    Super Tuesday is Super

    Published February 5th, 2008

    I’ve voted - if you can…have you?

    Ron Paul Revolt (Ross Perot Evolved)

    Published February 1st, 2008

    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 […]

    Decisions, Decisions

    Published January 31st, 2008

    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 […]

    Maybe, Just Maybe - None of Your Votes Count

    Published January 24th, 2008

    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 […]

    Is Hillary Unstoppable? Is the GOP Winner Simply the Strongest Loser?

    Published January 21st, 2008

    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 […]

    Obama Wins Nevada, Ron Paul Comes in Second

    Published January 21st, 2008

    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 […]

    In Michigan and Florida, No One Can Hear You Vote

    Published January 9th, 2008

    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’s “Big” Win

    Published January 7th, 2008

    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 […]

    Iowa Caucus 2008

    Published January 4th, 2008

    The Iowa Caucus, as a predictive tool, is pretty much worthless. They’ve chosen the president correctly (in a contested race) only twice - Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. Bill Clinton only got about 3% in 1992. Iowa is barely worth anything in the total delegate count - as well it should be, since it’s […]

    TSA = Totally Stupid Agency

    Published December 27th, 2007

    The TSA is good for nothing. Totally worthless. A complete waste of whatever money is put into it. There is simply no doubt in my mind.
    If you pay attention to the reports, the TSA fails repeatedly on pretty much every test given to it. They missed 90% of explosive devices at a recent test at […]
