Seems that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has spurned Senator Clinton’s (D-IL,AR,DC,NY) suggestion that he take the Vice Presidential slot on the Democratic ticket.
This seems to make sense, on the face of it. His rejection, that is.
Obama leads Clinton in the delegate count.
Obama leads Clinton in the popular vote.
Obama has won more states than Clinton.
But Obama [...]
Funny!
Now, I don’t care for Senator Clinton (D-IL-AR-DC-NY) one bit. But she’s more qualified than Senator Obama (D-IL).
But still not as qualified at Senator McCain (R-AZ).
But, yeah. This was funny.
The New York Times … among other news outlets … is reporting that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has been caught in a prostitution ring.
Spitzer is a Democrat, which really doesn’t mean anything, since sexual misconduct isn’t the domain of one party or another. Prostitution has been around a lot longer than Democrats and Republicans.
But [...]

Fox News reports that the Obama camp is upset by comments made by Representative Steve King (R, IA-5).
King told the Spencer (Iowa) Daily Reporter:
“I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than [...]

Roger Simon wrote over at Politico that the Democratic National Committee has five options for dealing with their mess in Michigan and Florida.
He said they were:
No delegates from either state
Seat the delegates that the voters picked
Split the delegates evenly between Clinton and Obama
Let them hold another primary
Wait for somebody to ride in and save the [...]

Now the New York Times is questioning Senator John McCain’s eligibility to be President of the United States.
Yes, the same John McCain that previously ran for President in 2000. But he wasn’t the GOP front-runner then.
And it was raised by the same New York Times that made unfounded allegations of an “inappropriate relationship” between the [...]

News heads have been talking about Cincinnati radio host Bill Cunningham referring to Barack Hussein Obama as “Barack Hussein Obama.” Most of the talk … and writing in print and on blogs … has focused on what Arizona Senator John Sidney McCain, III, did in response.
You see, Cunningham was warming up the crowd at a [...]

Ralph Nader announced on NBC’s Meet The Press today that he’s running for President.
Good for him.
And good for the country.
You see, he’ll draw votes from the Democratic nominee in November. And that’s good news for the GOP.
And if he helps get Senator John McCain elected, he’ll have helped America greatly.
Now, when New York Senator Hillary [...]

I was supporting Fred Thompson in the race for President.
But Fred dropped out. And we’re left with four on the GOP side: John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Ron Paul.
We can strike my voting for Ron Paul because … well … he’s an idiot. As are many of his supporters. Not all, but the [...]

Well, now. Fred Thompson … my candidate since the day after the November 2004 election … dropped out of the race today.
Oh, well.
Some — not all, but some — of Thompson supporters are sounding like some of the nuts that support Ron Paul:
I won’t vote.
I’ll vote for a Democrat.
I’ll vote for a 3rd party candidate.
All [...]
