If any endorsement has made me think I should further investigate Barrack Obama, it was the Kennedy endorsement in the NY Times that did it. No, I am not referring to Senator Ted Kennedy. I already told you that I laughed so hard at his endorsement and the irony involved in it, my stomach hurt. … Continue reading The Other Kennedy Endorsement
I cannot believe that I was the only one watching Senator Ted Kennedy today as he endorsed Barrack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination who was thinking of the irony in what Kennedy had to say. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the words Kennedy was professing that I had a stomach… Continue reading Kennedy Endorses Obama
This week is a political junkie overload. Beware! It all actually started Saturday and will run for ten days. It is almost too much for me to even think about as it will be big when it all ends in the wee morning hours of February 6th on the east coast. Saturday was the South… Continue reading Political Junkies Take Heed
I have said it before. I include it in my profile on many, including dating, sites. I am a political junkie. I knew John Edwards was making a speech today. I knew I wouldn’t be able to listen. I went looking for the copy and found it. It is lengthy but well worth reading. It… Continue reading A Speech Worth Reading
We all should, as adults, trot off to the ballot box at least once a year. Actually, if you live in New York State, it is twice a year as school district elections in all but the Big Five Districts are held in May and municipal and state elections in November. We should all, also,… Continue reading What do you know about the political process?
Okay, I work in the political arena. I have heard the stories of opponents registering the other candidate’s name as a website domain. I have heard stories of opponents looking for dirt on other candidates. Today, I saw the proof in the pudding. A website had been wiped out. Seems, according to the candidate, a… Continue reading Politics – The Ugly Side
I wrote, earlier this week, about whether the GOP is watching the Democratic gatherings and if the GOP will learn from the appearances of their soon-to-be competition. Now comes a bigger question. Just who, or what special interest group, do you have to be to get a sit down with the major contenders? As I… Continue reading Do politics cater to the special interest groups?
I think I would be very mad if I were running for president. First, they have me politicking earlier and earlier than ever before. I am wondering what would happen if we all ignored the 18 declared candidates of both parties until November or December. I am sure that would be a disaster for media… Continue reading Presidential Politics and Debates
I know no one could ever tell but I am really not biased. Yes, I did a huge, extremely long blog entry on the first democratic debate and nothing on either of the two republican debates but I swear I can justify. First off, I am a registered democrat. This means I will really only… Continue reading I’m Really Not Biased
I had toyed with a run for board of education again this year. I did run one time before but lost the seat. Now, after having made time to go to the board meeting last evening, I am glad I made the decision to not run. First, at the previous meeting, the superintendent had asked… Continue reading Let’s All Act Like Adults
