Hillary and NAFTA (Sitting in a tree)


Hey PA, you listening? Don’t get duped like Ohio did!

5 strategy meetings for approval
Helped to block labor and environmental opposition
Sure doesn’t sound like opposition “from day one” to me. I wonder if the good union people in her commercials could tell she was lying to their faces:

Remember when John Edwards took exception to […]

Why I Want Edwards to Endorse Hillary


I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this “who will Edwards endorse” question. My original thinking was that John would be an absolute fool and sully his reputation by endorsing Hillary Clinton. Obviously, his campaign message was one of change and he painted Hillary as a very part of what needed to change […]

John Edwards is starting to piss me off


Can I ask WTF he is waiting for? My man is playing it safe and looking to latch on to either camp. I find this weak, uninspiring, and typical. Not something I expected from the fighter from the Carolinas. My original ticket was Edwards/Obama and I think they could have done […]

John Edwards Movie Trailer (Video)


I hear this is playing on TV in South Carolina. Not bad. Not bad at all. Old boy could well get 2nd in SC.

Edwards hits Obama for his Reagan statements


Yesterday, we pointed out Obama’s - let’s call it unwise - desire to compare himself to Reagan, and explained why it wasn’t such a great idea. John Edwards unloaded with both barrels, underlining what I find attractive about the idea of Edwards as President.
John Edwards ripped Barack Obama for praising the way Ronald Reagan […]

Edwards was country when country wasn’t cool


This video is a bit long by YouTube standards, but really good. You may recall Brian’s post about “Deer Hunting with Jesus” in which Joe Bageant tries to explain the intricacies of the southern mind from his perspective in rural Western Virginia. I read that book shortly after Brian posted and finished it […]

Plants for Hillary: Edwards Camp Keeps Swinging (Video)


This is hilarious. I will not make any jokes about the Dem. Party Chair being nicknamed “The Fern”. OK. Yes I will. LOL
The Edwards camp has set up a site - www.plantsforhillary.com - that takes jabs at Hillary’s Bush-like tendency to have softballs tossed her way. You can even submit […]

Same Sex Marriage Now Legal In Polk County, Iowa!


No comment needed except… 1) Wow! and 2) It will be interesting to see how this story will play out alongside the presidential primary election cycle. Surely there will be a hailstorm of commentary on that over the next few days.

DES MOINES, Iowa - A Polk County judge on Thursday struck down Iowa’s law banning gay marriage and ordered the county recorder to permit gay and lesbian couples to marry.

Less than two hours after word of the ruling was publicized, two Des Moines men applied at the Polk County recorder’s office for a marriage license, and for the first time the application was accepted. The process of granting a license to marry in Iowa takes three days.

A pivotal moment?


I agree with Matthews and Olbermann - this man, this moment, might well be one that changes how Americans view health care. Or more precisely, how tolerant they are of how their elected officials view health care.

For at least four years Americans have wanted universal health care by a 2 to 1 margin. […]

John Edwards: Hair (Video)


I once advocated John Edwards shave his head to deflect the expensive haircut parroting that was hurting him. While they opted not to go with this risky outsider type of tactic, they did do something. A YouTube video debuted at last night’s debate.
It’s well done, but might do more to remind […]

Obama: The Musical



John Edwards Should Shave His Head


The flap over expensive haircuts has not been adequately dealt with and in my view has gotten out of hand and will eventually do big harm to the Edwards campaign unless it is handled in a forceful, creative, and aggressive way.
John Edwards should get his head shaved - on national TV - by […]
