An interesting new Gallup Poll asked:
Who do you LEAST want to see elected president this year.
40% - John McCain
36% - Hillary Clinton
20% - Barack Obama
More good news for Obama!
A disturbing side note: 12% of the people who chose Obama did so because they believe (incorrectly) that he is a Muslim.
I’m pretty sure, however, that this […]

I’m just watching last night’s SNL on the Tivo and it’s full of political stuff. But by far the best segment was this rant by Tracy Morgan about Barack Obama…
“Bitch may be the new Black, but Black is the new President, Bitch”

(huff post has links to some of the other video as well)

Check the video:

(Note the Clinton and McCain statements were virtually identical.) From HuffPo…
But as the CBC report and others makes clear, the core of the story turned out to be false. The Canadian government contacted Goolsbee to clarify Obama’s position on trade, not the reverse. Although Goolsbee did meet with Canada’s Chicago consul general […]

I think there has been some misunderstanding over my posts yesterday morning and Tuesday evening about racist attacks on Obama apparently having a significant effect on the results of the Ohio primary.
People will have differences of opinion about candidates on valid policy issues. Poor, rural voters feel that Clinton is stronger on NAFTA/trade - […]

… because I really don’t want to stir the pot any more, but… I think it’s too important to ignore.
It appears the Clinton campaign might have been doing some additional race-baiting.
Tensions are running high in Democratic circles between the supporters of senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — and nowhere is that more evident than […]

Honestly, I expected a narrow Clinton win here in Ohio (after all, if there is one thing we’re good at, it’s fucking things up for the rest of the country), but I was a little surprised by the margin. As I pointed out last night, exit polling wasn’t exactly flattering to Clinton voters, as […]

Watching the basketball game, but I was looking at CNN’s exit polling and something interesting jumped out at me…
Despite Clinton supporters claiming that Obama and his supporters are sexist, of people who answered the question “was the gender of the candidate important to you?” in the affirmative went for Clinton 57% to 43%. Voters […]

No shit.
Hillary Clinton told reporters that both she and the presumtive Republican nominee John McCain offer the experience to be ready to tackle any crisis facing the country under their watch, but Barack Obama simply offers more rhetoric. “I think you’ll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say,” she […]

will.i.am says go vote. God, I love this video.

How unfortunate: a Southern Ohio voter who is interested in Obama is concerned that he’s Muslim.

Of course, our pals in the right-wing blogosphere here in Ohio are more interested in “winning” by smearing Obama (by using his middle name, when he doesn’t, and other things to perpetuate the false “Muslim” smear) than in the truth. […]

At least, the CEO of the Orange County Register is for Obama.
Both men cited the teachings of various libertarian heavyweight philosophers, most notably John Stuart Mill, whom I heretofore believed to be an inventor of breakfast cereals. There was some back-and-forth over the practical vs. the philosophical approach to politics, and Flanders said that in […]

So, I may not be the best person to ask since I came into this debate feeling much more positive about Obama than Clinton, but if you were to ask - and I assume since you are reading my blog, you are asking - I think Obama won. For starters, he feels way more […]

Running now here in Ohio, reproduced here for the benefit of our viewers. (I’m still in for Obama.)

Hillary! You got some splainin’ to do!
Last night I read a post by The Chief Source’s Kyle Kutuchief. He asks a great question: “Why Won’t Hillary Debate in Cleveland?”. He has a hunch:
It is my opinion that Hillary Clinton and her campaign are afraid of Cuyahoga County. Hillary is going to […]

Just spoke with Cole Hatcher in OWU’s media and community relations department. They don’t have final confirmation of a Chelsea Clinton visit tomorrow, but they are aiming for a lunchtime visit. There is a rather large students for Obama delegation at OWU and they have been pretty active lately. If it’s lunchtime […]
