HuffPo has an article declaring the Democrat race to be over.
Oh pluuuuueeeeeaazzze let this be so! If the press manage to wrangle one more narrative twist out of this story, I swear, I’l scream and stamp my feet like a school girl. Surely now, with Obama winning so convincingly in North Carolina and Clinton just […]
According to ABC, a heated exchange between Bill Clinton and Bill Richardson (a former cabinet member in WJC’s administration) has shocked super-delegates in attendance.
Bill is declaring (to anyone who’ll listen) that “Obama cannot win”. Apparently, old Bill was “out of control”. Nice.
‘It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.’

Oh Sweet Valley High, this is pure gold.
Hillary’s excuse for her bullshit claims that she was sent to Bosnia on security matters and ran from the aeroplane under sniper fire, was that she’s tired. Or “sleep-deprived?” as she puts it. Rather makes her famous 3am ad look a bit daft now, doesn’t it?
Who do you […]
Not quite sure why CentreRight is attacking Hillary Clinton’s campaign?
It would take some effort to separate her and McCain by anything more than a gnat’s knacker on anything substantial. If Clinton has achieved anything in the last 8-years or so, it’s the knowledge that she’s the safe Centre Right candidate in this election.
Okay, she’s playing […]
lol.
It seems that Ken Livingstone and Porsche can’t agree on which of their polls represents the views of the people of London. I guess this would be a classic example of framed questioning, and another reason why polling is deeply, deeply flawed and is almost meaningless.
Context: Porsche are suing the London authority over plans to […]
Garry says: -
Representative democracy by definition is going to involve politicians. Unfortunately, such systems tend to generate a separate political class, a self-serving insulated elite who trust the people about as much as the people trust them. Their central interest is always likely to be persuading enough voters to elect them, something not renowned for […]
She did it.
While the win in Texas is nowhere near as decisive enough to really shake up Obama’s lead, the fact that Clinton won both of the big contests last night means that the haemorrhaging of super delegates over to Obama can be stemmed, and therefore her chance off overturning his lead in the popular […]
It’s obviously a big day for the Democratic Party. Unless the Hilldog can pull a huge win in one of the biggies, then she’s over. Passed on. No more. Ceased to be. Expired. Gone to meet her maker. In fact, even if she does win Texas or Ohio, unless she wins very big she’ll be […]
On Monday neocon hack Bill Kristol wrote in the NYT about how Republicans must get behind John McCain in a general election: -
But I’d say this to them: When the primaries are over, if McCain has won the day, don’t sulk and don’t sit it out. Don’t pretend there’s no difference between a candidate […]
So Super Tuesday didn’t sort the wheat from the chaff.
Clinton came out of the primaries with around 80 more delegates than Obama; but, as The Guardian points out, Barack Obama won the most States and has enjoys a favourable lead in seven of the remaining contests. Obama also enjoys a stonking lead in the money […]
Snowflake has written an excellent analysis of why she thinks a Vietnam veteran can never become president.
The following post was written for Liberal Conspiracy.
Running Mates are often seen as crucial to a nominee’s chances of winning a general election. George W. Bush, as we know, chose the vastly experienced Dick Cheney as his running mate in 2000, an appointment which has seen the hawkish, Nebraska-born former congressman from Wyoming, become arguably […]
I’ve been reading around the US press’ post-mortem of the Iowa caucus. The general election will be Obama vs. McCain.
Huckabee won’t have similar evangelical support to carry him in New Hampshire and further afield. Romney is over - people aren’t buying what he’s selling (credit: Slate Gabfest). McCain always tuns out the vote in New […]
Obama and Huckabee win. The ultimate victory for change.
Watch the GOP attack dogs try and take down the “Huckster”. Mike Huckabee doesn’t represent the big business Republican wing. He’s a genuine evangelical conservative - someone with Bible-based principles, not just a prick for hire. I don’t like Huckabee’s view on the role of Jesus in […]
