Pennsylvania Primary

  • Posted by Nacho
  • April 23, 2008

Whew! The Pennsylvania primaries are over. Maybe. I think we are going to see much of the same intensity in Indiana. Not necessarily a bad thing in my book. As expected there is tons of spin from both sides, and the MSM (mainstream media) is making all sorts of predictions about the next states. Ind ...>

Debate? Don’t Drink the Koolaid

A quick note on last night's debate in Pennsylvania between Sen.'s Obama and Clinton: What a waste eh? Millions of dollars poured into such events only to see ABC turn it into more of what we see everyday: a spectacle where the media becomes its own glorious subject. There are many things I want to ...>

Bruce Springsteen has come out in support of Sen. Obama's candidacy. You can read the full letter on his website, but here's a taste of it: "After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator Obama is the be ...>

Clinging to Religion, Bitter and Frustrated?

Is the dust settling a bit from the Obama "bitter" fake controversy? If so, here's the issue that really animated me, and one that has not been discussed much at all in Wow. Stop. I was about to say "has not been discussed much at all in the media." This is why you need friends to blog. They can ...>

Swiftboating Obama?

  • March 28, 2008

Here's an interesting piece by David Michael Green on the "swiftboating of Obama." Do read it, I think it makes sense. The whole business with Rev. Wright has been stretched beyond its breaking point. The comparison Mr. Green draws between Obama and Bush is quite to the point. ...>

Barack Obama in Salem, Oregon

  • March 21, 2008

Today I had a chance to see Sen. Obama at a stop he made in Salem, OR. Part of a few stops in various towns, Sen. Obama delivered a fairly basic stump speech, followed by about twenty five minutes of questions and answers. Unlike the "town hall" meetings of Mr. Cheney and Mr. Bush during the last cy ...>

Obama’s Speech, Identifying our Suffering

  • March 19, 2008

If you have not yet seen or heard Senator Obama's speech on race do yourself a favor and watch it. It is a good speech. Timely, quite apropos, transforming of potential weakness into an asset, confronting of real issues, and broadly connecting to various folks. Obama pulls off, albeit with less rhet ...>

Ferraro, Clinton, Obama

Recent comments by Geraldine Ferraro: “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.” Then, after the expected criticis ...>

An Alternative Read on the Win

The Onion hits us with a nice dose of perspective by incongruity: "After emerging victorious from one of the most pivotal elections in history, president-elect Barack Obama will assume the role of commander in chief on Jan. 20, shattering a racial barrier the United States is, at long last, shitty ...>

God Bless the Planet?

From Watching America's translation of French reporting on Obama's victory (from La Provence.com): "The real revolution in the United States will come not on the day a black president is elected but on the day a president of any color says, ‘God bless the planet,’ instead of, ‘God bless Ame ...>
