I want to remind everyone that on Saturday @ 2:30, TV One will have a live webcast of the Heartland Presidential Forum, featuring several leading Democratic Presidential candidates, and Republican candidates as well. This forum will feature candidates answering questions from the audience (and I don’t expect that any candidate will be […]

I find it interesting that recent polls in Iowa show that Mitt Romney is slipping a bit to Mike Huckabee. Now you might have thought that such a drop could be attributed to the accusations made by the Rudy Giuliani campaign about Romney’s record on taxes and healthcare while Governor of Massachusetts.
“Romney […]

In a little less than 6 weeks America will decide which candidates will be running for the Presidency of the United States. This next election will be perhaps the most critical for America in decades. Definitely for those Americans that have grown up with the internet, cell phones, and cable television this […]

While there is a huge amount of humor being derived in the major news media with the announcement of who recently contributed (questionably goaded by a media source) to Presidential candidate Ron Paul, I’m not laughing. It’s not that Ron Paul has gained massive donations via the internet, in possibly the shortest […]

I find it interesting that when it comes to American Presidential elections, it’s possible to present part of plans that don’t work and score points in polls because your opponents plan is even less likely to work. Take the recent hot air being blown around by the 2 leading democratic candidates. Senators […]

So everybody knows that politicians lie. Whether it’s a local assemblyman or a Presidential candidate, we all know that at least some of the time they all tell untruths. But when are they lying, and how much of what they say is a shade of grey?
I recently found a site that can […]

I have mentioned several videos about various Presidential candidates over the past few months and weeks. I’ve presented humorous videos, and serious commentary. And I hope you have enjoyed them all.
But I have focused primarily on the leading Presidential candidates. So in the interest of nuetrality and fair coverage I want to […]

In light of the consistent reversals of positions, incomplete answers and anything but subtle switches of subject from the issue at hand I was wondering about a couple of questions that the Presidential candidates could answer yes or no to. No trick questions, no bias based on political affiliation. Just something simple […]

In my daily search for news on the Presidential candidates and issues that the next President will be dealing with I have run into a recent report that has disturbing implications. We have all heard the saying that politicians are not to be trusted. That our elected officials will say virtually anything […]

Ok, I just saw the Swift Kids ads that are appearing on television. I am insulted and offended. Not because they are attacking Democratic candidates, attack ads seem to be par for course in politics today, but because they are using kids and are themed in the most insulting manner.
I realize that […]

Some Democrats want to hear more answers about running away from Iraq from Presidential candidates. Some Republicans want to hear more about how the economy will be maintained or improved. And most Americans want to hear about how their ability to receive healthcare and a decent education for their kids will become […]

So what might be more troubling, a politician that won’t answer questions they are asked or a politician that sets up the questions they do chose to answer? And what does it mean if both come from the same politician?
This is not a new type of question. For a long time politicians […]

Sometime short and simple is the best answer to a question. That is unless you are a Presidential candidate at a debate. There is nothing that highlights the nature of almost every candidate at this time more than this video.
Note that this is not an endorsement of John Edwards. This is also […]

I have read, and heard, laughter at the thought of Mike Gravel, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and other candidates’ chances of becoming President in 2008. The word long shot is not even close to the expectations of even the most hopeful of supporters, yet they have all made the best effort they […]

I want to be President of the United States. You hear that from Republicans and Democrats. The debates are filled with candidates that want to lead this nation. And all but one of them is a woman, or Black. So what.
Yesterday, the front-running Democratic candidate, Senator Clinton, came out in response to […]

Well the latest Democratic debate was quite interesting. Allegations that Sen. Hillary Clinton is duplicitous were coupled with ambiguous answers to direct questions. Perhaps the best example of this was when Tim Russert asked
“MR. RUSSERT: Senator Clinton, Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer has proposed giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. You […]
