I’m not going to cover the details of the policy part of Tuesday night’s debate, because it was pretty much boilerplate and if you want to read the debate transcript, you can find copies all over the Web. No, my focus for this post is on the perception ball as it was handled and mishandled by […]
The image could not have been more stark: Hillary Clinton at Tuesday night’s debate surrounded by three men. Her opponent, Barack Obama, may have not been completely status quo, thanks to his status as a biracial American. But her two inquisitors, Brian Williams and Tim Russert, epitomized the white-men-in-suits class that dominates the media hierarchy like a […]
Ah, back to the grind. I took a few days off from the blogosphere, because I’m in that mode shared by millions of American voters: looking for a day job. Blogging is great, but I wanna get PAID, people! (Funniest thing? Democratic and “progressive” organizations won’t hire me — could it be that I’m too […]
Hillary Clinton’s perceptual baggage is coming back to haunt her. As I noted in my interview in December with news anchor Mike Walter on the CBS affiliate WUSA Channel 9, that baggage has been around for a while. Clinton’s tone of voice has also been a persistent liability that I brought up with the usual […]
Last night, Wisconsin became the ninth state in a row to hand Barack Obama a victory over Hillary Clinton in the race to the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama took the Cheese State by storm, surging into what had been considered Clinton-safe blue-collar voting districts. He ended up with a 17-point win, 58 to 41 percent. In Hawaii, where […]
The big story of the Chesapeake primary is that Independents are abandoning John McCain.
On his right flank, our latest military hero/presidential candidate is being challenged by evangelist Mike Huckabee. There is no center in the Republican Party for McCain to hold onto. Any center that remains has been weakened by Independent defections.
The Republican Party has pushed itself so […]
Tuesday, Barack Obama swept the Democrats’ so-called Chesapeake primary — the states of Virginia and Maryland and the District of Columbia. The “score” was essentially a rout by Obama of Hillary Clinton, with around 75 percent of D.C. Democratic voters, 63 percent of Maryland Democratic voters and 61 percent of Virginia voters going for Obama […]
Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama by fewer than 100 delegates, but it looks like Obama is raising more money.
As Red Zone Blogitics has observed, because of his status as an athlete and football fan, Obama seems to be developing an edge with men that Clinton cannot hope to equal. Obama very astutely took […]
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney decided to call it quits on his aspirations for the Republican presidential nomination Thursday.
It looks like there wasn’t a big enough piece of pie to split between Romney and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who were both seeking the votes of social conservatives. Huckabee has had the edge from the start with […]
At Red Zone Blogitics, we weren’t surprised by Democrat Barack Obama’s strong showing in “red” and “purple” states — the states that will decide the election. Obama appeals to Independents, potential crossover Republicans and the evolving, new, progressive-traditionalist face of the Democratic Party. The contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton is more of a war for […]
