03.04.08Hucka-beeotch!Just a quick thought on Mike Huckabee and his refusal to gracefully (*snicker*) bow out.Huckabee has stated that, despite it being mathematically impossible for him to become the Republican candidate, he will remain in the race until God tells him to drop out. He also says that he, "believes in miracles," and that is what he is counting on to win.Seeing that a miracle is a divine act of God making the impossible possible, and that the only thing that would make Huckabee the front runner would be if McCain suddenly drops out or dies. One has to surmise that ...

02.24.08Oh crap.Ralph Nader announces third-party run for presidentRalph Nader is launching a third-party campaign for president.The consumer advocate made the announcement Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." He says most Americans are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties, and that none of the presidential contenders are addressing ways to stem corporate crime and Pentagon waste and promote labor rights.Nader also ran as a third-party candidate in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. He is still loathed by many Democrats who call him a spoiler and claim his candidacy in 2000 cost the party the election by siphoning votes away from ...

02.09.08GoObama!Obama wins Nebraska and WashingtonMr. Obama received nearly 70 percent support in Nebraska, compared with 31 percent for Mrs. Clinton. He also had 67 percent support in Washington state caucuses, compared with 32 percent for Mrs. Clinton with returns tallied from about one-half of the state’s precincts. There were 78 delegates at stake, the largest single prize of the night. The two were also matched up in a primary in Louisiana and caucuses in the Virgin Islands.With the Democratic contest so close, excitement ran high, as did turnout. In Nebraska, the Web site of the Omaha World-Herald reported that organizers ...

01.30.08John Edwards to drop out of race todayBreaking News: John Edwards to drop out of presidential race today!Following a third-place finish in the Florida Primary, Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race today, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters' sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned.The two-time White House candidate notified a close circle of senior advisers that he planned to make the announcement at a 1 p.m. EST event in New Orleans that had been billed as a speech on poverty, according to two of ...

01.29.08Florida Primary: The results are in!Hillary can't honestly be all that proud of this. If our delegates weren't taken away and the candidates were allowed to campaign here, Obama would have swept through Florida like a Cat-5 hurri...oh wait, that's probably a bad joke. You get my point.I guess the "Ron Paul Revolution" forgot to put the bongs down and get off their asses to vote for the guy. More likely, most of the more liberal and independent supporters of Paul forgot that Florida was a closed primary and never changed their voter registration. Nice work.

01.21.08S.C. Democratic debate, nastiness ensuesThings got nasty between Clinton and Obama in tonight's debate (VIDEO). Some of it was almost embarrassing to watch but it was interesting. You can really see the masks and smiles begin to slip away and the inner viscousness is starting to come out of the candidates.I'm still for Obama 100% (seconding Edwards), too bad my primary vote in Florida means squat. Hillary has far too much history in Washington and it is time for new blood.I really hate the debates though. If people really base their vote on these theatrical sparring matches they are doing the country a disservice. ...

01.11.08Slacker Jack City, population: MeI've been slacking here on the personal blog due to the new school semester, work and focusing a bit on the UCF Blog quite a bit. We're averaging 500 page views a day which is pretty good by local blog standards. One day we even had over 1,600 page views thanks to Kevin Smith news. People love to read about that guy.More comments and links will be forthcoming the closer it gets to the Florida primary and Super Tuesday. Although for a registered Democrat like myself the Florida primary holds almost no relevance. We've been stripped of all of our ...

01.07.08Angry mob chases Sean Hannity to chants of, "Fox News sucks!"Here's the kicker, these are conservative Ron Paul supporters. After the recent announcement by Fox News that they were excluding the Texas republican from their "Republican Forum," some viewers who were also Ron Paul supporters became upset.Paul has not only raised tons of money but he currently ranks higher than Fred Thompson in the latest NH poll. Despite what I said earlier about Ron Paul I still don't think it is fair that he be treated as an extreme, fringe candidate. Sure his chances of winning are slim, but they are better than say, Mike Gravel or Joe Biden, and ...

01.05.08O’Reilly allegedly pushes Obama stafferAccording to The Swamp, Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly allegedly shoved an Obama staffer because he was in his shot:Hours after Bill O'Reilly was recognized by Sen. Hillary Clinton at a campaign event, a less friendly exchange took place today between the FOX News commentator and a staff member for Sen. Barack Obama.Marvin Nicholson, Obama's national trip director, said he was "pushed" by O'Reilly following an event here."I was just shadowing the senator and I guess I was in his shot," Nicholson said, adding that O'Reilly called him "low-class."Nicholson, 36, who served as Sen. John Kerry's body man during his 2004 ...
