It’s been an open secret for a long time, but now with MSNBC’s latest report on it, I figure it’ll be a good time to make a point – Obama’s got a dog problem and I’m not referring to Clinton.

This is a blog, so I’m not going to nuance my post or make it seem less harsh or something; “I’d rather vote McCain” = “I’ll never vote for a black man”. It’s as simple as that. No need for metrics. If Clinton and Obama hold such similar policy positions, then it isn’t a problem with (more…)

And once more we herald another series of primaries in an already overextended primary season. Hillary and Obama go at it again in Indiana and North Carolina this week. Any bets on the result? Both The Furry and me seem to be under some pall of foreboding – Clinton just might sweep this. The momentum has shifted and I haven’t really seen or heard anything from Obama to conclusively change the current dynamics. Quite possibly, he’s unsure about his next moves – Obama heads an uneasy coalition of die-hard liberals and more moderate centrists. His dilemma is getting the Reagan Democrats on board without alienating either of these two power blocs. Apparently, partisanship dies hard and people still obsess over the old base while scrabbling around for a new one. Unfortunately, for all of Obama’s high rhetoric, even he appears unable to bridge the divide between progressives and reactionaries.

Of course, the big question should be – does it matter anymore? Maybe it’s time for Democrats to let go of the past and embrace the future – or better yet, make the future.

In his post “Clinton Supporters are Utter Morons“, the Furry commented on the apparent use of message board commentary to push a political point. He was decrying the apparent stupidity and immaturity of pro-Clinton posters in comparison to those of her opponent, Barack Obama. I’ve (more…)

In his post “UMNO and the Democrats”, the Furry commented that “the Dems have to get their shit together FAST,” and warned that an extended fight could see the ultimate democratic nominee facing a well entrenched John McCain. Well, McCain is entrenching himself. While the Democrats continue to dominate the nation’s airwaves, John McCain is quietly building his image in the manner in which he is most comfortable - town hall gatherings; the small, personal, face-to-face meetings with the people that he so revels in.

It remains to be seen how well his efforts will pay off – (more…)

Despite Clinton’s arguments to the contrary, Barack Obama’s appeal to the youth vote is probably more important to the Democrats in November than Clinton’s ability to carry the big states. - FurryMalaysian

For some time now, Clinton’s argument has been that she can carry the big states, so important to Democrats in the general election. Her surrogates have been handily deriding younger voters for being “drunk on Obama Kool Aid”, the implication being that they’re voting with the head between their legs instead of the one between their shoulders. Apart from (more…)

Just a few days more - will we finally see Obama put Clinton in the ground, or will the race continue? Too soon to tell. I’d say it will carry on. The Furry says it might be a surprise upset for Obama. (more…)

Well, the “big debate” between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is over and the results are in.

ABC news sucks.

Actually, I kinda enjoyed myself watching it. Sorry, but even a train wreck is entertaining. (more…)

Hormones ‘may fuel market crisis’

In other news, McCain’s “stimulus package” will now include Viagra and testosterone boosts.

Well, IowaJim - I’m not even sure if he’s from Iowa. I’ve been caught up with work schtuff back home for the past week and I simply haven’t had the opportunity to hammer out my typical word pile. So I’m getting Jim to come in and provide me with filler. He’s been bitching at me over Skype for a while now and I figure he might as well bitch at me here.

As if the name wasn’t enough of a tipoff. It isn’t as bad as it seems; FM likes Obama, I like Obama. Just so long as he lays off the McCain lovin’ n’ Clinton hatin’ - Jim

Stumper on Newsweek had a really nice article about authenticity. I like these kind of articles…they speak my lingo.

I like PCs by the way. Macs can suck it.
