As the sports world awaits the kickoff of Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., count me among the long list of political pundits unable to avoid drawing parallels between the 2008 presidential race and the biggest professional football game of the year. Don’t worry too much, though, because my comparisons [...]

I’m not an Iowa voter, but I spent some “quality time” over the weekend imagining what one might be thinking as he considers his options. A product of that time appears below: Few voters actually participate in the Iowa caucuses, according to one report today. Among those who do, I can’t imagine there exists anything [...]

Did Hillary Move Iowa Caucus to Jan. 14?
December 24th, 2007 · 2 Comments
Years ago, Hillary Clinton allegedly turned $1,000 into $100,000 in the cattle futures market. Today, however, the former first lady-turned U.S. senator-turned Democrat presidential candidate doesn’t seem so smart. According to the folks at The Politico, the Clinton Campaign has been handing out cards that encourage Iowa voters to caucus Jan. 14, 2008 — a [...]

December 7th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Democrat Barack Obama hopes to capitalize on the so-called “Oprah Effect” which, according to a Bloomberg writer, is known to “transform books, beauty products and foods into sales blockbusters.” Unfortunately, I predict it may have the opposite effect and result in the Illinois senator’s presidential aspirations being left in A Million Little Pieces. Forgive me [...]
