The Republican party will suffer a resounding defeat today and the reasons for it go far beyond its affiliation with President George Bush.
The Republicans have become a party of dissension and negativism, and the American people are sick of it. There was no hope with McCain, there was no plan, he simply reacted to each [...]

Former Governor Mitt Romney ended his 2008 Presidential bid yesterday in silent recognition of his odds of winning the nomination guised in a half-hearted attempt at Party unity. He did not endorse John McCain.
Analysts are portraying Romney’s move as ensuring that John McCain will be the GOP presidential nominee, even as the Arizona senator continues [...]
I’m not one for piling up bad news with more bad news, but this latest Justice Department probe is approaching the ridiculous. Even Diane Feinstein can feel that we’ve “tipped” and she can now exert some more of her muscle. Not a pleasant thought.
I’m pouring through Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book, “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without [...]

While the President and his associates can negotiate trade bills and treaties, it’s the role of Congress to give the OK. With the [...]

To that end and by request, I have been doing some thinking about who might actually be in the field on either side for the top spot. Here’s the handicapping I’ve come up [...]
The Kyoto agreement; a way to allow market forces help us clean up the environment by buying and selling credits to cover a country’s ability to pollute. There’s a certain genius in the concept; it creates revenue centers for things that were previously part of the tragedy of the commons, but there are also pitfalls. [...]
The map is awash in blue as the House changes hands, governor’s mansions get new residents, and maybe, just maybe, the senate gets a Democratic majority. The electorate has proved that it’s sufficiently pissed off by the scandals, the war, and government in general to change things around, and they took their enmity with them [...]
