But is it really worth anything? Wed, 14 May 2008 10:57:03 -0700 2008 Elections 117 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=116 It would be nice to hear a little bit more from the Obama camp about potential VP candidates. Tue, 13 May 2008 07:02:49 -0700 2008 Elections 116 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=115 It's been a long, hard fight, and now it's time to say goodnight. Fri, 09 May 2008 12:01:14 -0700 2008 Elections 115 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=114 On Saturday, Nevada Republicans conducted what turned out to be just the first chapter of their state convention in Reno. It was supposed to be a simple process, and completed in one day; with John McCain presumed to be the party's choice of nominee, what could go wrong? An earthquake? Well, yes. But perhaps it was only hinting other unexpected shifts to come. Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:32:52 -0700 2008 Elections 114 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=113 The answer: They're on the Internet. On Wednesday Helen Thomas, veteran reporter and member of the White House Press Corps, pressed White House press secretary Dana Perino on the issue of torture - stating that President Bush had personally, specifically signed off on torture. Fri, 25 Apr 2008 04:13:05 -0700 2008 Elections 113 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=112 Hillary Clinton shouldn’t quit until she’s damn well ready. There, I’ve said it. God forbid the woman wants to see if she can win the popular vote, sway some superdelegates her way and have a run at McCain. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:48:54 -0700 2008 Elections 112 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=111 Last night in Philadelphia, the home of the Constitution, ABCNews hosted a debate between the two Democratic frontrunners, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Just six days ahead of a crucial primary, the debate could have been a final opportunity for voters to see key differences in the candidates' platforms and visions for the country. Instead, moderators Charlie Gordon and George Stephanopoulos chose to spend over half of the two-hour time slot throwing out gotcha questions about gaffes and implications of guilty by association. Not a single real policy question was asked until past the one-hour mark. Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:34:51 -0700 2008 Elections 111 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=110 The McCain plan is so blatantly counter-productive to our long-term goals. Just as Bush’s 2008 “let’s give everyone $600” plan will prove as efficacious as Antoinette’s “let them eat cake” manifest of 1780, McCain’s popularity play will only serve to catapult oil prices to record levels. Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:49:34 -0700 2008 Elections 110 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=109 The image of Charlton Heston saying, “You’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands!” and being greeting by a cheering mass of NRA members doesn’t suggest redneck Americans are clinging to their guns? Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:14:33 -0700 2008 Elections 109 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=108 Here we go again, folks. By tomorrow this time, the story I'm about to tell irresponsibly repeat ought to have hit the mainstream media in full force. It shouldn't come as a surprise that McCain has been accused of being a hothead. After all, he told John Cornyn to (explicit) off last year and has been known to call his opponents - and even colleagues - rude names. But Cliff Schecter, author of the soon-to-be-released book entitled "The Real McCain", relates an episode back in 1992 in which McCain goes beyond rivalry by humiliating his wife with an insult in front of reporters and aides.

NOTE: If you haven't seen any of the Rocky movies you won't get this... Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:41:30 -0700 2008 Elections 107 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=106 The San Francisco Chronicle reported yesterday that in a San Francisco meeting of Superdelegates, Bill Clinton flew into a rage when a former Richardson delegate, now a Hillary supporter, mentioned the Richardson’s flap. It leaves me amazed once again how the stresses of politics can turn Uncle Bill into a red-faced, bitter man who flies into a rage at what seems like every little thing... Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:06:21 -0700 2008 Elections 106 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=105 Anybody who says that outright cash doesn’t dictate a campaign hasn’t looked at spending in the 2000 presidential election. It’s definitely coming down to a reckoning between Clinton and Obama—Clinton doesn’t know the meaning of throwing in the towel—and the money situation may give us a clue which way it will ultimately go... Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:29:42 -0700 2008 Elections 105 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=104 When crossing a tarmac, Hillary was forced to duck and run from gunfire. Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:59:22 -0700 2008 Elections 104 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=103 The Governor of Tennessee has an interesting idea to blunt the damage of the Democratic primary process: A primary for the super delegates. Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:28:00 -0700 2008 Elections 103 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=102 Amidst calls for immediate assistance for homeowners with foreclosure woes, the candidates weigh in. The question is, are any of them offering a realistic solution? Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:12:26 -0700 2008 Elections 102 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=101 America's finest politicians are tying up their tongues, but there are differences. Wed, 26 Mar 2008 03:23:08 -0700 2008 Elections 101 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=100 Obama, Wright, Easter, religion. If you toss those key words in a search engine today, you'll undoubtedly come up with a pile of articles and blog posts complaining about sermons. Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:01:41 -0700 2008 Elections 100 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=99 As the dust slowly settles from last week's tornado of political happenings, it seems that Richardson's endorsement of Senator Obama last Friday might tell us more about the Clintons than it does about either RIchardson or Obama. Or, at least, that's what political experts would like us to believe. Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:05:20 -0700 2008 Elections 99 http://www.voiceyourvote.net/?topic=98 Bill Richardson endorses Barack Obama at a very critical moment.
