Look to NASCAR To Understand Democratic Presidential Race 04/25/2008
If NASCAR governed the 2008 race for the Democratic nomination, this would be called "The Chase." In NASCAR, that is the period when the regular season is over and the winner of the season-ending cup championship is named based on who won the most points in "The Chase." For Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, they easily dis... |

The Specter of McCain Democrats 03/11/2008
A significant slice of Hillary Clinton's supporters — that is, moderate Democrats — might prefer McCain over Obama, or so I speculated a few weeks back. It was a hunch based on conversations and some suggestive but hardly definitive poll numbers. Critics of this view waved numbers showing more support for Obama than for Clinton among in... |

Obama's Weaknesses Off Limits to Hillary 02/22/2008
Poor Hillary. She can't afford to attack Obama where he's vulnerable, but she can't afford not to. Even if she does, it's likely it won't resonate with a leftist base made to order for Obama. Worse yet, it's probably too late anyway. The irony is that if Hillary had been willing to be who she really is — an antiwar leftist — she'd proba... |

Torts and Terrorism 02/18/2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A closed-door caucus of House Democrats last Wednesday took a risky political course. By four to one, they instructed Speaker Nancy Pelosi to call President Bush's bluff on extending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to continue eavesdropping on suspected foreign terrorists. Rather than passing the bill with ... |

NAACP's Bond Late to the Game Regarding Democratic Delegate Battle 02/15/2008
NAACP Chairman Julian Bond's decision to weigh in on the Democratic Party's conundrum when it comes to seating delegates from Michigan and Florida has created a firestorm of discussion on blogs and talk shows, and frankly, I'm still unclear as to what his intent was. Sure, he and others have the freedom to weigh in on the issue. But why be a Julian... |

Bringing Death and Destruction to Muslims 01/17/2008
After pandering to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's right-wing government last week, U.S. President George W. Bush carried the Israeli-neoconservative campaign against Iran to Arab countries. Sounding as authentic as the "Filipino Monkey," Bush told the Arab countries that "Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terror"... |

Women to the Rescue, as Hillary Bounces Back in New Hampshire 01/10/2008
The women of New Hampshire saved her. On Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton confuted premature announcements of her political demise. She won the Democratic primary by a narrow 2 percent, 39-37. The prime reasons for her victory were a) women and b) the lower profile in New Hampshire of the war in Iraq. In Iowa, Barack Obama won the women's vote by mor... |

Playing the Class Card 01/09/2008
As long as Hillary Clinton, and now Gloria Steinem, has chosen to play the women's card against the race card, let me throw in a third one: the class card. Clinton claimed in the New Hampshire primary debate that she is the unmistakable agent for change because she is a woman and her election as president would send a strong signal of a new day abo... |

No matter how many thousands of players visit poker rooms across the nation, it's a safe bet 10 times that number can be found at any given time playing in home games. That number is about to grow. Hey LuckyDog: My friends and I would like to start up a friendly Texas hold 'em game. Should we use a tournament format like what's on TV, where player... |
