Tonight’s Democratic presidential debate between Barack Obama and me was the best ever on national television. It was truly a jib-jab lovefest for change. Argumentation and debate instructors will use a tape of the debate in their classrooms for decades. The question that received the loudest applause was one everyone in my campaign has been … Read More »
“All in the Reagan Family”
January 30, 2008
I watched the Republican Presidential debate tonight and if I hear Ronald Reagan’s name mentioned one more time I’m going to throw up. What a debate. What is better than Republicans smacking each other smack in the middle of Reagan country. Based on the number of times Reagan’s name was used, you would have thought … Read More »
We’ll fall off that bridge when we get to it
January 29, 2008
Ted Kennedy loves Barack Obama and not me. All I can say is I’m hurt. We tried. Bill talked to Ted on the phone to get him to hold his endorsement until after Super Tuesday’s primaries. In the end, Kennedy was pissed that we didn’t call him sooner. Either way, it’s difficult to fight the … Read More »

We’re not going to campaign in Florida, and it’s probably a good thing. The Democrats there are idiots. For whatever reason the party decided to move their primary election date and that pissed off the Democratic leadership so much that Florida’s convention delegates won’t be counted. Unless I win in Florida, in which case I … Read More »
Ebony vs. Ivory
January 27, 2008
Late last night I got a call from Bill on my cell phone after I finished the day campaigning in Tennessee. The first thing he said was, “I told you so.” As usual, he was right again. Barack Obama won big in South Carolina. It was a trouncing, a drubbing, a runaway victory. That’s what … Read More »
Bill: “Mission accomplished.”
January 26, 2008
Before I left South Carolina for Tennessee, Bill told me, “It’s all over but the counting. Mission accomplished.” The ‘mission’ was Bill’s attacks on Barack Obama up to the South Carolina election today. By all accounts, including my official response which will come later today, Bill went overboard. Like a fox. We figured it out … Read More »
The real first African-American President
January 25, 2008
The New York Times made a decision to keep race and money out of the presidential election. They endorsed me for Democrats and John McCain for Republicans. The newspaper’s endorsement was devoid of any mention of Barack Obama’s race or Mitt Romney’s money or John Edwards’ pretty face or Mike Huckabee’s religion. The New York … Read More »
The Color Purple
January 24, 2008
I have to admit that I’m surprised and deeply hurt and more than a little disappointed that African-American people think Bill and I are invoking the race card in the Democratic presidential election. It just isn’t so. Doesn’t everyone already know that Barack Obama is the black presidential candidate, or the African-American candidate, or whatever? … Read More »
