I’m up early this morning. Something has been gnawing at me for hours. There’s no doubt about it. I need some fire in my speeches. It needs to be something like what Barack uses after he wins a couple of states, but less like a Baptist preacher. It doesn’t look good coming from a middle-aged … Read More »
“I’m leaving Hillaryland”
February 12, 2008
We were up late last night working on campaign organizational changes. I hated to see Patti go, but Donald Trump was right. Find the one with the bad complexion, and issue a ‘You’re Fired!‘ citation. Patti took it well and fell straight down on her sword without a whimper or a trace of blood. She’s … Read More »
Arkansas chutzpuh
February 11, 2008
It must have something to do with the water in the South. Jimmy Carter. Bill Clinton. Now Mike Huckabee. There’s more chutzpah in that trio than in any East Coast politician. Barring a heart attack, John McCain will be the Republican presidential nominee. Still, Mike Huckabee won’t quit. I won’t quit, either. It’s the water … Read More »
Funny TV commercials
February 10, 2008
Patti decided to step down right before I fired her. I think she was tipped off by Donald Trump. His advice was so right on target. Maggie Williams complexion is much better. Like a warm mocha latte. Even better is that Maggie knows how to make me laugh, especially when things don’t look so good. … Read More »
Damn the caucuses, full speed ahead
February 9, 2008
I don’t know what it is about the caucus process but it’s not working for me. At least not in Nebraska, or Washington, or Main, or Louisiana. Obama scored another round of delegates today in mostly caucus elections, fortunately not many delegates were at stake and the states are mostly unimportant. Still, I’ll feel better … Read More »
Trump: “You’re fired!”
February 8, 2008
This has been brewing for awhile but it’s time. My campaign is struggling the past few months and it’s important to find out why, change it or fix it, move on. Leadership requires insight, the ability to make the tough decisions. Tonight Bill was on the phone talking with Donald Trump. Trump calls whenever he … Read More »
Katie and hot peppers
February 7, 2008
I got a call on my cell phone twice today from Katie Couric. Again. The woman just won’t leave me alone. It seems that Mike Wallace is sick and CBS wants her to interview me. Mike Wallace is still alive? Who knew? So, we’re talking about interview topics and Obama and how tiring it gets … Read More »
Where did I get $5-million?
February 6, 2008
So I loaned my own campaign some money. Big deal. It’s old news. Look, early January was a tough time for campaign contributions, what with the loss in Iowa, Christmas shopping bills that came due, and so on. I can understand why people stopped contributing. What I don’t understand is why people keep asking the … Read More »
