How many Texans does it take to count a vote? Seriously. How many? Texas’ strange Frankenelection was held almost two weeks ago and they still haven’t finished counting all the votes. I think I won but I don’t know for sure. They do things differently down in the Lone Star state. The way I understand … Read More »
‘He would not dare!’
March 14, 2008
All politicians have ‘operatives’ inside their competitors campaigns. I have a highly placed aide to Barack Obama who called late last night with some disturbing news. She let us know that Barack Obama has a plan to form an independent run for the White House if he fails to get the Democratic nomination. This is … Read More »
Apologize? Never. Well, maybe.
March 13, 2008
Timing is everything. Unfortunately, there’s good timing and bad timing. Geraldine Ferraro played what may well be our last race card the other day, and days later I had to face a bunch of African-American newspaper publishers and ask them for support. Life is full of little ironies like that. Well, before I could face … Read More »
“Go get ‘em, Geraldine!”
March 12, 2008
Publicly, I cannot condone what Geraldine Ferraro said, but everyone knows she’s right. Barack Obama would not be where he is today if he was a fat, balding caucasian politician from Chicago. It was Bill’s idea to play one last race card and getting Ferraro to yank on Obama’s chain was a masterful ploy. The … Read More »
The city of brotherly love, brother
March 11, 2008
I love it when African-American men stand up for what is right and good and decent in this country. That’s why Michael Nutter, Philadelphia’s courageous new mayor, has a “Hillary” sticker on his car. He’s a really ‘Penn Pal.’ Michael is also something of a character and a gifted conversationalist, if not a little out … Read More »
The Elvis Factor
March 10, 2008
Campaigning is an endless loop of faces and handshakes and questions and seldom enough time to go to the bathroom. About 10:30 this morning I told Maggie Williams that I needed a break. She agreed and we called a halt to glad handing and headed to the bathroom. We both peered into the mirror at … Read More »
Management, schmanagement
March 9, 2008
Bill picked up an advance copy of another in the string of newspaper articles to discredit me, and lift Barack Obama on a pedestal. The New York Times is the latest newspaper to take a look at the behind-the-scenes management of a Clinton campaign for President. What’s to see? It’s almost as if they dug … Read More »
Bill is fresh out of ideas
March 8, 2008
Maybe he’s tired. Maybe he just doesn’t care. Maybe his Alzheimer’s is kicking in. Whatever it is, Bill is fresh out of ideas. His latest trip to the looney farm was a stunner. Even Mark Penn didn’t know what to say. When Maggie Williams heard Bill’s idea she snorted coffee through her nose. We’re all … Read More »
