The primary election in Pennyslvania is a week away. I plan to win. We’re dumping lots of money into television commercials which attack Barack Obama. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but I think we’re entering ‘Hail Mary’ season in the campaign. Tommy Vietor from Obama’s campaign said, ‘she’ll do anything to get elected.’ So? … Read More »
Are television commercials free?
April 12, 2008
I’m sitting at a hotel in Philadelphia after dinner and I flip on the television to catch Saturday Night Live. I’m hoping they’ll do another skit lampooning Barack Obama. Instead, I watch about 10 Obama commercials, and not one Hillary commercial. Not one. Are commercials free on cable TV? I called Maggie on the phone … Read More »
Watching Bill Work
April 11, 2008
Almost nobody has noticed but Bill Clinton is working very hard these days. And he’s not getting paid for it. At least, I’m not going to pay him. Primary elections in three big states are coming soon and Bill can do three rallies in each state, each day. First, Indiana, then North Carolina, and back … Read More »
Cash up front? Gimme a break!
April 10, 2008
Cash up front. That’s what it’s come down to. So I missed a few payments, and have a shoebox full of unpaid bills. Big whoop, right? Some services vendors in Ohio and Texas are complaining that I haven’t paid them for services rendered. We normally don’t pay anything for 60 days, so why complain now? … Read More »
What’s $100-million between friends?
April 9, 2008
We live in a society that rewards risk takers, yet when the risks are taken and the rewards are handed out, some people become outraged. Bill and I are duly surprised at the reaction to our income tax returns. So what if we made a $100-million over the past few years. We earned it. We … Read More »
Labels, and brands, and me, oh my!
April 8, 2008
Al Gore probably lost the election in 2000 because he was labeled and branded by the Republicans. I feel the same thing is happening to me. Everything seemed to be going well for the then-Vice President until the debates with George W. Bush. Gore made a few critical mistakes. He ‘misspoke himself‘ with juicy items … Read More »
Hillary Country or Hillaryland?
April 7, 2008
Figures don’t lie, and liars don’t figure. Maybe that’s why I have a hard time grasping the numbers behind the convention delegates we’re trying to win. With Mark Penn gone, I have to trust Howard ‘Bull Dog‘ Wolfson to explain them to me. That’s probably a mistake. Howard is Communications Director. Basically, that means he’s … Read More »
Who runs Obama’s campaign?
April 6, 2008
Enough is enough. Mark Penn is outta here. We’ll let it leak that he’s been involved in some kind of shenanigans with a Colombian drug cartel or something like that. Then we’ll tell reporters, privately, that everyone is glad he’s gone because he caused so much turmoil among the staff. That two-step firing process makes … Read More »
