Icky gave me the bad news. Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson will endorse Barack Obama. On the surface it would seem as if Richardson has become a traitor, but I don’t think so. Bill owes his entire political life to the Clintons. We gave him everything he has. From his lengthy resume to his … Read More »

Hasn’t Ohio ever heard of Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig? Today I was asked a question at a rally by one of my … Read More »
