We have it on good authority that Barack Obama’s speeches are full of plagiarized phrases. The man is a word thief. He steals other people’s words and calls them his own. We hired a couple of computer geeks to track Obama’s campaign speeches and run them through a database to compare with other speeches. The … Read More »
A firewall in Texas (and Ohio, and…)
For a long time this firewall business didn’t make any sense. For as long as I remember, a firewall is what firefighters dug in front of an approaching forrest fire. What’s the political significance? Is Barack Obama considered an approaching fire? Are we fighting fire with fire? Is there some kind of new meaning to … Read More »
Damn the caucuses, full speed ahead
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!”
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 »
“The Perfect Ticket?”

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 »
Ebony vs. Ivory
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 »
The Color Purple
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 »
It’s the economy, stupid!
We dusted off our old Clinton campaign signs and slogans from 1992. They’re still good today. Not only has President Bush led the country into a costly, misguided, mishandled war that cannot be won, he’s butchered the economy, too. Stocks are dropping faster than Dick Cheney’s approval ratings. Now we have to come up with … Read More »
