You Know
Published May 15th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Election, Feminism, Hillary Clinton and Racism. 1 CommentCuriouser and Curiouser
Published May 14th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Election, Feminism and Hillary Clinton. 11 CommentsI swear this primary is little more than a Rorshach test, you see what you see. I still have yet to be convinced either way that Obama is a better candidate than Clinton, or vice versa, because what I still see is a candidate spouting platitudes versus another candidate spouting platitudes.
Which is why I […]
SMRT vs. L33T
Published May 14th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Election, George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton. 3 CommentsOne reason Democrats lose elections is that they think everyone who doesn’t think as they do is an idiot that doesn’t know what’s good for them, breaking voters down into rich, poor, formally educated, informally educated and similar demographics and then equating them with racist, sexist, stupid, and opportunistic.

Because Our Voices Matter Too
Published April 29th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Election, Hillary Clinton, Indiana and Politics and News. 10 CommentsIf you can’t get through an article about Indiana without mentioning a certain twenty-year-old sports movie, you aren’t qualified to write it.
One thing about Indiana is that it has a long history of competing ideas and interests. It’s not only the home of the KKK, but also of Eugene Debs, one of the founders […]
The Tipping Point: Let It Be Known That I Am Shallow
Published March 25th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Election, Hillary Clinton, Indiana and Suburbia. 2 CommentsI haven’t picked my candidate yet this election season — Clinton is too much a mainstream conservative liberal, and I suspect Obama, despite his glowing accolades, will someday be outed as a politician (crazy, I know) — but I have been watching the election coverage with great interest. Nevertheless, rather nonplussed with either option […]
Political Baggage
Published February 16th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Election and Hillary Clinton. 5 CommentsThe Rude Pundit is definitely right about HRC and her political baggage, fair or not, but this comment by Richard Florida characterizes some of my fears about Obama [via Roxanne]:

Something Like the Southern Strategy with Vaginas
Published February 16th, 2008 in Barack Obama, Feminism and Hillary Clinton. 16 CommentsIt’s not about dog whistles, it’s about dismissing HRC with careless sexism. If you’ve never been told you are “ruled by your emotions” in a professional capacity, you probably wouldn’t get it either.
But shit, you know how women are.
For the record, this is #2.
UPDATE: GR explains it further,
If this isn’t intended to be […]
If You’re Feeling Shallow

Leading The GOP Race: D) None of the Above
Published July 18th, 2007 in Barack Obama, Election, Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. 2 CommentsDespite the blabbering over whether Americans would vote in a Mormon president, whether a B-list actor on a crime show could be the next B-list Reagan, and whether McCain really looks gay in a knit pullover, a recent poll found that nearly a quarter of Republicans are unwilling to back top-tier hopefuls Rudy Giuliani, […]
