At What Point is It Over?

When you lose once people say you lost. When you lose 10 times you are officially a loser. Most of the time a lose is discounted, but not in this primary season. If Barack Obama had lost 10 primaries in a row we would now be saying Barack Who? In the case of Hillary Clinton [...]

Winning at Any Cost

Today a photo of Sen. Obama appeared with him dressed in traditional Kenyan attire. He has a turban like headpiece and material draped on his body in the country’s tradition.

Words Do Matter

When the Clinton machine gets you in the crosshairs look out. On Saturday night Sen. Obama delivered a speech in which he quoted portions of a speech previously given by Deval Patrick.

We Have Got to Believe

I read all the news magazines and I watch the cable talking heads and they all seem to be saying the same thing. We are witnessing and incredible moment.
