Clinton: “I Want People of Montana to Vote” HARRISBURG, Pa. – Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused rival Sen. Barack Obama and his allies of trying to stop people from voting as some of his backers have called on her to drop out of the presidential race. The Obama campaign rejected the charge, dismissing Clinton's criticism as "completely laughable."
CAMPAIGN DIARY l Washington DC THE cherry trees are blossoming in Washington, determined to proclaim the arrival of spring despite a bout of damp and chilly weather. This time of year the city gets a surge of tourists from all corners of America, many of them keen to wedge the trip into their children’s school holidays. Over at the Lincoln Memorial, which never fails to impress, some kids are reading the Gettysburg Address (which is inscribed on the wall) out loud. “Four score and seven years a
$350 Million for a Courthouse Posted by: Austin Cassidy in Local News, Politics Looks like the mayor has settled (for now) on a price tag of $350 million for a new courthouse. This project has been a nightmare, so on one hand I can see how the council might be willing to just accept whatever is thrown out to get things rolling finally. But seriously, think about that amount of money in the larger context of things. If we’re really in the middle of a “budget crunch” and a public safety c
That's a Saturn, All Right. If you watch any TV at all, you've probably seen that Saturn ad where a bunch of people go "That's a Saturn...?" and then "That's a Saturn?" and then (with contempt!) "That's not a Saturn!" followed by the admiring "That's a Saturn, all right!" This campaign tack was taken to encourage new buyers to see Saturn with fresh eyes. But apparently the ad can also be used to reaffirm old beliefs. Oops. by Angela Natividad Mar-31-08
As far as an overall take on the convention I would pretty much associate myself with Robert's remarks. Ultimately these events are more important for the time-honored political practice of networking, of meeting and gathering impressions on colleagues and candidates for the future, not in a formal speech setting but one-on-one. While these endorsement fights and resolutions and platforms get the attention of the activists and insiders, and as well you can pretty fairly judge the activist/esta
It looks as though the Marines in Berkeley recently received some well deserved support: On March 22, 2008, a coalition of patriotic and veterans’ groups held a large rally in front of Berkeley’s “U.S. Marine Corps Officer Selection Office” (better known as the Marines recruiting office) in support of American troops and their missions. This rally — with at least 400 participants at any one time and probably well over 500 grand total — was much larger than any of the previous anti-troop prot
You have an extra two days to contribute to Pennsylvania congressional campaigns. The extension is to match state deadlines, and has something to do with the date of the primary. The details are beyond me. What I know for certain is you have two extra days. All Democratic candidates are likely to be available through ActBlue.
Have I been too easy on Hillary? Not much has seemed worthy of any sort of fresh attention here, but there is something about the combination of Clintons, Leftist ideas, and irony that’s hard to ignore. According to a detailed report at Politico, paying campaign staffers’ health insurance premiums is not really a priority for Senator […]
I don’t know about you, but in my family we quote movies all the time. Tom often sing songs. For him life’s a musical. I was visiting Dust Bunny Hostage a while back and she did a post about movie quotes. This is my twist on it. Anyone who wants to participate, please do and let me know. List at least five movie/TV quotes you’ve used in a regular conversation. Tell what movie/TV show it’s from and which character said it and how you use it. You can list more if you wish. 1. “Liar….liar!
It's official, just weeks after we broke the story that Robert Scoble went live with Fast Company TV here in NY, he has left to start a video site around his passion, ice cream. He worked in an ice cream store growing up with over 80 flavors and he tried every single one of them. He was fired for eating too much ice cream and giving it away to the young ladies who visited. From what I understand rather than Seagate sponsoring this tv show, Baskin Robbins will be sponsoring the series. He wi
