Dem Debate: Tinseltown Letdown

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Wow, that was much ado about very little, wasn't it? Both Clinton and Obama playing it extremely safe at Thursday's night one-on-one debate in Hollywood. Quick CW: They both like where they currently stand in the race. My report direct from the love-in when you click here.
After the debate, I also spoke with the [...]

GOP Debate: Battle of the Hawks

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Who's the bigger hawk? Who's toughest on the illegals? Who is most true to the remains of Ronnie Reagan resting just outside the window I'm staring at. My report from the Simi Valley debate.

Edwards Does -- And Did -- The Right Thing

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

John Edwards exits the race in the same noble posture with which he entered it. My view is here.

South Carolina: One Mound of Dung Too Far

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

That's was a pretty big-sized can of whup-ass that got opened up in South Carolina Saturday night. The Billary campaign's gonna have a lot of thinking to do in the next few days. First on the agenda, when it comes to Big Dawg: Use' em? Or Lose 'em? Here are my thoughts.

Hill's Electablity. Bill's Proclivity.

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Does anybody seriously think that if Hillary's nominated that we won't spend most of the rest of the year raking through Bill Clinton's post-presidential sex life? Read all about it.

CNN Debate: Malice in Hillaryland

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Finally, some blood on the floor of a Democratic presidential debate. Yum yum.
Barack Obama has finally uttered what millions have been thinking these past few weeks: Who's he really running against? Bill or Hillary?
Answer: Bill.
Here's my reaction to the debate.

Wanking Around on Wonkette

Monday, January 21st, 2008

See my cameo appearance on this Why Tuesday video from Nevada.

NV: Hillary Wins. Bill Intervenes (but doesn't intimidate, of coursre).)

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Las Vegas, Nevada
The results from Nevada are in and it's Hillary 50-45 over Obama.
The caucusing this morning had some rather odd aspects -- some of it generated by Bill Clinton. Here's my story on how I witnessed the bizarre spectacle of a former U.S. president standing inside a polling place to lobby caucusers as they [...]

Bill Clinton: Super Surrogate!

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Las Vegas, Nevada
Bill Clinton continues to be quite a formidable act -- and Hillary Clinton's Super Surrogate. Here's my latest report.
And a snippet of video to give you a sense of the man. As if you didn't already know.

Edwards: Ain't Plannin' to Quit

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Las Vegas
Saw John Edwards Wednesday night at a rather electric rally at the Carpenters Union. Seems like he has no imminent plans to fade away. Quite to the contrary as you can read in my full report here.
Also shot some video q & a with him afterward. Worth watching. About 6 mins. long.

Back On The Trail

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Someone had to do it. So I volunteered. I'm in Las Vegas this week covering the Nevada caucuses to be held this Saturday.
Spent this morning, Wednesday, with Barack Obama. Here's my report.
And a snipped of video shakily recorded.

Hitler and Me

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Hitler had his Reichstag. Bush --and apparently-- yours truly, well, we had our 9/11! So would argue a handful of whack-jobs protestors who took the time to stage a picket line demonstration aimed at moi a few days ago!
Click here and see the online slideshow that the L.A. Weekly put up after it [...]

Down and Dirty

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Did longtime Clinton family bagman Terry McAuliffe nail it late Tuesday night just moments after the networks called New Hampshire for Hillary Clinton? “It was that humanizing moment yesterday,” a jubilant McAuliffe told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, referring to Hillary Clinton’s much-televised tearing up as she complained what an unrecognized burden it’s been for the last [...]

'It's My Party..."

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Actually, it isn't. But I'll cry if I want to.
It seemed to work for Hillary, why not for me?
As soon as I finish this Crow Pie I will write up my deeper thoughts.

Down But Not Out

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Down but out. No, not Hillary, silly. I'm talking about me.
Hillary's defintitely down and almost certainly out as well.
I, on the other hand, took some well-earned downtime in DC, thawing out from Iowa, spending some quality time with My Brilliant Daugter and luxuriating via MSNBC in the bath of schadenfreude of the collapsing Clinton campaign.
Sixteen [...]

Back to California

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Leaving Iowa and heading back to California via DC and New York.  In the meantime, my writitng turns back to the Golden State. 
Here's my just published feature report on the purges conducted by the wealthy gambling tribes who stand to benefit from new expansion deals up for a vote on the ballot next month.

Obama Soared -- Hillary Skunked

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Quite thrilling it was to be immersed in the tsunami of young and new caucusers who turned out to fuel Barack Obama's stunning victory tonight. And almost as much fun to watch the humbling of the Clinton machine.
It was a great but exhausting experience. Off to Washington DC Friday to see The Brilliant Daughter and [...]

Zero Hour

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Here in Iowa the game's on. Is this the beginning of the end of the Clinton dynasty? Or its consolidation.  Here's my report from Obama's closing rally and the overall scramble for last-minute new and independent voters.
