If there were any Democrats left who aren’t caught up in the rapture of the Barackalypse, they’d realize what a blow Obama’s decision to opt out of public financing is to all they’ve tried to do to undermine Republican electoral strategy. This is probably the decision with the most negative [...]

This last fall, Sam Waterson of Law and Order fame (Jack McCoy), paid visits to both Harvard and Yale (he went to Harvard first, mind you), and proposed the idea of a temporary third party that would strive to bring moderates together in an effort to remind the polarizing Republican and Democratic parties that the [...]

The primaries are stupid.
Don’t get me wrong – as an avid student of politics, I love the debates, the back and forth battles, and the daily polls that are often associated with the primary season. Like a sports fan would follow the progress and events surrounding his favorite team, I follow the success, failures, and [...]

Yes, that’s right. Another former “rising star” in the Democratic Party, another sex scandal. This time, it’s Detroit’s mayor (and Vice President of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors, as well as a speaker at the 2004 Democratic Convention), Kwame [...]

New York Times’ sketchy report on John McCain’s affair with a lobbyist
John Edwards’ $400 haircuts
Washington Post’s news-breaking article highlighting Hillary Clinton’s suit dipping “into new neckline territory”

John McCain is now the Republican nominee. It seems more and more likely that Barack Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee. The question at this point is: how did they get here? The answer, I believe is quite simple. In a time when many Americans are sick and tired of the perceived lies, [...]

Barack Obama has been running an idealistic campaign based on hope and change. People “looking for something to believe in” have been jumping on the Obama bandwagon lately, especially after his eight consecutive post – Super Tuesday wins. Many claim to see a winner in Obama, someone who can inspire and make America better for [...]

Look: I hate Obama, his socialist foreign policy initiatives towards Cuba and the Middle East, and his pet panaceas “hope” and “change” as much as the next girl, but- “obamanation“??? Really, conservatives? Are these the depths of unfunny puns that we have fallen into? Plus, isn’t an “Obama- Nation” EXACTLY what we’re supposed to be [...]

I wrote an article on the elections. The whole thing is here. Here is a snippet.
Ah, populism: the pet buzzword of Latin American dictators and shell of an ideology that authoritarian turtles throughout the centuries have preferred to wear. Luckily for us Americans, we know little of this bizarre tropical phenomenon outside of local political [...]

That’s right: Chuck Norris has just swept the Republican side of the most overhyped political event of the 2008 election season: the Iowa caucus. Without going into detail on why Iowa is a completely irrelevant waste of space on the US map (sorry, Iowans, but even Rudy Giuliani doesn’t care about any of you), the [...]
