Crazy. A slight outlier, perhaps, but still. The poll shows Obama with a staggering 96% of the Democratic vote, 43% of the white vote, 97% of the black vote, and 51% of men. The big shift, which we have seen in many other states, is that among voters 65+ the race is practically tied. A...

Like many, I have grown tired of the negative campaigning.  I am disgusted by all of the distorting, twisting, and manipulating of facts by both Presidential candidates in order to impugn the credibility of each other.  I listened to all three Presidential Debates and the Civil Forum...

Ever hear that at a football game? I have, and it disturbs me. If you can't play fair and expect to win, then just don't play at all. Unfortunately, folks in the Republican Party don't hold with my philosophy. First Florida, then Ohio, and now right in my backyard.This disturbing story...

The big news in politics today is that President Bush’s former Secretary of State, Colin Powell, is endorsing Senator Barack Obama for president.  Personally, I don’t see why this is a big deal.  It doesn’t matter.  Senator Obama will win the presidency in sixteen days.  Conv...

MINNETONKA, Minn. -- On paper, it makes little sense that Democrat Ashwin Madia is running a close race for Congress in the Minneapolis suburbs. He is a 30-year-old political neophyte challenging a respected Republican statehouse leader for an open seat held by the GOP since 1960.
