Women's History Month Hero -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

By not in system - AOL News

Courtesy of Meg Waite Clayton Meg Waite Clayton wrote "The Wednesday Sisters" and "The Language of Light." The fight for women's suffrage started, as so many things do, with women talking to each other around kitchen tables. The result was the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in July 1848. There, Elizabeth Cady Stanton presented the Document of Sentiments: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal." It was written -- primarily by Stanton -- at a three-legged table now residing at the very respectable Smithsonian. But at the ...

The End!

By David Knowles - Politics Daily

I think there's one thing we can all agree upon about this year's Democratic primary for president: It wasn't boring. In fact, if it was a novel, you'd have to term it a page-turner, and one with no lack of drama. A dizzying number of sub-plots and bit players filled out the narrative: Norman Hsu, Bosnia, Reverend Wright, Bill Clinton, Tony Rezko, the media, 3 a.m., Florida, Michigan, inevitability, assassination, "sweetie", Geraldine Ferraro, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Penn, and the DNC. When you step back from this thing for a moment and consider that the bulk of this happened over a mere six-month ...

Thrill Is Gone in Democratic Race

By Faye Anderson - Politics Daily

The American people have had enough of the election drama between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. A Pew Research Center poll found: Interest in what the public perceives as an excessively negative presidential campaign declined in the days leading up to the Pennsylvania primary. Just 29% of Americans say they paid very close attention to news about the presidential campaign last week, the lowest percentage recorded since December 2007. By comparison, 43% said they were following campaign news very closely during the weekend leading up to the March primaries in Texas and Ohio. Interest in the ...

Clinton Backer Takes Foul Shot at Obama

By Faye Anderson - Politics Daily

The race for the Democratic nomination cannot seem to get beyond race. Bob Johnson, owner of the Charlotte Bobcats and a Clinton backer, says, hey, Geraldine Ferraro, was right. Johnson told the Charlotte Observer: What I believe Geraldine Ferraro meant is that if you take a freshman senator from Illinois called `Jerry Smith' and he says I'm going to run for president, would he start off with 90 percent of the black vote? And the answer is, probably not... .Geraldine Ferraro said it right. The problem is, Geraldine Ferraro is white. This campaign has such a hair-trigger on anything racial ... ...

John Kerry Thinks He's Helping

By Dave - Politics Daily

Tip to Hotline: John Kerry is emphatically not helping in the only way that John Kerry can: NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli reports that Kerry says Obama "has an ability to help us bridge the divide in religious extremism, to maybe even give power to moderate Islam." The reporter asks him why he'd say that, "What gives him credibility on that score." Kerry answers immediately: "Because he's African American. Because he's a black man." Wow. This is Geraldine Ferraro, take two. Will someone from the Obama campaign complain about this? Logically there's no difference. Come on guys, Obama's blackness is ...

Hell Hath No Fury

By Faye Anderson - Politics Daily

Geraldine Ferraro is on the war path. Ferraro is offended that Barack Obama included her in the same breath as Rev. Jeremiah Wright. In an interview with the Daily Breeze, Ferraro fumed:To equate what I said with what this racist bigot has said from the pulpit is unbelievable. He gave a very good speech on race relations, but he did not address the fact that this man is up there spewing hatred.Like a lot of people, she's not happy that Obama threw his white grandmother under the bus. "I could not believe that. That's my mother's generation." ...

The Not-so-Civil War

By David Knowles - Politics Daily

Suddenly, the cracks in the facade are apparent to anyone with eyes. With each passing day the Democratic party grows less and less structurally sound. While Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue their Civil War, John McCain's predicted rise is becoming a reality. Despite assurances by all the principle actors, party chiefs, and sympathetic pundits about huge Democratic fundraising advantages, overwhelming primary voter turnout, and the nation's steady disdain for all things Bush, it doesn't take a wild imagination to envision the Dem's doomsday scenario: A house divided against itself ...
