Colin Powell Portrait Unveiled to Tears and Cheers
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyGen. Colin Powell returned to the State Department Monday for an emotional unveiling of his official Secretary of State portrait. Powell and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presided over the unveiling of the portrait, which will hang with those of the other former secretaries of State in the secretary's suite of offices. When Powell was introduced to speak in the Ben Franklin room on the top floor at the department, the crowd cheered and applauded loudly. Powell was surrounded his immediate family -- wife Alma Powell, daughter Linda Powell, son Michael Powell, daughter-in-law ...

There's Something About Sarah
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 17) -- Everyone is calling this Palin Week because Sarah Palin's talk show blitz has begun and her memoir, "Going Rogue," is hitting stores now. But last week also felt a lot like Palin Week. And at this rate, next week will, too. There's always another angle to the Sarah Palin story. The week began with a slew of polls that don't bode well for any White House ambitions Palin might have. Only 28 percent of people questioned by CNN said the ex-governor of Alaska is qualified to be president. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll, three out of every five deemed her unqualified. And her ...

Will Sarah Palin Run for Re-Election in Alaska?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWill she or won't she? Will Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin seek re-election in 2010, or does she have her eyes set on a bigger prize? According to Politico, several prospective candidates from both parties are betting that it's one term and out for Palin. If Palin were to try for a second term, the 2012 presidential election would pose something of an interesting hurdle for her, as a former Palin staffer points out, "If she runs for governor, though, she is going to have to answer the question: Are you going to get elected and then take off for Iowa?" Palin herself recently refused to commit to ...
Blagojevich Recites Poetry and Wolf Blitzer Dances
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUnfortunately, not at the same time.Here are a couple of video treats that seem to have slipped through the cracks here at The Political Machine. The first is Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, giving one of his Caligula-Meets-Fellini press conferences upon learning of his impeachment. Apparently, Blago thinks reciting poetry at press conferences is his "thing" now, kinda like how my co-workers make me perform "Baby Got Back" at every company party.Here's something you won't see anywhere else, a dissection of Blagojevich's Sunday-school lesson, courtesy of Lady of Light, my favorite ...
Wolf Blitzer: Sidney Who?
By Eric McErlain - AOL NewsCredit Snoopyjode from The Sidney Crosby Show for digging up the following random clip. Earlier this month, Wolf Blitzer was interviewing former Republican Congressman Dick Armey and Democratic strategiest Donna Brazile on CNN's Situation Room. At the 1:42 mark, Armey drops Sidney Crosby's name and suggests that if Hillary Clinton could gain his endorsement, it could carry her to victory in the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary.At the 2:09 mark a puzzled Blitzer asks Armey, "Who's Sidney Crosby?":As we noted yesterday, the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary, which seems like it's been going on ...
Time's Up Superdelegates: Obama or Clinton?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThis is the message from DNC Chairman Howard Dean. Pencils down. Is that your final answer? Via CNN:An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they're for--and "I need them to say who they're for starting now.""We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time," the Democratic National Committee Chairman told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We've got to know who our nominee is."If Dean has shown us anything over the course of this election cycle--and readers of this column have varying opinions on the subject--it's that he ...
Charles Barkley 'Promises' to Run for Alabama Governor in 2014
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsIt feels like it's been all Charles Barkley all week long (he's been in Playboy, he's lost over a comma gambling), which is fantastic. Almost as fantastic as the idea of him running for governor of Alabama in 2014, which is what he told Wolf Blitzer this afternoon in the CNN Situation Room (Update - Now with video). In fact, Barkley went so far as to point out that he purchased a home in the state last year and that he was going to fulfill all the talk that we have heard about him diving headfirst into politics. BARKLEY: Well, I just bought a house in 2007. And in 2014, I promise you I'm going ...
'This Is An Important Question'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhenever you hear Wolf Blitzer say those words, you know, without a doubt, that whatever it is he's about to say will be anything but important. The man's insecurity was in full view last night as he assured viewers that what they were about to hear was important, and that they were hearing it from the "Best Political Team on Television." In advertising, if you say something enough you might just convince people its true. Iraq was a nuclear threat. Dunkin' Doughnuts are a healthy lifestyle choice. Wolf Blitzer is about to say something important. Crumple these claims and file them all away in ...
