Paint the White House Black

By  David Knowles - Politics Daily
Paint the White House Black

If you're a Democrat, then you're having a big 'ol dance party right about now. May I suggest the following song, courtesy of George Clinton's ground-breaking 70's group, Parliament? To my friends on the right, yes, the title of this post, and the song lyrics are metaphorical. Yes, "real America" has voted, and it's pretty proud that the country has made history and looked beyond the idiocy of bogus attacks on patriotism, and fear of middle names and race. Congratulations, President-elect Obama! ...

McCain Declares Victory in Iraq

By  Dave - Politics Daily
McCain Declares Victory in Iraq

It's hard to fault McCain for beating on this drum... ...considering that last spring conventional wisdom said he was doomed for sticking to the president's plan in Iraq. But on the eve of Obama's visit to Iraq, McCain wants to remind everyone that this is his issue. But it's not the silver bullet that McCain apparently thinks it is. Republicans and Democrats won't change their minds on the issue, and the independents in the middle simply no longer see Iraq as a top issue. The best thing here is that Iraq has been moved from a losing issue for Republicans to a neutral issue. That's a ...

Obama to Declare Victory on May 21

By  Justin Paulette - Politics Daily
Obama to Declare Victory on May 21

In a move that will rock the Democratic foundations, Barack Obama will reportedly announce his victory as the Democratic nominee following the May 20 primaries in Kentucky and Oregon. The bold (perhaps reckless) declaration will excite party loyalists and spark an aggressive response from the Clinton campaign. Both sides will cite variously tortured numbers in support of their interpretations of the Democratic party's torturous nominating process. Obama's campaign will peg the threshold at 2,025 pledged and super-delegates (a tally excluding Florida and Michigan). Clinton will include those ...

Hillary Clinton '08, R.I.P.

By  David Knowles - Politics Daily
Hillary Clinton '08, R.I.P.

For a little while there, it looked like Hillary Clinton had a shot at mounting a comeback. But on Tuesday, that pesky math caught up with her. There's simply not enough time, or delegates, remaining for her to pull it out. Barack Obama has won. Such is the prognosis from all of those but the most hardened loyalists. Here then, a compendium of obituaries for Hillary's '08 bid for the presidency.First, a few editorials from today's papers:The Seattle Times gives us "Clinton's end: time to yield and unify," that conculdes:Clinton's campaign is over. She is perhaps the last to know. ...

McCain's CPAC Victory Speech

By  Justin Paulette - Politics Daily
McCain's CPAC Victory Speech

John McCain's well received victory speech, delivered (as fate would have it) at the Conservative Political Action Conference's Annual Convention in Washington, D.C, should be seen as the first speech of McCain's national campaign for the presidency. Thus, it has an importance beyond the present, and should be viewed as a portend of the campaign to come. To win the general election, McCain must appeal to conservative voters while continuing to attract moderates and independents. If he is able to do so with success, he may be in a position to sweep the nation in a potential landslide. If he ...

Colts' Week 3 Recap

By  Eric Conner - AOL News
Colts' Week 3 Recap

3-0. It sounds nice, doesn't it? Only 5 teams can say it right now, with the Colts being one of them.It sure didn't look like we were going to be 3-0 after the first quarter against the Jaguars on Sunday. The Jaguars went 78 yards on just 11 plays during the opening drive for an easy touchdown. On the Colts opening drive, they were forced to punt the ball away. Once again, the Jaguars started to drive right down the field. Maurice Jones-Drew was killing us. Heck, anyone who ran the ball was killing us. And then a huge momentum shift...Byron Leftwich overthrew his target in the red zone and ...
