Pass the turkey, the stuffing and…
the absentee ballots?
That very well could be the new Thanksgiving tradition if you’re from New Hampshire and plan on celebrating the annual family gathering somewhere other than your own homestead.
Here in South Carolina (where we’re rounding out a few days of r’n’r), the big news this morning in political circles is […]

By luck I find myself along with my family in the Charleston, South Carolina area getting a little r ‘n’ r (of course lucky us it’s supposed to be in the 100 degree zone the whole time we’re here), and that affords me the chance to enjoy a little southern hospitality and relax.
One of my favorite […]

In my consulting career I’ve been asked to put together a goodly amount of RFPs (Requests For Proposals) on behalf of my clients. Usually they’ve got some kind of problem that needs to be resolved and they look to the best and brightest in a particular field to tell them how the problem can be solved and how […]

The other day I posted about what I perceived to be the futility of attending a CuyCo GOP Central/Executive Committee meeting to discuss a proposed party platform. My senitments were that it was already a done deal and that the folks who opposed the platform (mostly because they wanted to offer amendments, etc.) wouldn’t be […]

In what could only be characterized as true political theatre, late this morning Arizona Senator John McCain took to the floor of the Senate to once again reiterate his support for President Bush’s failed policy in Iraq. At the same time word was being given out to the media that the McCain for President […]

I was happy to see that Bill Moyers had a piece on the PBS front page which involved Victor Gold and the state of the Republican party. We recently reviewed Gold’s book (Invasion of the Party Snatchers) on this page and it remains a high volume traffic recipient.
Even though I believe that Moyers provides a very […]

Hmmm… big donors paying the county party stool’s salary because the party can’t raise the funds legitimately. Gee that sounds familiar.
I wonder if Jacobson pledged to be a “full-time” chairman?

Well the emails are already starting to roll in from the folks who think I was being unfair to Elizabeth Edwards in characterizing yesterday’s Hardball estrogen-laced verbal arm wrestling match with Ann Coulter as a stunt.
Here’s my favorite from 3:56 this morning:
How dare you question Elizabeth’s reasons for calling the Hardball program yesterday? Any mother in […]

Ann Coulter’s blithering statements designed to get attention, or Elizabeth Edwards calling Hardball to “politely ask” Coulter to stop making the statements?

I got a notice in the mail today from the Republican National Committee indicating that my my commitment of financial support was “Past Due”. I don’t remember ever making that commitment, and I find it a little offensive that ol’ Mike would presume it okay to send me a bill marked past due, when […]
