You don’t need to come here to find out how Obama did in the Potomac Primaries today, you’ve probably heard it elsewhere by now. However, since I shared my worry with you all yesterday I felt like I needed to share some of my (tentative) relief.
I wasn’t so surprised Obama won, but I suspect I’m not alone in my surprise of how he won. I don’t remember hearing that he…
Friends, I come before you (figuratively speaking) to share my fears.
I’m afraid 2004 will repeat itself.
Before I get to the specific fear, let me lay out a little history for you. The first presidential election I was eligible to participate in was the 1992 election. What a time to be a registered Democrat, eh? Although the Democratic hegemony in the Florida Legislature was coming to a…
Proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution, which will appear on the ballot this November:
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA THAT:
A new section for Article I is hereby created to add the following:
Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid…
It’s been a couple days since the Florida primary. Although I’ve spent most of them trying to cough up a lung, I’ve had a little time to read some news. Lucky for you I’m taking a sick day today, and a fever has a way of loosening my tongue a little ;-) After my little talk with lonely poll workers I’ve learned that turnout was actually up since our last Presidential…
Even with the move of our primary date (to today), I wouldn’t have guessed it would still be relevant. I know Florida is a big state with a lot of delegates. I know it’s been pivotal in recent elections. Still, I thought most nominations were sown up by the time South Carolina had its say. I hear some of my fellow Floridians with “listed” phone numbers are inundated by push…
Alright, let’s not get crazy here. We’ve got a long road to travel before we can unload all of our baggage. But… this gives me a little bit of hope.
Poll: Giuliani slips to third in Florida – Miami Herald:
Rudy Giuliani has hit the skids in a Florida freefall that could shatter his presidential campaign and leave a two-man Republican contest in the state between John…
With all the attention focused on the start of primary season, George has had a chance to lay low for a while. It was kind of nice to forget about him for a while. Well, maybe repress is a better word.
Then I read one sentence in an article about his Middle East trip, and years of political angst dropped right back in my lap.
Reality bites Bush’s Mideast peace plan – McClatchy :

Now that Iowa and New Hampshire have had their say, it seems to me they’ve cancelled each other out. The Democratic front runners are still the co-front runners, Romney got his “silvers,” and the Iowa Republicans made their typical wing-nut choice, who’ll hopefully go away now, with his hard earned footnote to history in hand. (Although it didn’t work out so well last…
Hillary Clinton is not my first choice in the Democratic primaries. I don’t have strong feelings about her like many do, but my preferences lie elsewhere. Still, coming back from a ten point deficit in the polls? In a couple days? That’s crazy talk. My wife still has family in New Hampshire, and if you’re out there reading right now, I’ve gotta ask: what’s the deal?
