  • Giuliani speaking- out/not out?

    POSTED BY MARC BOXSER, JANUARY 29 2008 09:22 PM | PERMALINK

    Is he going to quit tonight? Sounds like it.. lots of past tense, "I want to congratulate my opponents... you young people should be very proud..." (Weird dis of Ron Paul)

    UPDATE: Hmmm.. guess not out yet, but certainly sounded like it. Rudy says he is proud that he ran a campign that was uplifting, and didn't stoop to negative ads. Well, not unless your Muslim.

  • Florida Governor for McCain

    POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, JANUARY 26 2008 07:50 PM | PERMALINK

    Shaking things up on the Republican side, hard-to-get Florida Governor Charlie Crist tonight endorsed John McCain. In fact, he did a live press conference, interrupting what could have been still-returning democratic primary results.  The news coup isn't as big as the political one.  Crist, a former state legislator and attorney general known as "Chain Gang Charlie" from his days insisting that prison inmates work behind bars, gives McCain the extra lift above Mitt Romney that might synch Florida for...

  • Giuliani: "Our Strategy Has Kinda Worked Out"

    POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, JANUARY 21 2008 03:51 PM | PERMALINK



    He's gone from "I'll win Florida" to "we'll get a strong showing." And he's been beat by Ron Paul two times already. Proving that, at the very least, the Texas M.D. should take a shot at Gracie Mansion.

  • The Ron Paul Revolution

    POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, NOVEMBER 30 2007 04:27 PM | PERMALINK

    Everyone knows they do things a little different in Texas, but unlike our sitting president, there's one Texan who doesn't try to solve major international problems by moving timber on his ranch, all while the photographers click away from a pre-established distance. Actually, there's nothing about distance that describes this Texan at all - he's the straight talking, no apologies, here's how I want it, no more IRS, Texas Congressmen Ron Paul. And he's starting a revolution.

    That's the first...

  • Taser Video

    POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, SEPTEMBER 19 2007 12:23 PM | PERMALINK



    By now, everyone knows about the University of Florida student who was tasered during Kerry's speech yesterday, and now comes the video. I really debated whether to put this up because you see very little, but I think it's important to hear it and discuss. Where are we that a non-violent student asking a legitimate question (why Kerry admitted defeat in 2000) can get tasered at an American university? How do we reconcile that type of punitive retalliation? (And is Florida still on edge...

  • Whatever happened to 'Democracy for America'?

    POSTED BY CHRIS BROUSSARD, AUGUST 29 2007 09:23 AM | PERMALINK

    Florida. Why is it always Florida? Recently, the Republican-controlled Florida legislature moved their presidential primaries up to Jan. 29, earlier than the Feb. 5 start date the Democratic National Committee, or DNC, set. As a result, the DNC, as it said it would, will not count the votes of Florida's delegates at next year's nominating convention.

    It's a crafty move by the Republicans. By changing the date of primary elections, they have instigated an internal squabble in the Democratic Party,...
