7 Reasons Why Hillary Should Quit. Now.
weneedobama"1. It's over. Forget the sideshows and the hypotheticals. Once the party has its nominee, and only then, can the process of healing begin. The longer Clinton stays in the race, the more she postpones the point at which the party comes together. 2. The reality principle. Some things are impossible; many others are highly improbable."

Gas Tax Holiday Petition: The Gas Tax Scam
Dear Senator Clinton and Senator McCain: Please stop insulting the intelligence of the American people with pointless gas tax scams.

M. Bloomberg Says Gas Tax Holiday "Dumbest Thing I’ve Heard"
NY mayor Michael Bloomberg said today of the Clinton/McCain "gas tax holiday": “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in an awful long time from an economic point of view. I don’t understand why you think there’s any merit to it whatsoever". He also noted that it "would help Chavez, Qaddafi and other people like that." What next? Free puppies?

Ludicrous Clinton/McCain "Gas Tax Holiday" Widely Panned
The last couple of days have seen political "silly season" rise to new heights, with John McCain proposing, and then Hillary Clinton endorsing, the most brazen, ineffectual and fundamentally pander-laden proposal to come out of this election contest thus far. It would save you a whopping 28 bucks (if either candidate actually intended to do it).

The Clinton Strategy - Comic in This Modern World by TT
This will give you a good chuckle. This comic outlines the options available to Hillary in her ongoing campaign. Here's some spin "If it was backwards day in the states Obama won -- then those delegates are really pledged to Hillary!" and "If I win, magic ponies for all of you -- I promise!"

UK minister says Clinton's 'obliterate' Iran words imprudent
Wasn't she supposed to have passed the "commander in chief" test already? A British foreign minister said Wednesday that US Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's threat to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons was imprudent. "It is not prudent in today's world to threaten to obliterate any other country."

Barack Obama Is Like Tennis Pro Roger Federer
In essence, Hillary is like the tennis pro that's losing the US Open. They fake injury, lie and call medical timeouts, try to throw him off his game/rhythm, and generally get dramatic -- like Johnny McEnroe. Sometimes it works, but not with the Roger Federers of the world, who stay cool, calm and focused. My stepdad thinks Obama is like Roger Federer.

Hillary K. Mooney - Will You Please Go Now!
Perhaps the Democrats will take a cue from “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!” “The time has come. The time has come. The time is now. Just go. ... I don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Hillary R. Clinton, will you please go now! You can go on skates. You can go on skis. ... You can go in an old blue shoe."

Expected Malaise in the Proper Margins
Think of the best person you know -- the person who is the most wise, the most eloquent, the most honest, the most engaged in civic life -- the person you would most want to elect as the leader of our country. Then, think to yourself how this wonderful person you know would be rendered and destroyed by this corrupt and soulless nomination process.

Bush Disapproval Rating Hits Historic 69% - More than Nixon
It looks like President Bush has achieved a historical mark but it's certainly one he could have done without. Gallup says Bush's 69 percent disapproval rating is the highest it's ever recorded in history. That's right, his disapproval rating even surpasses that of President Richard Nixon at the height of Watergate!

Clinton on Olbermann Pledges to Nuke Iran if it Nukes Israel
This is not a joke. This is really scary news. On Keith Olbermann, Hillary Clinton explicitly and unequivocally pledged to use nuclear weapons against Iran is it used nukes against Israel: "Sen. Clinton confirmed Monday that as president she would be willing to use nuclear weapons against Iran if it were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel."

Debate Analysis: ABC Asked Most Scandal Questions
This debate over debates had me curious. Was ABC's debate really in a lowly class of its own? Or were Obama backers (inside the press and out) just being overly-sensitive? So I went through each of the four one-on-one contests between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, starting with CNN's debate way back on January 31...
