“What we shouldn’t be spending time doing is tearing each other down. We should be spending time lifting the country up.” — Barack Obama
He said that after Hillary’s lame “plagiarism” accusation in the debate tonight. What I notice about it isn’t just that it’s Obama’s typical positivity, but that it’s religious language.

In early voting in Texas, voter turnout is up by an order of magnitude. I don’t think they’re turning out in droves to vote for the virtual-incumbent. Ouch.

System Worries Clinton Backers
They’re only learning about this now? If you’re interested here’s some information on Texas’ weird primary structure, the structure that the Clinton campaign only [...]
Regarding Castro And The Embargo
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Castro’s regime has withstood the embargo to its end. The embargo has brought about no change in Castro’s policies. The embargo has done absolutely nothing except strengthen Castro’s regime. Castro won. Is it time to rethink our strategy now?
