As the primary season tapers off and Obama and McCain roll up their sleeves for the general election, Hillary Clinton remains oblivious to the cries of the people and the media to gracefully exit the stage. And, as expected, she's not. She's banking on the hopes that people will believe her baffling... Read more »

The funny thing about today’s politics is that about 90 percent of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with political issues.

So I know I may not be a diehard Obama follower, but am I really seeing what I am seeing? Halle Berry for Obama. Maya Angelou for Clinton. Will.I.Am for Obama. Barbara Streisand for Clinton. Instead of worrying which celebrities have endorsed the candidates, we should worry more about what kind of... Read more »

As someone who is about as far left as you can go on the political scale, I’m incredibly happy that the Democratic party has been getting as much attention as it has been lately. However, I’m not happy with the amount of coverage being given to certain politicians (Barack Obama) rather than others... Read more »

Political experience isn’t everything

March 17, 2008
Filed under Opinions

Experience? Plenty of people on Capitol Hill have experience. Ted Kennedy’s been passing legislation since the 1960s, John Kerry’s been involved in his anti-war activism since the 70s, and Karl Rove’s been the brainchild of the Republican party for decades. Read more »

Filed under Opinions

I don’t mind flip-floppers. I know, I’m condoning the biggest sin in American politics, but before you toss this paper and your neighbor’s away in a flurry of disbelief, think about what it really means for a politician to stick with his or her stances religiously. Read more »

Superdelegates not so super

March 15, 2008
Filed under News

In a country that prides itself on its democratic values, it seems inconsistent that one person’s vote would be worth more than another’s. Unfortunately, with a system like the one the democratic party uses to choose presidential candidates, this is exactly the case. The power Superdelegates hold... Read more »
