LA Democratic Debate - Hillary vs. Obama: Preview
This is it. What we’ve been waiting for all along. Tonight is when all of the niceties and the side stories and the “veiled” jabs come to an end. Now it’s just Hillary vs. Obama. Oh, boy…
CNN and Wolf Blitzer have the most talked-about and potentially most exciting debate of them all tonight at the […]
McCain gets Schwarzenegger…
…and Rick Perry - a Giuliani vet. But Ahnold is the big catch in a state where it’s super-important to get big names and big publicity on board. The mainstream/moderate wing of the GOP appears to be forming ranks behind McCain. He’s the frontrunner and supposed nominee. How can Romney’s cash beat this?
The California Governator […]
GOP California debate: Candidate Rundown
Viewers of last night’s Republican debate from the Reagan Library certainly got their 90-minutes’ worth, as it was an event full of sparks and personal attacks. McCain clearly emerged as the frontrunner in the race, while Romney tried his darnedest to play catch-up ina fight he’s losing. Nobody blew away the field and both McCain […]

Rudy backs McCain: What does it mean?
The hours before tonight’s Republican debate at the Reagan Library in California brought the wholly expected announcement from Rudy Giuliani that he was immediately dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing good friend John McCain. The feeling of resignation regarding his status in the race and the kind words for McCain flowed freely from […]
Edwards leaves the race
Faltering Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards announced the “suspension” (polispeak for “I’m getting the heck out”) of his ‘08 campaign in an emotional and very sad press conference outside of a rebuilding project in New Orleans. It was where Edwards enthusiastically launched what would have seemed to be competitive bid back in December […]
Florida: McCain wins momentum
The easy victory McCain won last night in Florida over Romney gives him two in a row and a nice cache of delegates. But the most important thing the McCain campaign gains heading out of the Sunshine State and into Super Tuesday is momentum. Momentum that can translate into much-needed cash and free publicity and […]
FLORIDA: MCCAIN WINS
CNN AND FOX CALL IT FIRST, OTHER NETWORKS FALL IN LINE QUICKLY… A GROWING LEAD FOR JMAC LED TO THE CALL… ROMNEY STUNNED AFTER HIS SUPER RUN IN FLA DURING THE FINAL WEEK…
Looks like the suspicious “independents” allowed to vote in South Florida and a solid majority among Cuban-Americans were a big difference-maker here. Late-arriving […]
