Ms. Clinton: Her Ego and Ambition
It is disturbing to me that Ms. Clinton is now running around asking donations to defray her campaing debt. Yet, after a certain point, she knew the probability of her getting the nomination was remote, at best. The debt was incurred long after this fact was known. Either her ego or her disdain at...

THE ARGUMENT FOR SUPER DELEGATES
At first glance, I determined that super delegates are a bad idea.That the candidates are asked to present their approaches and positions in primaries and caucuses are the only objective way to select the nominee of the party. What is the purpose of the time and money spent to traverse the country,...

SENATOR CLINTON: "NO QUITTER?"
I will not call Senator Clinton dishonest or hypocritical. That would be so easy to do. Yet I must ask whether she believes the small states' delegates are important, and when did she conclude that? Until now she emphasised her win in the big states. Is it only because her fortunes are not as she...

Just Asking.
It is inconceivable to me that a person of colour is considered a viable candidate for the Presidency of the United States, yet none of the TV networks, nor the major cable stations, has an anchor of colour. Am I to conclude that the President of the United States requires less gravitas than the...

Hillary and Barack
There are two articles on the Opinion page of today's Wall Street Journal in respect to Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama. I have been moved to make the following analysis. In your opinion are my conclusions objective? Although Mr. Davis tries to chastise Mr Obama for his approach and response to the...

THE KING EFFECT
On April 5 th 1968, I landed in the United States for the first time. I was on my way to London to attend one of the traditional English Inns of Court to become a Barrister at Law. In my country of origin this placed me in an elite class primarily because of the prestige being a Barrister accorded...

IS SENATOR McCAIN TOO OLD?
John McCain will turn 72 in August. If he goes on to win the presidency in November he will be the oldest American to enter that high office. Though his opponents have only nibbled around the corners of the issue, Mr. McCain's age will certainly emerge as the presidential sweepstakes unfold. Indeed,...

NY TIMES and McCAIN
There is no smoke without fire. The fact that Governor Huckabee has continued his campaigning in defiance of the pressure to quit may be interpreted to indicate that he, and his supporters, know something we don't know? Is this alleged scandal the whole, or only part, of what they may know? Is this...

CLINTON vs OBAMA
There are few, except Senator Obama and his most ardent supporters, who could have believed that he would emerge such a popular figure and would now threaten the conventional wisdom of the pundits that Senator Clinton would be the nominee of the Democratic Party. Just a few short weeks or so ago,...

THE IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL EXPERIENCE
On December 26, 2007, b2008 desired to know the justification for Senator Clinton to tout her tenure as First Lady as giving her experience to make her better prepared to assume the presidency of the United States. I will not answer that question here. I will attempt to show that historically,...
