Forget ageism, racism, sexism: which presidential candidate has used the least spin?

2008-03-26T05:55:32Z

The reasons I haven’t been fully supportive of John McCain have largely been from GOP-voting friends who have met him. They speak of a man who seems empty with a cold handshake. McCain supporters might say that that is a sign of a man who hates po...

John McCain: thankful for his service

2008-03-26T02:00:48Z

I am not Sen. John McCain’s biggest cheerleader by any means—heck, I even made fun of him on national television—but there are aspects of his life where you think, ‘Man, this guy has served his country.’ And when I say ‘served his country,’ I don...

Who is the most active presidential hopeful?

2008-03-22T05:10:58Z

This is off a page on Digg, which is what you might guess when it comes to involvement in digital media. One might even say it reflects their personalities. Barack Obama is very active, Hillary Clinton hasn’t been active for a few weeks, and John ...

Hillary Clinton refuses to answer newspaper’s 12 questions

2008-02-24T03:10:20Z

Pravda, the mouthpiece of the CCCP many moons ago, asked Sen. Hillary Clinton 12 questions, to which it has not received a reply beyond a standard, anonymous answer of two years ago. Repeated contact has amounted to nothing. Even Dick Cheney’s of...

Shock: McCain and Clinton are closest to me

2008-02-06T10:44:22Z

I was at GinBaby’s Vox blog and noticed she had done the Glassbooth poll on which potential presidential candidate is closest to our own views. I decided to try it out and it was a huge surprise what my results are. 66%, Barack Obama (i.e. Sen. O...

Hillary Clinton is no friend of American workers—so why do they like her?

2008-02-06T07:27:03Z

New Zealanders and Americans are divided by a common language, it seems. All the reports I read about the US election said that the economy is the number one issue on Americans’ minds. Why, then, did Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton do so well in th...

Feeling odd, or well?

2008-02-05T05:23:07Z

Anyone remember the 1984 Apple Macintosh TV commercial? A YouTube poster called ParkRidge47 has made an edited version with Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Big Brother role. For a home-made vid, this is really good. Please note that this video was...
