The headline on this video says that Senator Fred Thompson looked "Shaky," during his first GOP debate, but I thought he looked silly. His tie was too tight and his head looked too big and his answers seemed contrived and weird. Who knows maybe this type of swaggering from the actor will appeal to the Republican base, but if Thompson wants to compete maybe he should stick with pithy ironic YouTube videos to conduct his campaign.The headline on this video says that Senator Fred Thompson looked "Shaky,"... more

It happens to be Obama, but that's not what matters. What matters is that there should be an ongoing discussion about what sense nuclear proliferation makes. When there are already more atomic bombs than we would need to destroy the entire planet, does it really make sense to constantly give in to this nationalistic machismo whereby states feel they need to stock up in order to play an international role and 'defend' (preemptive?) themselves. All I'm saying is, there's also the other option, at least theoretically... that of eliminating them. Discuss. It happens to be Obama, but that's not what matters. What matters is that there... more

At least according to this poll. Bill is pretty hot. I mean he did get all those lady interns.
"Playboy.com runs a regular feature called "Battle of the Sexiest" where two famous people are pitted against each other (many times tongue in cheek) and Playboy.com visitors vote on who they think is sexier. The latest "Battle of the Sexiest" asks who would make the "prettier first lady": Ann Romney or Bill Clinton?
Voting ended Friday morning and Bill Clinton won. "At least according to this poll. Bill is pretty hot. I mean he did get all those... more

Well he kinda looks like Hillary to me. "Rudy Giuliani made a simple case for his presidential candidacy Saturday to a national convention of Republican women: He's not Hillary Clinton...He elicited laughs as he dismissed Clinton's calls for universal health coverage as "Hillarycare" and pooh-poohed her proposal to give every American-born child a $5,000 college bond."

Man, this article bums me out. Apparently, voters turn out in higher numbers when the negativity has been turned on, in part because people remember negative information longer (or at least that there was something negative about the person even if they can't remember the source or the specific info (is that good??)), and in part because they like feeling that they have the ability to be critical of our leadership.
The article argues that negative ads tend to be more substantive - candidates have to clarify their positions, back up their points with fact etc. But I'm not convinced that's actually/always true. Remember Swift Boat Veterans For Truth? Many negative ads turn out to be simply made up and yet, as with Swift Boat, they can have a HUGE impact.
Wouldn't it be so cool if we could have substantive messaging from candidates without the attacks? And people could vote based on policy? Man...that'd be awesome.Man, this article bums me out. Apparently, voters turn out in higher numbers when the... more

We all remember Hillary getting burned the last time she played this game, after she wrote a health plan when hubby Bill was president (the mess triggered her transition from vocal partner to her husband to the muted more traditional first lady look and feel - it was weird). This time around, she's keeping it simple, leaving more options on the table and using the individual mandate principle (similar to how state's require driver's licenses or car insurance) that's widely politically accepted.
Sounds fine, although in truth - that plan she wrote during Bill's days was actually a really good one, if politically unfeasible. Here's to hoping the new plan offers many (all?!) of the benefits of her original, but in a manner that the politicians will actually go for.
And...don't you love how the WSJ uses illustrations instead of pictures?! I do!We all remember Hillary getting burned the last time she played this game, after she... more
