Another wow. I cannot believe Romney beat McCain by such a big margin in the Republican Michigan Primary. Like it or not, I guess the game is still on. Huckabee, McCain, and Romney are still full on. And what the heck is the deal with the Democrats doing with Hillary vs. “Uncommitted”? That is just …

Aftermath of the 2008 New Hampshire Primaries
Wow, it was another exciting night watching the numbers come in for the 2008 New Hampshire Primaries. I was very happy to see McCain come out on top by a significant margin on the Republican side. Romney keeps trying to buy the election and he shifts his talk every time the wind shifts. I don’t …

My View on the 2008 New Hampshire Primaries
I haven’t been too productive today. One of those reasons is my flipping through the 3 national news channels: CNN, FoxNews, and MSNBC.

My Choices for the 2008 Iowa Caucuses
If I was in Iowa (which I am obviously not), these are the ways I would go. In the Republican camp, it is a no-brainer. I would have to go with John McCain. Both Huckabee and Romney are out. If they were to win, I will sooner choose a Democratic candidate than Huckabee and Romney. …

Pondering the 2008 Presidential Candidates – Democrats
Continuing my previous post on “Pondering the 2008 Presidential Candidates – Republicans”, I now focus on my take on the Democratic candidates. As I said in the last post, my inclination towards Republican views are a bit on shaky grounds based on my growing social and environmental concerns. In many ways, I wish there is …

Pondering the 2008 Presidential Candidates – The Republicans
Because I have traditionally leaned Republican, I will start off by making a few comments about the Republican side of the 2008 Presidential candidates. I want to make it clear that I am a pragmatic guy. I think idealism is great to strive for but it takes time to make it happen. I also believe …

Revealing My Political Views
I have resisted making public comments about my political views and opinions because I am not one that likes to “mix it up” with endless debates with people who are fundamentally opposed to what I believe. Everyone has their own sensibilities and I tend to believe if you cannot agree, you have to settle for …
