Ralph Nader has announced that he is running for president in 2008. Superdelegates are an important factor and will determine how the Obama/Clinton race goes. Huckabee ironically overstayed his welcome on a recent Saturday Night Live sketch. McCain is very upset at the New York Times’ article that tried all too hard to prove a [...]

Fervent supporters think that Hillary still has a chance for nomination. Obama’s populist take towards politics and the election is a time tested technique. The General Election is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Obama’s plan for America draws many parallels to our neighbors of the north, Canada. Hillary’s double-digit lead in Ohio [...]

Hillary attacks, of all things, one of Obama’s biggest strengths. Barack Obama would make the most ‘change’ if he decided to end the War on Terror overall. An interesting story was written on John McCain, but as to whether it was good information… A look at a preview of last night’s debate shows preconceptions compared [...]

It’s not Chicago, but it does have that vote early, vote often feel to us Midwesterners far from the heart of Texas. A Texas voter needs to vote in the primary to allocate 126 of the delegates. Texas has 31 state Senate districts, and delegates are distributed according to a formula based on past voter [...]

McCain will be much more successful in 2008 if he sticks to the issues. The once favorite Clinton was embarrassed with a 17 point defeat in Wisconsin. All the Clinton campaign excuses for their candidate’s loss are not applicable to Wisconsin. But could Hillary be a more electable candidate than Obama? That remains to be [...]

TV media relies upon various production assistants to put up charts and graphics. In our office the frequent mistakes are called “intern errors” and we have fun spotting them. Confusing the person who is now the favorite to be the next President with our country’s biggest enemy seems like a rather grave error, but it [...]

This is a quick overview of some basic impacts that the current presidential candidates positions on not only the Iraq War but also homeland security in general could have into the homeland defense sector of the market. The defense sector is composed largely of, but not limited to, many of the companies listed in our [...]

Ohio has decided elections before, but this is a first at deciding the nomination. It has 91 pledged delegates proportional to each congressional district (also 70 “Super Delegates”). Some districts are “more equal” than others. The Chicago Tribune political blog, The Swamp, has the skinny. * The most delegate-heavy district in the state is the [...]

With Obama now a 4-1 favorite to win the Democratic nomination (as always, see the InTrade probabilities in the left column) some are thinking ahead a bit to balancing the tickets. Geoffrey James writes about many subjects, and we especially enjoy his blog, Sales Machine. James correctly notes that candidates are making a sale, and [...]

Obama’s supposed lack of experience may put him at a disadvantage to McCain. McCain’s extraordinary comeback may have been the biggest ever. Wisconsin’s role remains left to be seen for sure, but it will most likely be one of the final deciding factors in the race. Obama’s decisive win there(and Hawaii) could be the tipping [...]
