Good question! We were wondering about poor Florence Steen’s quest for on absentee ballot for the SD June 3 primary to cast her vote for Hillary. Will it count?
Slate’s Explainer has the answer:
No. As dictated by a 2001 state law, the South Dakota Department of Health is responsible for furnishing the county auditors […]

So says Chadwick Matlin of Slate. He sees her now with a 2.5% chance to win.
Start with George McGovern pulling his support of Hillary. McGovern says she waged a valiant campaign, but now is the time for her to say good-bye.
She loaned herself $6.4 million last month and apparently the dollars haven’t been […]

As Jeff Miller on A Dash of Insight notes, Hillary and McCain are in favor of a plan that would make gas taxes go away for a while - just to help out the little people. How nice of them. Right? Not really.
Barack Obama along with every reachable economic authority on the vast expanse of […]

Well before we get started, a major tip of the hat is in order to UBS for their great reports, Obamanomics and McCainomics. These reports are both great and in depth, we will barely scratch the surface of them so we would strongly recommend that you find a copy of them yourselves. Now with that […]

OK, you’ve won the White House. David Shribman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette got a chance to talk with both Dem candidates, and one of the things he asked was which portraits each would choose to redecorate.
Both took Abe (Obama noted that he was from IL and didn’t have much experience)

Although most pundits view the money race as only secondary to the actually primaries, there’s no doubt that funds play a large role. Maybe it’s just that […]

It becomes difficult to take a position on any given event when news outlets give completely opposing viewpoints. Honestly, when The New Yorker attacks a debate that had supposedly no substance and the Wall Street Journal claims it had just as much substance as any other debate this year - but mostly in the second […]

How can there be a debate controversy? There have been so many debates in this election that the process seems pretty routine, albeit with a few variations.
During Wednesday’s debate we were struck by the apparent change in focus of the questions. The issues had been thoroughly discussed in the past, so the emphasis […]

In case you’ve grown tired (as many have) of the Obama-Clinton debate analysis, I’d like to bring up one of the only issues that was thoroughly discussed last night. The Capital Gains Tax is considered frivolous by many engaged in the market. Therefore, increasing the Capital Gains Tax is not a very market friendly move.
Obama […]

Penn has resigned (been demoted) by the Hillary campaign, and the Colombians are royally bent out of shape about his apologies about his “error in judgment”. He is out of a job with them for sure. Hill and Bill were non too happy either (furious).
“The worst kept secret in the whole Democratic race […]
