Haley Bows Out of the Race for the Whitehouse

DB @dgobucks226 (37621) 9 Mar 24

Seems Nikki Haley was unable to derail that last man in the primaries, or as Biden would say, my predecessor, from getting the Republican nomination for president. After Super Tuesday, with all but just "one state" going for the...

Call me crazy – how about a Trump/Sanders ticket?

Linda Cann Pearson @LindaCPearson (2240) • United States 27 Apr 16

This idea just came to me after mulling over the results of last night’s primaries. It looks like Trump is on the brink of becoming the Republican nominee, eliminating the need for a contested convention. In fact, he has declared...

NY Polls Closing Soon?

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 19 Apr 16

I don't know what time the polls close in NY tonight. They might already be closed for all I know. I suppose we'll find out in the morning who were the victors and who were the vanquished. Will Hillary and The Donald take...

Marco Rubio Out

Nanette Piotrowski @nanette64 (20363) • Fairfield, Texas 16 Mar 16

It was evident in yesterday's 5-state primaries, that Rubio was going to be out; especially after coming in second in his own home state of Florida with only 27% of the vote and finishing last in the other 4 states. Hillary...

Big Vote Tomorrow in Florida

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128832) • Gainesville, Florida 14 Mar 16

Well, tomorrow is the big day for Florida, and four other states. Time for the people to get out and vote in the primaries. Up for grabs for the Republicans are 367 delegates, and 792 for the Democrats. The two big states are...

Can Trump Be Stopped from Getting the GOP Presidential Nomination?

Paul Kuehn @pauliek (287) • Udon Thani, Thailand 24 Feb 16

I just read about Donald Trump's convincing victory over Cruz and Rubio in the Nevada caucuses. Now that Trump has won three out of the first Republican primaries, can his bandwagon be stopped? Trump has given the Republican...

Are You Following the Presidential Caucuses?

Lynn Proctor @ThankyouLord (698) • St. Petersburg, Florida 4 Feb 16

Well, it seems that we have a long way to go, as the candidates go from state to state, trying to win over voters. They talk, they fight, they insult one another, then they all go have a beer together. What a show. And the press...

Should there be a dress code at the polls?

Bd200789 @Bd200789 (2994) • United States 4 Oct 08

In Pennsylvania, a voter was told to cover the writing on her shirt before she voted in the state's presidential primary. She was wearing an Obama shirt. The Republican Party supports a dress code and Democrats oppose it. I think...

Why Clinton Lost

bailian @bailian (6) 29 Jul 08

Only a few short years ago, it was taken as a given that Hillary Clinton would be, in 2008, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. It was presumed to be inevitable; we were deluged with assertions that she was...

Why Clinton Lost: Change and the Bush legacy

bailian @bailian (6) 29 Jul 08

As Hunter has pointed out, Hillary Clinton lost the nomination for a variety of reasons and in a variety of ways, some of them seemingly counter-intuitive. For example, as the presumptive front-runner, she adopted a hyper-cautious...

Why Clinton Lost: She didn't channel supporter passion.

bailian @bailian (6) 29 Jul 08

At the end of December, if you read comments at Daily Kos, you'd have noticed a lot of people talking about their plans to go to Iowa or New Hampshire to volunteer for their candidates. I wanted to give those people the credit...

Why Clinton Lost: Too Soon a Bulldog

bailian @bailian (6) 29 Jul 08

Her politics never really thrilled me, but then I was never thrilled by Bill's, either. Both of them had a tendency to compromise when I thought they should stand tough, and stonewall when they should have been open. The whole...

Why Clinton Lost (And Why Obama Just May Win Big In November)

bailian @bailian (6) 29 Jul 08

But change was taking place. From coast to coast, red states to blue, ordinary Americans were called upon to do an extraordinary thing -- hope again. Obama's near-perfect campaign execution coupled with the very real desire to...

Does Obama really have a chance in Michigan and Florida?

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 18 Jul 08

I was looking at the electoral map on CNN and they still list Michigan and Florida as toss up states. Remember folks, these are the states that Obama agreed to disenfranchise. He went with the DNC and decided our votes didn't...

What do you think of republicans voting for democrats in the primaries?

makelifehappy @vera5d (4004) • United States 5 Mar 08

Rush Limbaugh was campaigning for all republicans to go out and vote for hillary to screw up the democrat primaries. You would think that people smart enough to listen to Rush are independent thinkers, but not the case. Many...

We're Seeing the Problems Caused by Open Primaries.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 5 Mar 08

Yesterday was primary day for a handful of states. Among them, Texas and Ohio. Those two states both have "open primaries" (where you don't have to be a party member to vote). Hillary won pretty impressively in both states, but...

What's the difference between Obama and Clinton?

AnnaMichael @AnnaMichael (30) • United States 4 Mar 08

In your opinion, what are the main differences between these two candidates? From what I've heard/read, they seem to have many similar views and proposed policy changes, etc. So, what, if anything, do you see as substantially...

Is this election year drawing more attention because we have good choices, or

mehale @mehale (2200) • United States 21 Feb 08

because if a Dem wins it will be a "first"?? Every day one of the major news networks mentions the fact that there are record numbers of people voting in the primaries and paying attention to this years presidential campaign. I...

Obama, what should Minimum Wage be set at?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 20 Feb 08

Barak Hussein Obama stated that "no one who works should be poor". Let's look at that statment, shall we? If no one who works should be poor, he is saying that the income of everyone who works should be above the poverty...
