Dems Stacking the Deck in Virginia Primary
The Obama campaign is reaching out to Democrats from other states to help register voters for Tuesday’s presidential primary in Virginia. For the record, there is no Democratic primary in the Old Dominion.

After Party?
The Republican primary season has yielded no clear winners, frontrunners or favorites. The four remaining candidates are carving up voters and delegates and the prospect of going into the convention without a nominee is growing. With six months to go, it’s not yet possible to predict who will represent the GOP against Barack Obama in November, but it’s likely the selection process will get very dramatic.

Running the GOP Numbers
The race for the Republican nomination for President is still in the embryonic stages, and, as is always the case with politics, things can change overnight. Still, there are some very interesting (telling?) numbers to consider even this early in the process.

Iowa, Endorsements and a Possibility
Mitt Romney’s first place tie with Rick Santorum in the Iowa Caucuses have resulted in some curious punditry. It’s far too early in the electoral process to divine great wads of wisdom from the results, but some ideas are beginning to take shape.

Non-Predictions
I don’t like making predictions. Forecasting too often ricochets back on the conjurer and exposes him/her as … wrong. Ask any TV weatherperson – sorry – meteorologist. The first of the year is loaded with prophecies for the twelve months ahead as “experts” will fill columns and airtime with prognoses for everything from who will win Academy Awards to stock market picks, the Super Bowl, celebrity divorces (and deaths), natural disasters and the economy.

Politics of Desperation
The Iowa Caucus is a couple of weeks away and South Carolina’s “First in the South” primary just under a month. As the days slide away, so does respect and truth.

Deja Vu, Man
Life makes for some odd history. Remember “make love, not war” and “stick it to the man” of the ’60′s? Well, it’s back, but it ain’t exactly the same.

Will the Tea Party Re-Elect Barack Obama?
The “Tea Party” movement in the 2010 off-year elections re-created the national political landscape. A decidedly leftist Congressional and White House agenda, characterized by bullied health care legislation gave rise to a populist revolt not seen since the anti-war sentiments of the 1960′s. Now what?

The Unelectables
In early 2011, President Barack Obama is a seriously wounded politician. His reelection is vulnerable on virtually every issue and all but the most radical (and ignorant) demographics. He has out Jimmy Carter-ed Jimmy Carter, a feat most observers could not imagine possible. Nonetheless, he will likely be elected to a second term because the Republican Party is offering no electable alternative.
