Editorial - Specter Paints Pennsylvania Senate Map Blue

admin @ April 28, 2009 # No Comment Yet

So part of the reason Senator Specter made the switch to join the Democrats is so that he would not lose his place on the ballot as senatorial candidate of the Republican Party in 2010. The general consensus is that Specter will not have any serious Democratic primary opponents that could unseat him next year. I understand Senator Specter wants to win another term but I did not expect him to switch parties to do so.

Until at least the midterm elections next year, two Democratic senators will represent my home state.

This is a first in my lifetime.

Pt. 3-Eyewitness to History: A Volunteer’s Experience With the Obama Campaign

admin @ February 6, 2009 # No Comment Yet

Pt 3 - General Election 2008

There was no let up in the campaign after the Fellows Program ended. Quite the contrary. Iona, Dawn and Peter were hired as Field Organizers. We quickly began building upon the work we had done in the summer. Field Organizers were divided up into township areas for the general election. Andrew was assigned the Greater Media and Great Middletown teams. Peter was assigned to Chester and soon after the summer the Obama campaign opened an office in Chester. Dawn was assigned to greater Yeadon and Iona to greater Chadds Ford. Julie was assigned to Upper Darby and Jessi to Ardmore. The Ardmore office was the third to open. As the campaign moved on, Josh was hired for the Ridley area, Matt was hired to work with Andrew and Omari was hired to work with Peter in Chester. Offices were opened in Darby, Upper Darby and Ridley later in the campaign.

iPhone report: Reflections on the Inauguration‏

admin @ January 20, 2009 # No Comment Yet

The Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United
States was an emotionally charged event for me and the people I met
today.

I met people from all over the country since I arrived Sunday night
and they all spoke of our new President as a poltican that will engage
the country and bring us together as a people.

Today was a huge celebration of our democracy.

Eyewitness to History: A Volunteer’s Experience with the Obama Campaign

admin @ January 16, 2009 # No Comment Yet

Some moments of your life catch you by surprise. You work on Day One and the next thing you know, you are working nonstop and do not stop for seven months. Some of these moments are the culmination of a lifetime of interest. Some come because you feel like you can have an impact on something greater than yourself. A spring inside you has been flowing for most of you life and now it has been tapped. This moment introduces you to experiences and people you would have never experienced if Day One never happened. And as you look back on it, that moment, that one instance when you put one foot in front of the other and marched, was one of the greatest experiences of your life.

Op Ed:President-Elect Obama, You Must NOT Be Silent

admin @ January 4, 2009 # No Comment Yet

The fact is, while Mr. Bush, Mr. Olmert, Ms. Livni, Mr. Netanyahu, Ms. Rice, Mr. Cheney, Mr. al-Masri and the rest orchestrate their brutal murders, we will never advance as a species until we accept that ALL WARS ARE FAILURES. When you orchestrate a war that incinerates a child, the death of that child, the blood of that child, the loss of that child, will tarnish you forever. All situations are failures when innocents are harmed. If one child injures another in a sandbox, their play date was a failure. If a police car kills innocents during a pursuit, the pursuit was a failure. If a father burns his house down while attempting to warm it, the attempt was a failure. If children die in war, the war was a failure. Of this, I have not doubt.

2012 Presidential Candidates;a Briefer Than Brief Brief

Before I go ANY further into this essay / research piece - I want YOU, fellow pol-spotters, to pass along some of your “suspects” from ANY party - whether via:

Let’s hear the names you have milling around in the back of your head - or candidates you’d like to see - or trial balloons you’d like to float - or solid “yes I am considerings…”, whether it’s Ron Paul, former NM Gov Gary Johnson, former Gov Jesse Ventura, Loretta Null, Steve Kubby, Gov Blagojevich (lol), Newt Gingrich, Cindy Sheehan, and an a wide array of other potentialities…Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin…et al.

It should make for an interesting pre ‘year - end - list - barrage’ of “best - of - nothings” that are the stock - in - trade of every publication. (other than this spec we promise we won’t do one)

We’ll come back to THIS topid on Dec 22 and have a gander.
