McCain’s More Sensible Energy Proposals
June 24, 2008 | 5 Comments
Okay. I was less than impressed with the call for drilling. I’m still unimpressed — and can not figure out why so many people are gung ho for it. (But that’s another post).
McCain has come out new policy proposals that I think are going in the right direction:
* $5,000 tax credit for buying [...]

Skip Campbell to Drop Out
June 24, 2008 | 2 Comments
The Buzz and Q are reporting that Skip Campbell will drop out of his Senate race against Republican President-designate Jeff Atwater.
Nothing official yet.
This could have been an interesting race. But I am guessing this one was about money.
Republicans were very upset when Campbell announced. There is an unspoken tradition in the Florida Legislature [...]

Mr. Obvious: It’s not looking good for McCain
June 23, 2008 | 6 Comments
Okay, so I decided to take a look at Real Clear Politics‘ polls in battleground states and post those results to an electoral map on 270toWin.
The result: President Barack Obama — by a heck of a lot. 330 electoral votes to 270 electoral votes.
The only state that is not accurate is Georgia. Most [...]

Chamber backs Bennett — Not hard to figure out why
June 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Jeremy Wallace wrote that the Florida Chamber backs [Senator Mike] Bennett:
Of the nine state legislators who represent parts of Sarasota and Manatee counties, none had a worse voting record with the Florida Chamber of Commerce than state Sen. Mike Bennett.
But even though they gave him a “D” grade for his voting record, the chamber last [...]

George Carlin Died at age of 71
June 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment
One of my favorite comedians and social commentors has passed away:
George Carlin, the frenzied performer whose routine “Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television” led to a key Supreme Court ruling on obscenity, has died.
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon [...]

Public campaign funds: Another example of GOP hypocrisy
June 22, 2008 | 4 Comments
First, let me say that I fully believe campaigns for political office should never be funded by taxpayers. If a campaign is good enough, it should raise funds on it’s own.
Second, let me say that I also believe there should never be a limit on how much money a candidate should be allowed to [...]

Check out this gem from the Q - Palm Beach Post’s political blog:
Rasmussen Reports hit the telephones yesterday to find out how drilling for oil in state waters would play in the presidential race in Florida.
Told offshore drilling would drop gas prices, 45 percent of Democrats said they supported Republican John McCain’s position. Overall, 61 [...]
