Iowa Moves Towards Gay Marriage

The Iowa Supreme Court has struck down a state law that bans same-sex marriage. Iowa is now the third state in the nation, along with Massachusetts and Connecticut, to allow same-sex marriage. Full story here.

Definitely a step in the right direction!

Thank You South Dakota


Senator Hillary Clinton has won the South Dakota primary.

She has decided to make no decisions on whether to concede the race.

Obama Wins Montana


Senator Barack Obama is the projected winner in Montana.

He has clinched the Democratic nomination thanks to superdelegates. He is the first African American nominee for president.

Proud of Hillary

I am incredibly proud of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her campaign for President of the United States has been record breaking and she has accomplished things no other woman has ever come close to doing. And it's not over yet.

However, with the final two states voting tonight and with uncommitted superdelegates turning the nomination over to her competitor, it looks like Senator Clinton is about to announce her exit from this historic campaign.

I am completely saddened of the treatment of Senator Clinton by the media. But that was always to be expected. What really saddens me is the way her own party started treating her like a pebble in their shoe. It will come back to haunt them.

The DNC flubbed this one. No, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game as the Clinton camp was trying to do. But you also can't punish millions of voters when it was state party leaders and legislatures who broke the rules in the first one. You certainly cannot award a candidate delegates when his or her name failed to appear on the ballet in a state.

As of right now, I have no plans of voting for president in November. I will not support McCain. I do support Obama. However, as a voter in a pretty solid blue state anyways I don't feel I need to vote for him. In a way, I can't bring myself to vote for him. It's not his fault.

My mind could be swayed should Mrs. Clinton pop up on the ticket as a running mate. Of course, everyone is saying that will never happen and that it would be a big mistake. I disagree. What better way to unite a bitterly divided party? People say "Nobody votes for VP." I disagree. Hillary could be up there as Dick Cheney's running mate and she (they) would get my vote. I will be extremely upset should the Obama camp place another woman on the ballot with them. I do not want to see the governor of Kansas on the ballot. I do not want to see another woman get something that Senator Clinton worked so hard to get simply handed to her. To me, it would be a slap in the face.

I expect the announcement to come soon. And if it doesn't, I will stand with Hillary until she chooses to leave or loses this race. But for now, I applaud Senator Hillary Clinton and the ceiling she has broken.

South Dakota and Montana


Montana and South Dakota are the two final states holding primaries. I urge voters to stand up, vote, and show your support for Senator Hillary Clinton.

Vote for Hillary Clinton.

She may exit this race tomorrow night and give the nomination to Senator Obama. It doesn't matter. I stand by her as her strong supporter and I could not be more proud of everything she has accomplished in this campaign. She has been treated unfairly by many and I hope that one day she gets to have the last laugh. She may not be the Democratic party's choice, but I know she is the best choice.

I applaud Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Wins Puerto Rico


Senator Hillary Clinton is the projected winner of the Democratic primary in Puerto Rico.

Unfortunately, Puerto Rico is not permitted to vote in the general election.

People can count her out all they want. But she's still winning.

Obama Takes Oregon


While the final count is unclear, Senator Barack Obama has won the Oregon primary.

Congrats to him.

Clinton Takes Kentucky


Senator Hillary Clinton wins an overwhelming victory over Senator Barack Obama in Kentucky. With 93% of precincts reporting, it's 66 to 30.

She deserves this!

Change the Game


It may look like she's down and out but you can change the game.

Edwards Says No to VP


The New York Times notes that John Edwards has responded to speculation about being Sen. Barack Obama's running mate. Edwards said, "I have no interest in running as vice president."

Good. We don't want you anyways. Who do we want? HILLARY CLINTON. Of course, that probably won't happen.

Edwards Endorses Obama


Former presidential candidate and senator John Edwards has endorsed Senator Barack Obama. The things men do to women.

Big Win For Hillary


While it may not matter that Senator Hillary Clinton won last night in West Virginia, the final result caused her to win a crushing 41 point victory over presumptive nominee Senator Barack Obama. That's pretty embarassing for Obama regardless of the fact that he didn't campaign there.

Thank You West Virginia

Thank you West Virginia!


Senator Hillary Clinton is the projected winner in West Virginia!

Hillary For West Virginia

West Virginia
Show your support and vote for a true candidate today!

Pollspot: North Carolina

The latest Public Policy Polling survey in North Carolina shows Sen. Barack Obama barely edging Sen. Hillary Clinton, 44% to 43%. Clinton actually leads among Democrats in the poll, 44% to 43%. But Obama has the overall lead based on a very strong performance with unaffiliated voters, with whom he has a 53% to 35% advantage.

While they appear tied, I believe Obama still has the advantage there. Nonetheless, GO HILL!

Clinton Nets Two


After a month long drought where Senator Barack Obama picked up a large number of superdelegates, Hillary Clinton finally picked up two today. She picked up a superdelegate in West Virginia and one in Pennsylvania with Representative John Murtha. The current superdelegate totals are Clinton at 249 and Obama at 212.
