A South Dakota Moderate

A day after losing by 40 point in West Virginia, Barack Obama is still making more positive news than Hilary Clinton who still blindly believes that she will be the nominee.
First the powerful abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America threw their support to Barack Obama.
NARAL president Nancy Keenan said in a statement: “Today, we are [...]

Just received in my inbox, details of Barack Obama’s Sioux Falls event this Friday
Please join Barack Obama for a One-Stop Early Vote Rally in Sioux Falls, where he’ll talk about his vision for bringing America together and creating the kind of change we can believe in.

Last night I commented on how Hillary was proclaiming that her West Virginia victory was just more proof that she appeals to the core base that will propel her and not Obama to the White House. The New York Times takes that premise and runs with it and gives us some interesting facts, some [...]

Got this in the email inbox this evening after Hillary’s landslide in West Virginia
After tonight’s tremendous victory here in West Virginia, it’s clear that the pundits declaring this race over have it all wrong. The voters in West Virginia spoke loud and clear — they want this contest to go on.
I’m listening to the [...]

After Hillary’s somewhat comical staged event to promote her and John McCain’s “gas tax holiday” idea in which she showed us that she can’t pump her own gas (or make her own cappuccino), I remarked that it would be a good topic for an Obama ad. While my idea for an ad in response leaned [...]

As I wrote about before, detractors of Barack Obama like to use the “elitist” buzzword when trying to explain why they are not going to vote for him.

All the attention across much of the media and the blogosphere has been centered around long time Barack Obama Pastor Jeremiah Wright. His outrageous statements including saying that “the government manufactured the AIDS virus to kill blacks” have been plaguing Obama for weeks. Obama finally distanced himself from the reverend whom he still contends [...]

Dave Kranz has a column in this morning’s Argus that tries to explain why South Dakota “matters” and how we could now play a big part in deciding the Democratic Presidential nominee. He goes on to explain that Obama and Clinton finally now seem to know where we are on a map with their recent [...]

From the email inbox:
CHICAGO, IL— Today, South Dakota Senate Democratic Leader Scott Heidepreim and Obama Deputy Campaign manager Steven Hildebrand will host a conference call at 11:00 AM CST to announce that the Obama campaign will be the first presidential campaign to air ads in South Dakota. They will also give a state of [...]

Fresh off of his rant against the Pope and Catholicism that has many seeing red, Bill Maher comments on the outrage generated by the Obama “rural voters are bitter” comments.
Referring to voters who America has left behind economically as “bitter” isn’t an insult. In fact, it’s a compliment, acknowledging that they’re smart enough to [...]

I just browsed through my 1000th or so blog post ripping Barack Obama for being an elitist so I thought it was time to respond.
Wikipedia defines elitist/elitism:
Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite — a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized [...]

The latest American Research Group Poll from Pennsylvania now has Hillary Clinton up by 20 points over Barack Obama 57% to 37% but what I find more interesting than signs of a possible backlash for Obama’s guns and religion comments (the last poll had them almost even) is this:
Key finding: “23% of likely primary voters [...]
