| "Not Who's Coming To Dinner, But Guess Who Got Married?" | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on6/24/2008 | |
| In 2004 when San Francisco defied state law by issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a court later halted the issuances of licenses and declared that same-sex marriages that took place during this period were void. That began the legal wrangling through the courts that made its way to the highest court in California. On May 15th of this year, the California Supreme Court overturn ... |  | | Comments (16) | More... |

| VICTORY to the Giant Killer | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on6/3/2008 | |
| | It’s official: After the final two primaries in Montana and South Dakota today, June 3rd, Obama has become a “Giant Killer!” Who would have thought anyone could have defeated the all powerful Clintons (because Obama had to campaign against both Senator Hillary Clinton, as well as the former President Bill Clinton). Entering the campaign, Hillary Clinton knew she was the presumptive democratic nominee. She had the name --- the money [initially] --- the Democratic machine --- the press, she had it all! But she didn’t have a winning plan!!! | | | Comments (47) | More... |

| OBAMA CAN'T BE DENIED | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on5/23/2008 | |
| After the primaries on May 20th, Sen. Barak Obama achieved a milestone by obtaining a majority of the pledged delegates with only undeclared superdelegates remaining. As of this writing, Obama has 1,658 pledged delegates and 307 superdelegates (or a total 1,965) while Sen. Hillary Clinton has achieved 1,500 pledged delegates and 279 superdelegates (or a total 1,779). While neither have achieved the magic number of 2,026 that is needed to secure the nomination, it is clear that there is no way Clinton can win. That is why it is so puzzling as she continues her campaign “full steam ahead” along with her husband (former President Bill Clinton) in her attempt to convince the remaining uncommitted superdelegates to 1) ignore the pledged delegate count, 2) overtu ... | | | Comments (9) | More... |

| Well The Race Continues Amidst Growing Division | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on4/25/2008 | |
| Sen. Obama was unable to close the door on the Democratic nomination with the win of Sen. Clinton in Pennsylvania. Even though it was expected, there was hope that an Obama upset could end the race. Instead, the Democratic party is growing more and more divided. The question is, "Why is Sen. Clinton still in the race? And what is former President Bill Clinton's problem?" The highest ranking African-American in Congress, House Majority Whip James Clyburn, called the former president's recent conduct "bizarre," and said several of Clinton's actions had deeply upset many African-Americans. If the poll results from the Pennsylvania primary is any indication, then the democratic vote is dividing between the elderly & white women for Clinton and the youn ... | | | Comments (22) | More... |

| Is Obama's Bid De-Railed By His Pastor? | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on3/14/2008 | |
| Well, it wasn’t Sen. Clinton’s campaign tricks… it wasn’t Sen. McCain and the Republican National Committee…. it wasn’t even the inflammatory remarks by Minister Louis Farrakhan…. But it will be Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the spiritual leader of The Trinity United Church of Christ, Senator Barak Obama’s pastor that de-rails his candidacy to the White House. Listening to Sen. Obama tonight a ... | | | Comments (30) | More... |

| Is A "Dream Ticket" Foreseeable -- Obama & Clinton? | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on3/8/2008 | |
| On Tuesday, March 4th, I had the privilege to once again engage my right as a citizen of the United States by voting in the presidential primary. I had hoped my vote would have contributed to a win for Senator Barak Obama and thus insure him as the democratic presidential nominee. However, Sen. Hillary Clinton won both of the big states, Texas and Ohio, prolonging the procedure until a later date. | | | Comments (6) | More... |

| Well The Race Is On!! | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on2/6/2008 | |
| Many predicted that after Super Tuesday (February 5th), when 22 states held primaries & caucuses, Senator Hillary Clinton would emerge the front runner as the democratic nominee for President of the United States. Early on it was determined by the pundits and media that after Super Tuesday Sen. Barak Obama would fade into the sunset with his wins up to that date classified as being a fluke. But we can see from the New York Giants, that the underdog can win!

| Can Obama Become President? | |
| By A. Glenn Brady on1/8/2008 | |
| Well the results are in and the headlines all declare that New York Senator Hillary Clinton is the winner of the Democratic primary in New Hampshire. This is after the surprise victory of Illinois Senator Barak Obama in the Iowa Caucus. There is a wave of excitement as Obama becomes the first African-American touted as a viable candidate that can result with a residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January 2009. When he declared his presidency, many doubted whether he could rally the white vote and be taken serious. But we’ve seen that in both Iowa and | | Comments (32) | More... |
