&#8220;It’s the economy, stupid.” That was the battle cry from Bill Clinton’s crack campaign team in the months leading up to the 1992 election.
And the conventional wisdom continues to be that Americans vote their pocketbooks when deciding whom to support in presidential elections.
But it would be a mistake to conclude that only economic factors play [...]]]></description>

I missed Clint Eastwood’s half time commercial, although I caught Madonna’s big half time Show.
The commercial was corny and so was the show, but both were very effective.
You can’t help but like Clint Eastwood.  I met him once when I worked at the MPAA, and the guy just has a lot of class.

“Come on John.  You are coming with me.”
The raspy voice belonged to Corinne Michel, the wife of House Minority Leader Robert Michel, and probably one of the nicest people of I have ever met.
Mrs. Michel, an avid smoker, had a wry sense of humor and very level head.  The mother of four grown (and successful [...]]]></description>

(January 3, 2017)  Hillary Clinton today became the first female President of the United States, as she took the Oath of Office on the West Front of the Capitol.
Clinton promised to build a village for the American people, because as she put it, “it takes a village to raise a child.”
The former First Lady, Senator [...]]]></description>

But his statement is not only incredibly stupid from a political [...]]]></description>

Mitt Romney won a big victory and that win should propel him to the nomination sometime by June, given the vagaries of the proportional delegate system put in place by the Republican National Committee.
But Romney shouldn’t feel that comfortable with his position in the party or with the state of his party at the moment.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In 1956, Kenneth Stampp, a historian from the University of California at Berkely, wrote the seminal book about slavery.  Called The Peculiar Institution, the book destroyed the myth of a benign, paternalistic southern society, popularized by such movies as “Gone with the Wind.”
In truth, slavery sucked.  It dehumanized the slaves, destroyed families, destabilized society, and [...]]]></description>

This originally appeared in The Hill
The Republican Party seems to be in a state of complete chaos.
Right-wing conservatives, like Ann Coulter, bitterly attack Newt Gingrich, while Tea Party heroes like Erick Erickson continually eviscerate Mitt Romney.  Media heavyweight Rush Limbaugh comes to Newt’s defense, while the venerably conservative National Review takes up the Romney cause.
