The Legendary Grateful Dead is gracing the stage of the Warfield Theatre, February 4th at 7:30pm in support of Barack Obama! Tickets are already gone but you can watch it on line at www.iclips.net.

Unlike any other presidential candidate, Barack Obama appeals to all people evidenced by the diversity in his supporters.

According to the L.A. Times, “His candidacy offers Democrats the best hope of leading America into the future, and gives Californians the opportunity to cast their most exciting and consequential ballot in a generation.”

John Edwards Speaks!

Tue, 22nd January, 2008 - Posted by Marenda - (2) Comment


Just when it seemed that John Edwards wouldn’t be able to get a word in…he found his voice! Tired of the back and forth banter between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, John Edwards stepped up and said what needed to be said “It’s Not About Us Personally. It’s About What We Are Trying To Do For This Country.” This race gets more interesting by the day…

Hillary Snags New Hampshire

Tue, 8th January, 2008 - Posted by Marenda - (8) Comment


HRCHillary Clinton the winner. This is another defining moment in the 2008 Presidential Election process. Hillary Clinton leads New Hampshire primaries by 39%, Barack Obama trails with 36%, and John Edwards lags way behind with 17%.

At this point it really does look like a two man…two person race.

A few months ago Esquire Magazine featured John Edwards on the cover with a headline reading: Can A White Man Still Be Elected President?

Who Will Win New Hampshire? 9-point lead for Obama on eve of N.H. primary!

The big question and buzz: Who will win New Hampshire?

I predict that Obama will come out on top. Many have criticized Barack Obama for not having enough experience, but it seems to me that if we elect another experienced career politician, instead of change, we’ll get more of the same.

My question is: Are we all on the same page as to where the candidates stand on the issues? Have we all really considered what ‘issues’ are important to us? Have we all done our homework on the candidates?

Questions to ask yourself?

What do I stand for? Which candidate(s) stands for what I stand for?

Note: “If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything!”

Can a white man still be elected president?

EsquireAugust2008CoverThe August 2007 cover of Esquire Magazine poses the question:
Can a white man still be elected president and features John Edwards on the cover.

I’m trying to understand the point of the question objectively but its pretty difficult to do so.

All 43 American presidents have been white men.

Have the blunders of our current president resulted in American voters being unwilling to support white male presidential candidates?

I doubt it.

Do Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pose a threat to white male presidential candidates? Probably.

COCan a white woman be elected president?
