I’ll Go Away, No… Wait A Minute

By Denis Campbell • May 28th, 2008 • Category: Features

I felt today a cross between Bobby, the unmarried suffering star of the 70’s hit musical Company and country singer Lorrie Morgan, who sang the 1998 country music hit ‘Go Away.’ The “I’m conceding, no I’m not” antics of the Clinton campaign today have been tragic to follow. Bobby struggled though George Furth’s 11 scatological, 1-act plays set […]



“Senator Clinton, You’re No Margaret Thatcher”

By Denis Campbell • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen eviscerated GOP VP rival Dan Quayle with this debate remark stating “he was no Jack Kennedy.” Four years ago I cast a vote AGAINST George H. W. Bush’s son rather than FOR John Kerry. I intend to vote FOR a candidate this year.
You are making it very difficult.



The Winner? John McCain!

2. 4 million Pennsylvania voters spoke last night besting 2004’s anemic 800,000 votes cast (and that contest was already decided). No matter how you slice the numbers three times as many voters turned out, more than 150,000 of them newly registered. Both candidates won their core constituencies and



An Exhausting 7-Week Marathon

By Denis Campbell • Apr 22nd, 2008 • Category: Politics

Fitting that the day after the Boston Marathon, 20 grueling miles to the top of Heartbreak Hill and then 6 long downhill miles, the Democratic candidates are near the line for the latest head-to-head battle in Pennsylvania.

That’s the number of Super Delegates since February 5th that have declared for Sen. Obama vs. Sen. Clinton in the Democratic primary races. Margaret Campbell (no relation), a state legislator from Montana added yesterday to this growing group and trend.



Can I Have Some Ketchup with that Candidate Please?

By Denis Campbell • Mar 17th, 2008 • Category: Features

I feel like I’m watching one of those retro cartoons where the two characters are being slowly nibbled away from the ground up until the only thing left will be two talking heads and one of them disappears.
Yes, it is the most exciting and dramatic campaign in the history of modern US politics. Every Tuesday […]



Time for “Silly Season” in Earnest

By Denis Campbell • Mar 16th, 2008 • Category: Lead Story

It’s already beginning…
“I have heard that Obama has said publicly, that he does not salute the American flag and will not. The other rumor is that he was said to have admitted that if elected, he will not use the bible, but the Koran for his inauguration.”
“Did you hear that Hillary Clinton was implicated in […]



10-0

By Denis Campbell • Mar 16th, 2008 • Category: Politics

As a gutted New England Patriots fan superstitious about win streaks, this one by Senator Barack Obama over Senator Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party primaries to determine the nominee for the November general election is impressive by any standard.Pressure builds daily on the 800+ party elder/insider superdelegates (28 January column in this blog) to […]
