Liz Cheney has joined the campaign of Mitt Romney. Liz’s daddy is Dick Cheney – which, if he really is Darth Vader, would make her Princess Leia. But the best part is this: Liz Cheney previously supported former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, who dropped out of the race last week. Maybe she can do for [...]
With 99% of the votes counted, Barack Obama has taken 55% of the vote, Hillary Clinton has taken 27%, and John Edwards takes 18%. That gives Obama 25 delegates, HRC picks up 11 and Edwards takes 5.

For example, women really turned out to vote (or at least be polled). 61% of voters today were female. 60% of the voters today were women who didn’t vote [...]
Yeah – no highschool footbal, just looking at what got swept out with the garbage. Hillary Clinton now wants delegates from Florida and Michigan to be seated and to have their votes counted at the Convention. Can you believe George Bush is worried about his legacy?

Hi ho, laptop! Here’s what’s kickin’ up dust! Senator Jay Rockefeller lives up to the family name of screwing the little guy for profit. Be a good neighbor and, uh, you will benefit – it’s more than a fortune cookie. (Psst – this means we might want to help Mexico. What made people drop Rudy [...]

Hi ho! Here we go! It’s Hillary Clinton time! At Open Left, we see Hillary attack Barack Obama for supporting the exact type of healthcare system she does. What gives?
