State of the Race. Thursday July 9, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. We're getting closer to all the horses having made their way to the track for the 2016 Presidential derby. Two on the GOP side - Governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio are not quite announced. One Democrat side, strangers here in Our Nation's Capital have been stopping one another on the street to ask: "What's wrong with Stephen Strasburg? And "Is Joe Biden really. Going to get into the race? Clinton made...

Thursday July 16, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. I could have written a column about the reaction to a deal with Iran five months ago and I wouldn't have missed by much:. Republicans are furious. Democrats are wary. The Obama Administration is taking, not a victory lap, but running a victory marathon. Here's what I don't know about the Iran deal: Everything. Let's take a look at some of the concepts. First, will Iran cheat? I'm a little leery of Googling "What does it take to refine uranium?

It's All Greek to Me. Monday July 6, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. Let me say, at the outset, that I am so far out of my depth in this issue, that if I look up all I see is a sea of numbers. If I were you I would roll my eyes, sigh loudly, hit the DELETE key, and return to a close examination of this morning's postings by your Facebook friends. If you're still with me, hang on. Here's the English translation of the ballot issue:. According to the New York Times, the EU countries (read: Germ...

Happy Birthday, America. Thursday July 2, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. This is a once-in-a-while reprise of a column first written in 2009. If you've ever watched PBS on July 4th, you know that for many years your local affiliate has broadcast the "Capitol Fourth" program which is the concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol followed by the fireworks which are beyond the Washington Monument on the far end of the Smithsonian Mall. In those days I was the executive director of GOPAC....

First Debate - Postgame. Friday August 7, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. Over The question I had going into the debate was: Can it possibly live up to its hype? Through the first 15 minutes, it certainly did. The moderators did a good job of coming up with questions that were not "gotcha" questions, but helped make the candidates think on their feet rather than remember applause lines. Here's how I think each of them did with a couple of words about why I think that:. Grownup on the stage.

What if
. Monday August 3, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. What if
. What if Vice President Joe Biden does get into the race for the Democratic nomination? What makes us think it will stay a 2½ person race? If Biden gets in (and ABC News reported yesterday that he is "90 percent" likely to run) then it will open the door to other Democrats to get in as well. There are 44 Democrats in the U.S. Senate and 18 sitting Democratic Governors. But, she will also have to go after Biden - she won't b...

Lede Changes in the. Monday July 27, 2015. Click here for an Easy Print Version. Among reporters of a certain age, the opening paragraph of a news story is known as the "lede" (pronounced leed). Why it not simply spelled "leed" is unknown to me, but I do know it is not spelled "lead" (leed) because back in the day, when typesetting machines (called "linotypes") used lead (led) it was useful to avoid the obvious confusion. The Daily Kos goes on to write, "Here's the lede as it was rewritten. The Daily Kos...

Monday August 28, 2016. Click here for an Easy Print Version. From Phoenix, Arizona. Of the two Republican primary elections for U.S. Senator tomorrow night, one is here in Arizona. U.S. Sen. John McCain is running against St. Sen. Kelli Ward. Although public polls show McCain will win in a walk, this is a weird year and turnout for a primary election in late August in Arizona (the high temperature yesterday was 104) is iffy at best. As you know, my predictive skills are about as good as my math skills s...
