Dwindling
While we at CREDO don't report on every twist and turn in the Presidential race, it's hard not to note a morning that involves the departures of both John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani we all saw coming (so much...

War for the Whitehouse
The Onion -- one of America's most consistent publications -- just launched a new site focused on the Presidential race: "War for the Whitehouse." Its initial round of features includes one on candidates courting the "fat vote" in an increasingly...

Primary Follies
Regardless of who you like or dislike, what party you are registered with or none at all, you have to admit that this primary season is entertaining. In part, the new technologies make it so. Four years ago, people were...

John McCain is superstitious. He stayed in the same room in the same hotel in New Hampshire as when he won here in 2000. Wore the same clothes. Held his victory party in the same place. I imagine he...

Interesting (if not Entirely Relevant)
This morning, techPresident offers a new metric for weighing the candidates: the Cafe Press primary...and Obama and Huckabee are winning. For those who don't know, Cafe Press is an online store that allows anyone to design and market their own...

Caucus Fever!
Alright. I'm a junkie. One of the few days I enjoy more than New Year's Eve (one of my favorite holidays, which is why I have no voice now, two days into the New Year) is Election Day...any election day...and...

ONE More Way to Compare the Candidates
The age of technology...occasionally people do cool things with it. The ONE Campaign which focuses public attention on extreme poverty issues has created a new site that conveniently and smoothly pulls together all the candidates' views (from both parties) on...

How Not To Combat Apathy
Disengagement in the political process is a problem. Somehow I don't think the solution is a tacky American Idol-inspired show that has celebrities -- including a pundit who has taken government pay-offs -- vetting contestants and promoting one as a...

Dose of Durst
At the Republican debate in Dearborn, Michigan, candidates expressed amazement that Americans think a recession is near. You know what these guys need? An advisor who actually works for a living. Get another dose of Durst to help you...

Actor/Senator Fred Thompson jumped into the Republican race, filling that coveted Thompson slot recently vacated by Tommy Thompson. Just some late night goofing from our friend and yours, Will Durst....

Being Honest About Ending the War
We all know that trying to convince President Bush to change course in Iraq is absurd. Well, we don't need to convince the President -- there is a much softer target: enough members of either House to stop passing mindless...

The Race Within The Race
Within the Presidential race, there's the time race...that is, who gets to talk most in the crowded, televised debates. The good folks of Chris Dodd's campaign have clocked each forum to show us just how tiered the conversations tend to...

The Debate Clock
Last night's debate offered a new format: questions submitted via YouTube from around the country -- from questioners as far-ranging, as The Huffington Post headline puts it, as "Lesbians, Military Parents and Snowmen." And people seemed to like the format,...

What's Your Plan?
A new report by the National Parks Conservation Association recently predicted a scary fate for our Nation's national parks. [The report] highlights the possibility of more wildfires in Yosemite, flooding in the Everglades, and disrupted ecosystems in the Smoky Mountains...

Say what you will about Democrats, they do understand diversity. Currently running for President are a woman, an African-American, a Hispanic and a leprechaun. Nobody ever said that Durst was nice. Read more of his comedic columns, and stay...

Dose of Durst
The Republicans' idea of diversity means giving the people a choice between a rich old white guy, a richer old white guy and a richer, older, whiter guy. Let Durst end your work week with some more lovely, liberal...

Wolf Wins!
I love these debate clocks. As we saw from Sunday night, Clinton and Obama got more time than their competitors. Was that because they had the confidence to speak up the most? Was CNN playing to the front-runners? Well, as...

Whose Space?
This is cool. techPresident has the breakdown of which Presidential candidates are leading the MySpace race. Obama and McCain would be the contenders if your online friends represented the electorate. It's also nifty that they give you the code to...

Fred Thompson is gearing up for a Presidential run, which probably means three more movies where he plays the role of the President. Wish Bush had had that kind of prep. If Fred Thompson runs, it should be fair...

The Netroots, Barack Obama and MySpace
Burning up the blogosphere today is a story of the growing pains between traditional campaigns and the netroots. The Obama campaign took an unofficial fansite away from a Obama fan, Joe Anthony, after it had gotten to 160,000 friends....
