What does Hillary Clinton’s victory in Florida mean? Well, objectively spoken not much. She won’t get any delegates, and nobody campaigned in Florida. Will it influence Super Tuesday? To a degree perhaps. It would’ve made a bigger difference if she wouldn’t have pulverized the opposition. She should’ve won and did win. (more…)
Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough talked about Florida’s primary yesterday and concluded: “What does he say? The jobs are never coming back, the illegals are never going home, but we’re gonna have a lot more wars.” (more…)

The individuals were Turks, probably killed by Armenian militias and Cossacks. “The bones in the graveyard found in Mutki belong to children, women and the elderly, as well as soldiers.” (more…)
A note on Obama: It seems to me that there isn’t enough evidence that Obama will compromise with conservatives or govern in a more moderate way, unlike what some believe. Moreover, most of the evidence points in the opposite direction (because his relatively short voting record shows a liberal slant). (more…)
Does Hillary Clinton embody the politics of the past (whatever that may mean)? Pamela Leavey says no. What say you?
