Ever since the day that I heard the speech that Illinois Senator Barack Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2004–a year where I as a college student was investing interest in politics for the first time only to be disappointed by the fact that the best the Democratic Party had to offer [...]

Two exciting events will happen this coming November. First, the end of the George W. Bush era, our national nightmare. On a more positive note, we will surely elect a candidate that is not George W.

Mike Huckabee is not going to stop John McCain from getting the Republican nomination. It seemed likely at first, but after last night’s losses, Huck is dead.
