The Political Inquirer

Barack Obama advances much closer to the Democratic nomination for President as he roundly defeats Hillary Clinton in North Carolina and wins a morale victory in Indiana. But Obama didn’t just defeat Hillary Clinton, but he also defeated Rush Limbaugh and his merry band of followers such as Ann Coulter and the cast of Fox [...]

A change in the Illinois constitution to allow the recall of the Governor of Illinois is closer to passage. The Illinois Senate, which some of the leadership is closely allied to the Governor, changed the original bill to include other elected officials.
SPRINGFIELD - The question of whether to amend the state Constitution so Illinoisans can [...]

This will more than likely be my last posting about Reverend Jeremiah Wright, not because there is nothing more to say but because the interest will not be there. I continue to write about it today because the readers of this blog are still interested in reading about him and commenting on him. But soon, [...]

Just a quick commentary. I am still and always will be a fan of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What he did at the National Press Club, questioning Barack Obama’s integrity, was out of line. He is a United States Marine, served in the Navy, assisted in the hospital care of a President of the United States [...]

I don’t make it a practice to quote conservative commentators, much less even read them, but I must say Tom Roeser caught my attention when explaining Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s actions of late.
Two Reasons.
Knowledgeable African Americans, some of whom attend Trinity United Church of Christ, tell me that there are two reasons why the [...]

Reverend Jeremiah Wright will one day owe Sean Hannity a great deal of gratitude for making him famous. Unfortunately for Hannity, his attempt at a high tech media-lynching was to make Reverend Wright “infamous” and not “famous” and “respected.”
This attempt at a high tech media-lynching failed.
Reverend Wright is now showing the world what a great [...]

Hillary Clinton is taking a chapter from Karl Rove’s book. The book could be titled “Political Success: No Matter What the Price.” His tactic is to relentlessly attack your opponent’s strength, forcing them to defend their strength, causing the electorate to think that maybe this isn’t a strength. Planting doubt in the minds of the [...]

There were high hopes when Rod Blagojevich, a liberal Congressman from Illinois, was elected the governor of Illinois in 2002. Surely, Blagojevich the liberal, would support such liberal causes as increased funding of public education in Illinois, improved health care, state funding for pet projects to improve communities. It seemed to mean that Democrats in [...]

It is time for Barack Obama to focus on unmasking the “Straight Talking” John McCain and stop running against Hillary Clinton. It is over for her candidacy. If she wishes to continue to delude herself into thinking that pledged delegates will switch to her, then that is her problem. Beating up on other Democrats is [...]

Hillary Clinton is defeated in one more category outside of the vote count in Pennsylvania: money.
“She ain’t got any.”
In fact, she is in debt up to her eyeballs. And that will be part of the calculus when the Clinton campaign decides whether to proceed with the campaign. And according to today’s Wall Street Journal, lack [...]
