If you want to get to know how polling institutes compose their surveys, I recommend that you read Jeffrey Stonecash’s book. He made it easy to read without too much of unnecessary and and repeating information other than discussing the time remaining until the election that a candidate can beat their opponent if they lag a certain [...]

Dodd, Senator Dodd’s father, wrote to Grace, his beloved wife. In the beginning the book is not as interesting as expected: Tom [...]

Pat Buchanan supports Barack Obama??? So do I.

Pat Buchanan surprised me with his Townhall column entry where he expressed support for President Obama’s stance on what is happening in Iran. I didn’t expect that, as on a Hardball issue several weeks ago he supported former Vice-President Richard Cheney on his speech against the same person he is now defending.
