We’ve been hearing about Hillary’s bout of tears all week now. The way the papers are going on you’d think she was crying so hard she snotted on someone. So much drama over so little. Jon Stewart, as usual, hits the nail on the head in his response. What did Marianne Pernold Young, the photographer that asked the question, have to say about it though?

Mike Gravel visited a private high school in New Hampshire this past Sunday. In an auditorium packed with teenagers he spoke on the benefits of marijuana over alcohol.
“Alcohol is a heck of a lot worse than marijuana, and I’m sure a lot of you have tripped out on alcohol. It’s a lot safer to do it on marijuana.”
He went on to say that he believes the drug should be available for sale in liquor stores, and that he’s in favor of decriminalizing minor offenses. I have a couple of thoughts.
Two more candidates have dropped out of the 2008 Presidential race. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd have each thrown in the towel. Mike Gravel is stubborn enough to continue, as is Dennis Kucinich. I’ll admit it, I was wrong.
While addressing a group in a New York City YWCA, Hillary Clinton stated that voting for her would cause the price of oil to drop. What, you may be asking, uniquely qualifies her to make such a claim? During her inaugural speech she’ll announce a plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil. When they hear this, oil producing countries will drop their prices to dissuade America’s interest in alternative energy. She refers to former President Jimmy Carter’s efforts to reduce foreign oil dependence. This prompts a number of questions.
A recent poll shows Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton is falling behind several Republican candidates in the polls. This is an about face from poll indications over the summer, which had Hillary out in front of all other candidates by a comfortable margin. According to one pollster, questions about Clinton’s electability have always been present, and are becoming more prevalent as the election approaches. This is a very interesting turn of events.
In the latest bout between Mike Gravel and NBC, Gravel vowed to answer the same questions as the other candidates in live web cast. He also garnered some serious support. After crying corporate censorship Gregory Chase offered NBC $1M in either advertising or cash outright to allow Gravel to appear with in the televised debate. Not only that, he’s also offered $25k to the individual that posts the most popular Gravel video on YouTube. NBC apparently wasn’t interested because there was no response, but Chase did manage to get some major press coverage for both himself and his candidate, including an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered. Such fanatical support will definitely help Gravel, but will it be enough? I’ll stand by my earlier prediction. One thing that did catch my eye though, Chase has also said that he likes Ron Paul, though he hasn’t offered the same amount of public support for Paul.
Former Clinton supporter and one-time donor Peter Paul recently released a video to get the word out about what he believes is proof that Hillary is corrupt. Back in 2000 Paul (not to be confused with GOP candidate Ron Paul) threw a support party for Clinton to support her in her campaign for New York Senator. The proof he offers is a clip of Hillary thanking him for staging a fund raiser.

I just read over at Daily Kos that Al Gore has made a call for people to share their questions and opinions on issues that matter to them in the 2008 presidential race. That’s a pretty thinly veiled move toward announcing candidacy. Very interesting.
Earlier this week American Thinker published an interesting article outlining how Hillary Clinton is reviving the Republican party. She’s the lead Democrat by a healthy margin in any measurable standard you care to look at, and there’s a general assumption that she will be the next president. The author makes the point that nothing ignites the Republicans like a Clinton. He also notes the additional benefit that Hillary’s comfortable lead is encouraging a number of independent voters to check out the Republicans. Its a good article. You should check it out.
Iowa Mayhem
The primaries started with a bang, didn’t they? Huckabee winning the Republican side isn’t too surprising, but beating Romney by eleven points is. Iowa was Romney’s strategy, win big early and build from there. The other candidates have already been spending time in the other primary states, so Romney is now playing catch up. This early upset can’t be good for him.
