It only took 10 hours from my last post to find something potentially much more explosive than yesterday’s problems: Hillary Clinton is now calling for a boycott of the Beijing Games’ opening ceremony. It is fairly easy political fodder since it essentially means she is targeting the most hated man in Democratic circles (Dubya).
Her own [...]

American Su Fei has a video up where she goes around asking Beijingers what they think about the American election, primarily the Obama-Hillary aspect. I should mention that I was planning to do this bit based on message boards a few weeks back–except the discussions about Obama had almost no participants and made little sense. [...]

Before I get to the endorsement, January 31 is the last day Americans living abroad can sign up for the global primary election. If you would like to do so you can register electronically here. As you go through the form you will become entirely convinced that it is an application to get an absentee [...]

I’ll keep this short and sweet: we already knew that Hillary was running on Bill’s record (”35 years of experience”). Now he’s running the whole campaign.
Next time she says, “He not on this stage, I am” I’m going to freak out. If she wants to run as herself than maybe she should get him to [...]

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has not-so-privately been floating the idea of running for president as an independent. With the two races still fairly muddled, I thought it might be interesting to look at the circumstances that might facilitate him jumping in.
The first condition would seem to require at least one candidate with fairly high [...]

Isn’t it a little strange that people are essentially writing Rudy off because he has not won in the first three states, even though they always knew that he wouldn’t win early? In fact, it seems like his strategy is more or less playing out as planned, other than the fact that Ron Paul keeps [...]

Hillary says she does not want to be compared to Bush and company, but her rhetoric soundly strangely like Dick Cheney a few days ago. On the very same day that she spontaneously nearly came to tears (a strategist couldn’t have written it any better) and she also implied that electing Obama was inviting Al [...]

A little more than a year ago I was working on a get out the vote effort in the Philadelphia. As we were going around the neighborhood I mentioned to a van full of young people that Hillary Clinton was the 2008 version of Howard Dean. The outrage around me was palpable. One person informed [...]

Looking at the range of candidates, it is interesting to guess who would be most beneficial for China. Off the top we can knock Kucinich off their list of top choices. He is highly protectionist, and would do everything possible to limit trade with China while giving Beijing headaches about their human rights abuses. Of [...]
