RFK Jr. Shines For Hillary
While Caroline Kennedy’s television ad endorsing Barack Obama got wide coverage in the media, the TV commercial by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the late Bobby Kennedy, endorsing Hillary Clinton was little noted. The TV spot evokes powerful black and white images from Robert Kennedy’s campaign for the Presidency in 1968. Kennedy provides an […]
Letters – We Get Letters
I try to answer all email comments and suggestions that are sent to the STONEzone. The STONEzone is not a blog, but I am always happy to respond to those who write in a timely fashion as possible, subject to the time constraints of my other activities. My strong words for McCain brought many disagreements […]
McCain Presumptive Nominee
Advantages Enormous As predicted on the STONEzone on Monday, John McCain swept the Super Tuesday primaries essentially foreclosing any cogent strategy by Mitt Romney that would allow the former Massachusetts Governor to get nominated. On the Democratic side a split decision this past Tuesday means the Hillary-Obama death struggle will continue through to the late […]
McCain Big State Sweep Seen
Senator John McCain is poised to sweep the big states in Feb 5th’s Super Primary with Mitt Romney, candidate of the Bush political machinery is relegated to small targets of opportunity. The key sign that Romney knows the fat lady is about to sing is the cut back in spending on TV to levels equal […]
Huck’s Campaign For VP Proceeding
Mike Huckabee’s Campaign Manager Ed Rollins was telling reporters that “he wanted to cut John McCain off at the knees in Florida” but that his candidate over-ruled him. Good thing the candidate has more brains than his Campaign Manager. Mike Huckabee’s campaign for Vice President is continuing apace and aggravating front runner John McCain is […]
Slick Willie Is Back And He’s Angry
Bill Clinton had achieved the esteem of most Americans as a former President. His bi-partisan efforts with former President George H. W. Bush on International Catastrophe Relief were admired at home and abroad. Most Americans fondly remembered Clinton’s eight years as having a strong economy. Former Presidents have tended to stay largely out of the […]
USS McCain – Avoid Murphy Boarding Party
Political pros all raised an eyebrow when Republican political consultant Mike Murphy appeared at John McCain’s hotel in the hours before the Arizona Senator’s New Hampshire victory. Murphy worked on McCain’s campaign eight years ago, but got caught flirting with former Governor Mitt Romney last year which McCain was not happy about. Murphy is best […]
Crist Puts Mac Over The Top
Romney campaign advisor and longtime Washington lobbyist, Ron Kaufman, told Intimates that Romney’s lead over McCain in Florida had swelled to 7 points in tracking polls the Friday before the Florida Primary. “No one can take it from us now,” said Kaufman. What a difference a few days can make. The gutsy decision by Governor […]
Romney Nevada Win Is A Fugazy
Mitt Romney’s “Victory” in the Nevada Caucuses is a fugazy, a Magoffin, a con job. Romney won no delegates…. yet. The Delegate selection process is a multi-stepped process that elects delegates to District Conventions who then elect Delegates to a State convention who then elect the National Delegates. Romney will be out of the race […]
The Republican Race Now
It seems that Senator John McCain got a bigger bounce out of his “Come-Back-From-the-Dead” win in New Hampshire than Mitt Romney got out of his win in his native state of Michigan. McCain’s growth in the national polls was impressive as he soared to his highest favorable ratings and snatched the lead from a falling […]
