By this time next month, the primary election season will be all but over, and we will know who's going to be battling it out in November. I, for one, am partially looking upon this time with dread.

President ... Obama?new
Maybe I've been wrong about what can and can't happen in relation to race in America. Maybe we're finally living in a country where you can honestly, honestly, tell every child that she can truly be anything she wants to be when she grows up.

God in The Cabinetnew
Mitt Romney says that he wouldn't put a Muslim in the cabinet because there just aren't enough of them in the United States to warrant it. I guess that means that right off the bat, Romney's using a quota system to decide who does deserve cabinet posts under a President Mitt.

King Rudynew
Come the first few months of 2008, if you're an old-fashioned American progressive in need of entertainment, you won't be able to beat listening all over the country for heads exploding across the aisle any time Rudy Giuliani wins a Republican primary.

On GOP Vote Suppressionnew
It may be sad that the "white male Christian" establishment is so desperate to hold onto power that they will tilt the American justice system to meet their own ends -- but the good part is that in the end, the US attorneys scandal will likely put a nail in their coffin once and for all.
