If Campaign Management Is Any Indication…

… then we have more reasons to believe Obama will beat McCain. Benin Mwangi also adds more of his own reasons.

A Muslim American Argument for Voting Conservative In 2008

You don’t get to hear these lone voices much anymore nowadays, and that’s what makes them unique!

Obama Makes History! (Updated)

We knew this was coming for a while. Win or lose, Obama has achieved the seemingly unachievable, and I can bet you that the people who where in charge of his fund-raising, public relations, branding and marketing efforts are going to be very sought after. Watch his nomination victory speech here and see McCain’s response […]

Thomas L. Friedman: America and Leverage

Thanks to Mustapha, I stumbled upon a pretty good piece by Friedman. I gotta say, I like #5 the most.
As I have argued before: When you have leverage, talk. When you don’t have leverage, get some. Then talk.
Right now Iran & Friends — Hezbollah, Hamas and Syria — have a strategy that has produced leverage […]

McCain Does Right Thing, Ditches Parsley

The other day I came across a disturbing article on the Huffington Post about John Hagee’s loony statements. I swear these American evangelical “leaders” really sound just like some of the crazy nuts we have here. I suggest we throw them both together for a nice little episode of… The Holy Room.
So, God sent Hitler […]

Obama Had Racist Wright, McCain Has Loony Theocrat Parsley

Say hello to Rod Parsley, McCain’s theocrat and good friend. Watch the video. The Pastor’s sermon is just, oh, so full of love and compassion:
Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends, through violence, to conquer the world.
The fact is that America was founded — I am going to stagger you right now — America was […]

Darfur and Sudanese-American Relations

I’ve been following the ongoing negotiations between Khartoum and the US envoy to Sudan closely. Can you blame me? Normalizing ties would be a huge positive and mutually-beneficial step.
I’m glad America has the right conditions in place.
April 14, 2008 (KHARTOUM) — The US special envoy for Sudan is expected to hold a meeting with a […]

Drima and the 08 US Elections

How would a Sudanese Drima “vote” in the 2008 US elections? Stay tuned for the upcoming article. It should be published over at Pajamas Media soon.
My choice is not final since we still have a few more months to go. Anything can happen during this coming period. You never know. But for now, numerous factors […]

Which Is Better For Sudan, a Democrat or Republican President?

Dear Sudanese boys and girls in da house,
dump your thoughts in the comments section. I have my answer and facts but I’d like to hear you out before I publish my choice and concerns in a long upcoming article. I may include some of your comments.
Another way of rephrasing the question could be, which is […]

Is Drima a Democrat or a Republican?

Sometimes I receive emails from Americans who are curious to know whether I support Donkeys or Elephants. The the truth is, I support neither, at least not in the sense that those asking are implying. I don’t say this to play safe and please people or seem “fair”.
Thing is, I’m not a fan of the […]

Thought Experiment for Liberals and Conservatives

Just thought I’d share this interesting and thought provoking post Ethan live-blogged during the TED conference.
Psychologist Jonathan Haidt has been listening closely to the TED conference. He’s figured out that this is a pretty liberal group. And he asks the group to try a thought experiment - two Americans are in Italy looking at the […]

Obama Wins, No Matter What

I’ve seen too many Elephants engaging in smear and personal attacks against Obama. Others keep banging his policies. This article, by an Elephant however is different. It criticizes what Obama stands for but doesn’t miss a very important part of the big picture, one that puts a big smile on my face and cheers me […]

WTF News of the Moment: Republicans for Obama?!

Yes, believe it!
This race is getting so much more interesting with every passing minute. A new website called Republicans for Obama has popped up. And no, it’s not fake. It’s real and was even featured on Time!
On a related note Susan Eisenhower, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s grand daughter has a super interesting article in the Washington […]

Giuliani Ready to Endorse McCain?

What? What? What?. It might actually happen! Cool. So Rudy Giuliani who is Bushier than Bush seems ready to quit the race? Phew!
My ideal candidate would be the best of a McCain-Obama combination but too bad that imaginary candidate doesn’t exist. If Obama wasn’t supportive of withdrawing from Iraq, I think I would have picked […]

Obama’s Victory Speech

Admit it. He makes the best and most uplifting speeches. Crap, I’m almost in tears.
When it comes to the Elephants I’ve been saying for a year now that I support John McCain. As for the Donkeys, it’s either Hillary or Obama. I’m sort of undecided but I gotta say I’m leaning more towards Mr. Hope. […]
