Bill Richardson Withdraws Nomination for Commerce Secretary Amidst Corruption Allegations « Republican Ranting

  • Well, apparently I came back from vacation to quite a busy news day - Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM) has withdrawn his nomination to be Obama’s Secretary of Commerce. Richardson, meanwhile, will keep his position of governor while he’s facing a federal grand jury investigation. That investigation involves allegations that he exchanged government contracts for contributions to three of his political committees. Richardson denies that he did anything wrong, but the investigation won’t be finished before he has to go to a Senate confirmation hearing, and that could delay his confirmation. Richardson put out the following statement

Timothy Geithner to be Secretary of Treasury « Republican Ranting

  • I’ve just received a report that Timothy Geithner will be nominated for Secretary of Treasury. Geithner is the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as well as the Vice Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Hillary Clinton to Be Secretary of State; Bill Richardson to be Secretary of Commerce « Republican Ranting

  • This has just broke in. We’ve been suspecting it all day, but today, sources have just confirmed that Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has been offered the position of Secretary of State by President-Elect Obama, and a source close to Senator Clinton has confirmed that she is expected to accept the position.

4 Days to Go: Senate Prediction: Democrats Gain 6 Seats « Republican Ranting

  • Here’s my Senate prediction. I already did my Presidential election prediction. The colors ARE switched from what the normal media colors, so sorry about that, but that’s the way the website I use does it. The maps are courtesy of Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas, and my most current prediction can always be found here. On to the predictions…

Illinois City Bans Trick-or-Treating for Teenagers « Republican Ranting

  • Well, this is about the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a while. Belleville, Illinois passed an ordinance last Monday that restricted trick-or-treating. That sounds normal, right, most cities limit the time that kids can trick-or-treat. But the city isn’t just limiting when; they’re also limiting who can trick-or-treat. And it also limits the wearing of masks, to only Halloween (unless you’re under 12).

Evidence that Some Blacks Are Not Voting for Obama Based on Issues « Republican Ranting

  • So, a friend sent me a link to a clip from the Howard Stern show from last Sunday, and I put it into a video (as well as typed up a transcript which is below the video). It’s one of Stern’s radio people, Sal, who goes into Harlem and interviews 3 black people and attributes McCain’s stances to Obama. They say that they agree with those stances (thinking that they are Obama’s).

“Barack Osama” Listed as Candidate on Ballot in Rensselaer County, New York « Republican Ranting

  • In Rensselaer county New York, some funny typing went on when the absentee ballot was made up. In row 1A for the Presidential election, “Barack Osama” is listed instead of “Barack Obama.”

Live Analysis of the September 26 Presidential Debate on Foreign Policy « Republican Ranting

  • We’re about a minute out, I’ll be live blogging the whole event. Jim Lehrer (PBS) is the moderator. I’ll be watching CNN (it would be FOX, but they weren’t ready on time).
    The Ku Klux Klan is in the audience, we’ve heard, but not in robes and not protesting.

Disgusting Image: “Happy Twin Towers Day” « Republican Ranting

  • That first one was what really got me angry, but the second one didn’t really cheer me up either.
    This is just disgusting. And then somebody on Daily Kos went on to post it, in a sort of joking way agreeing with the British that we “celebrate” 9/11 too much. Why do the British care if we mourn on 9/11 or not!

A September 11th Tribute: 7 Years, Never Forget « Republican Ranting

  • Today marks the 7 year anniversary of the September 11th Attacks. Today is a day that affected many Americans, if not all Americans. I can still, to this day tell you exactly where I was when I first heard about it, down to the very spot of the room. And thinking back now brings tears to my eyes, thinking about how many people we lost that day, so many innocent and helpless people.

Analysis of Rudy Giuliani’s Speech at the RNC « Republican Ranting

  • He’s talking about him supporting John McCain, just like he said he would. “This year, with what’s at stake, 2008 IS the most important election in our lifetime, and we’d better get it right.” A great quote from Giuliani. It’s emphasizing the fact that, sure we say that every year, but this year its actually true. This is a major cornerstone for American and whoever wins will have a huge impact on the future of this nation.

Live Analysis of Former Virginia Governor Mark Warner’s Speech at the DNC « Republican Ranting

  • Mark Warner just entered the stage.
    “No American need be left out or left behind.”
    “The global competition won’t be one with yesterdays ideas,” and something about a President who can’t lead.
    Hang on - got interrupted. Stupid Alan Colmes.

Analysis of Michelle Obama’s Speech at the DNC « Republican Ranting

  • I’ll be live blogging this. I’m watching the video now.
    Looking good so far, but not as inspirational as Ted Kennedy’s. “Who names their kid Barack Obama, so this kid has to be weird” - that’s a great quote (sorry if I screwed it up a bit).

A Political Analysis of the Movie Swing Vote « Republican Ranting

  • Alright, so tonight I saw Swing Vote. I liked it. Although it had a LOT of swearing (which added some humor at times, but was a little over the top at others), I’d give it a 9 out of 10.
    First, we’ll look at how the election could’ve happened (spoiler alert - I eventually get into details, and a few things about the ending). This is not a map they showed in the movie, I made it myself - it’s a believable hypothetical that adds up to the numbers they give in the movie:

49% Think the Media Will Try to Help Obama Win « Republican Ranting

Former White House Press Secretary, Tony Snow, Passed Away « Republican Ranting

  • I just found out about this, and this has really saddened my day. Tony Snow was a great man, inside and outside of his job. I had the privilege of hearing him speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference back in February, and he was just this amazing orator. After all he had been through, he got up there and was happy, funny, and energetic. You could tell he was happy to be alive.

Clinton Advisor: Clinton to End Campaign on Friday. Didn’t We Hear This Before? « Republican Ranting

  • Alright, so, AGAIN, the media (this time the New York Times, instead of the Associated Press) is reporting that a Clinton aide, specifically Howard Wolfson, a chief strategist, told them that she would be suspending her campaign. Wolfson told the Times that she will announce on Friday that she is done and will endorse Obama.

Obama Clinches the Nomination; Clinton Open to Being His Running Mate « Republican Ranting

  • This broke earlier today while I was at work, so my apologies for having it up late.
    Although Obama has not formally come out with the ”magic number,” my tallies, as well as CNN’s and the Associated Press’s do confirm that he should go over that mark tonight, if what Obama is reporting in terms of Superdelegate pledges is true, and if what Superdelegates themselves have said is true.
