Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: International Issues

A lot of people have been criticizing Bush for his rather stern stand regarding Chavez.  They cite how important Venezuela’s oil is, and totally dismiss the issues regarding Bush’s problems with Chavez.  Most of it’s just the usual over-the-top rhetoric, but relations have been to say the least, strained.  So, imagine my surprise reading this [...]

Patrick Ruffini’s First Poll

Posted by Moonage on 26 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Well, the polls for 2008 are already coming in.  According to Patrick Ruffini’s poll, Giuliani has big leads in some states, small leads in most states that he’s winning.  However, that’s not really how the process works.  The nominating process works exactly the same as the Presidential election does.  Namely, electoral votes.  It doesn’t matter [...]
