Haven’t we seen this GOP move on Barack Obama before?
In 2004, when Obama was running for the Illinois Senate seat, the GOP sent in their “race” candidate Alan Keyes, to shake up “identity” voters whom they assumed would find Obama too “foreign” or his name too difficult to pronounce. We now see how [...]

Home again — after an all-nighter to guarantee I arrive at the Denver International Airport at 3:30 a.m. for a 6:15 a.m. flight. Last night completed a week I will never forget. This ticket to the INVESCO field for Barack Obama’s acceptance speech was my final goal for the non-stop DNC convention. [...]

YES! Credentialed!

Yesterday, I had to be queen of the hustle. I was determined this was going to be a make-or-break day. The goal was to get that “credential” to get into the Pepsi Center and see the hall of delegates, state signs, the funny hats. And YES! I got in.

“There’s no news here.” That’s what I heard from a local television producer while I was hydrating myself at the Starbucks counter in downtown Denver. For me, that’s true. I haven’t watched any TV, radio or even read much news online or on the page since arriving in Denver for the DNC [...]

With all the politico babble about the upcoming DNC convention, VP suspense, what the Clintons will (or will not) do for the Obama campaign, I’ve created my fantasy scenario. What say we get all those delegates, politicos, and the like up on the convention floor for some line dancing. Can you imagine? [...]

I’ve been turning this over-and-over in my head. What do I come out of the gate with on my first blog entry for Eclectique|916? Well first Welcome!
How did this happen? Last year around this time, I reviewed the September fashion magazines with an email essay to my friends and fam list. It wasn’t my [...]
