Please Stick a Fork in Lieberman: Isn't He Done Yet?

President Truman's old adage that there are no friends in politics has been put on vivid display this election season. Even in CampClinton, long time allegiances don't seem to hold water anymore. And, just as we did four years ago, we had the Democratic presidential nominee (John Kerry, for those of you who've blocked it out) diss his former running mate (my guy, John Edwards) and endorse someone else -- the junior senator from Illinois. Which, of course, brings to mind my personal fav, Sen. Jo… Continue

Schlafly and Washington University: Academic Freedom or Insult to Women?

Most of you have probably heard by now that Washington University of St. Louis has decided to honor Phyllis Schlafly, a native St. Louisan and two-time Wash U. graduate, with an honorary doctorate of humane letters. This unanimous decision by the university's Board of Trustees has caused a furor, and rightly so. Over the years, Schlafly has done it all. She's well known for her successful efforts to defeat the ERA because it was "dangerous." Folks can argue the relative merits of the ERA, but r… Continue

The I Remember Mama Voting Meme

Women honor their mothers, with stories of how they were influenced by them politically. Do you have a story of how your mother influenced your political views? Read some stories, and if you feel inspired...add your own. Happy Mother's Day. First, take a look at I Remember Mama Voting, then think about your own mother or mother figure and how she may or may not have influenced your political vi… Continue

How is an Election Ever Truly Won When Liberties are Lost?

I am and have always been a believer that our right to vote as an [eligible to vote] American citizen is something that should never be tampered with on a state or federal level. From day one of the DNC's [and GOP's] decision to strip the voters of Michigan and/or Florida… Continue

It's Not My Party & I'll Cry If I Want To

1. My support for Hillary Clinton has zero to do with her gender, and everything to do with her policies. Her policies are significantly more liberal than her primary opponent's weak centrist positions are, and thus are closer to my own. (She's still to the right of me, but is well to the left of her opponent). 2. My unhappiness with Senator Obama's campaign is of relatively recent vintage. In December, I felt pretty much that any Democratic candidate would do. I no longer think that. 3. My un… Continue

How We Choose Our Political Leaders Befuddles Me

Politics befuddle me. A friend of mine recently went through a rigorous series of 5 interviews just to sell online advertising and then she didn't get the job. Someone from the competing publication with "more" experience got the job. Another friend of mine recently said that he would NEVER hire a person with television editing experience ONLY to edit a feature film because that person just wouldn't have enough knowledge of how films work. In researching for this blog, I visited a number of s… Continue

Can Either Democrat Win in November .. That Is The Question.

As expected, Barack Obama won the North Carolina Democratic Primary Election decisively while Hillary Clinton won an extremely close contest in Indiana. The chief issue was the economy, of course. People think with their pocketbooks. Has this changed anything in the democratic race to the nomination? Not really. This is still boiling down to a decision by the super-delegates. Can either Clinton or Obama win e… Continue

Cinco de Mayo and the Women of Juarez, Mexico

Cinco de Mayo! One of my favorite holidays for food -- especially since I consider chips and salsa and chips and guacamole a food group. Set me on a beach in Mexico with a Corona and some chips and salsa and call it a day. My heaven on earth. Cinco de Mayo, the celebration of Mexico's victory over the French in 1862. OK, so it was a short lived victory, but a victory none the less. Cinco de Mayo...how I would love to be on that beach in Mexico celebrating right now, but I'm not sure I could.… Continue

Sometimes things and/or people we don't deal with effectively come back to bite us in the butt. And For Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright has done just that. And Maybe that's a good thing. Some are saying that Jeremiah Wright should just be ignored, he doesn't have a place in the talk… Continue

The Death Penalty

As a long time supporter of human rights and a member of Amnesty International, I do my best to pay attention, attend, be proactive, educate myself, and for the most part, not shut out issues that may feel too horrible to think about. Trust me, that's not always easy. Last night was one of those "not so easy" nights. For me, as a human rights advocate I tend to focus much of my energies on issues of genocide, human trafficking, torture, and the empowerm… Continue

McCain's Still Stuck in a Primary Campaign

Much has been made of the possible damage that the ongoing intraparty slugfest has or has not done to the Democratic Party in general and the candidates in particular. That debate rages on, endlessly -- apropos given the topic. But, we likely won't know the actual extent of the damage or even the possible benefits of the extended primary until the Dems -- and voters -- can focus on one nominee, and truly take stock of that candidate in a matchup against Sen. John McCain. The flip side of the da… Continue

List of Women Blogging Politics makes The Huffington Post

I was pleasantly surprised today, to find that my political blog "Informed Voters" was receiving incoming links from The Huffington Post. It seems Carol Jenkins wrote a post about women in politics, and my list of over 275 women political bloggers got a nod. As happy as I am about being recognized by The Huffington Post, the overall message of Carol's post is an extremely important one...

"Don't let your voice be silent. Let's change the conversation together."

The Women's Media Center has created Progressive Women's Voices, a new program to change the conversation and ensure that all of our voices are heard. Through this program, the Women's Media Center will train, brief and support 15 progressive women whose stories and expertise are critically missing from the national debate.
