Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Controversial Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney looks to be in serious trouble in her Democratic run-off against challenger Hank Johnson. A New Insider Advantage poll shows Johnson leading McKinney by 25 points — 46-21 among likely DeKalb county voters.

Pollster Matt Towery says Johnson and McKinney, both of whom are black, split the African-American vote, but an overwhelming number of white voters prefer Johnson. What's more, with Republicans eligible to vote in the run-off next month, Towery says many plan to go to the polls to defeat McKinney.
