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.

Romney Wins Convincing Michigan Victory

DETROIT (AP) - Mitt Romney scored his first major primary victory Tuesday, a desperately needed win in his native Michigan that gave his weakened presidential candidacy new life. It set the stage for a wide-open Republican showdown in South Carolina in just four days.

Three GOP candidates now have won in the first four states to vote in the 2008 primary season, roiling a nomination fight that lacks a clear favorite as the race moves south for the first time.

Oh yeah. Can you say, "convention floor fight?" Actually, if the RNC comes into play, there won't be any fight about it. They will jigger the rules to pick their preferred candidate.

Now there's a hoot. All you pubbies will have to vote for whoever Dubyah wants you to. Watching the Beast in Pants Suits devour America's Mayor will be exquisitely entertaining.

Other than Ron Paul, I don't think Bush 43 cares who wins. He's ready to go back to the ranch in Crawford. I don't believe Hillary will devour Rudy. I'm not saying Rudy will win against Hillary, but I don't believe Hillary will devour him as you say.

Oh, but Bush does care who wins. He has spent his entire second term preparing the way for her.

Since The Beast has already devoured Gilligan once, the only thing you could be possibly basing your statement on is emotion. That's why we are in the state we're in. People who make political decisions based on emotion.

When did Hillary devour Rudy? [I assume that's who you are talking about when you mention "Gilligan".]

I'm hoping your memory isn't that short. You do recall how Hillary got to the Senate, do you not? The lisper folded like a cheap suit. What possible evidence do you have to suggest he won't do it again? The question is simply whether he will do it before election day.
