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.

An 'Uncommitted' Coalition Forming In Michigan?

(Michigan Information & Research Service Inc.) - Michigan supporters of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) may be seeing their biggest nightmare taking shape — a coalition of Barack OBAMA and John EDWARDS backers supporting an "uncommitted" vote here next Tuesday.

Any organized effort to nail down uncommitted votes means fewer votes for Clinton, who is the only major Democratic candidate whose name will appear on the primary ballot. The party's anti-Clinton factions, in their wildest dreams, hope Clinton finishes second to "none of the above." Such a development would not only send shockwaves through her campaign, but it would shake up the overall Democratic race for the White House.
