Pssst, buddy, wanna buy a Presidency? It’s gonna cost ya! A truism in life I learned, is when a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience ends up with the money and the person with the money ends up with an experience.
National campaigns are the ultimate Washington [...]

“Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!” and the dice cubes fly.
John McCain loves craps. It is routine for him to wager and lose $25,000 in a session as to play the “suspend the campaign and return to Washington to save the Bailout” gambit or petulantly select an unknown for Vice President as [...]

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis seems to have truthiness problems. At least he cannot remember when or if he left the lobbying firm he was or is it still is a partner in.
Jill Hazelbaker, the campaign’s communications director, said in an e-mail Tuesday that Davis “left” Davis Manafort in 2006. In a statement [...]

On Today in 1952, Republican vice-presidential candidate Richard Nixon went on television to deliver what came to be known as the “Checkers” speech. Appearing on flickering, black-and-white sets across America, his wife seated next to him like the stage prop she’d play for the rest of Nixon’s life, he denied allegations of [...]

A video on the dynamic steps being taken (tongue in cheek) by the industry to make itself relevant.
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
