Barack Obama now leads in states won, voter percentage, and the delegate count. And in case we could measure momentum, he definitely is leading in that category too.

According to news reports Mitt Romney will be “suspending” his campaign. I’ll have more later, but it seems Romney will be addressing his constituents in the guise of preserving his party and for the sake of the nation. Romney hasn’t made the speech yet, but it looks as though the information is credible […]

Former Philippine President Joseph Estrada, or Erap as he is fondly called by his supporters and allies was rightfully convicted last September. But only a little over a month after that conviction, Erap was pardoned by Arroyo. Had Erap finally been made accountable, we would have seen a Supreme Court decision concur with […]

Is this a redemptive moment for Jose De Venecia, a Speaker who had high aspirations for President as well as Prime Minister, who in the last moments of his speakership, turned his back on his own president?
I have no doubt that by doing battle with Gloria and her allies, Jose De Venecia will finally bring […]

Dear Tita Cory, Senators, Congressmen, Businessmen, Media people, Leftists, and all Bleeding Hearts Out There:

This just in, as expected Koko Pimentel files a poll protest before the Senate Electoral Tribunal. This is related to the Maguindanao Elections that were so brazen in its cheating, that the entire nation could see it unfold right before its very own eyes, and yet those who cheated pushed ahead, despite the obvious […]

Who will get The Blue Ribbon Committee? As we wrote a few days ago, the answer to this question is very important, and has probably caused a few sleepless nights for Senate President Manny Villar. But who would have thought that one voice of reason would come from Senator Kiko Pangilinan himself.
