This is the second of two Presidential candidate’s assessments, this one about Barack Obama. Like we did with Senator McCain, Common Sense Politics will not go into deep detail when it comes to his background and upbringing but will instead focus more on recent history and events in his life. Anybody who wants greater detail […]

This is the first of two Presidential candidate’s assessments and using strictly alphabetical order, today’s review is about John McCain, the Republican Party nominee. Common Sense Politics will post a similar article next about Barack Obama, the Democrat party candidate. We will not delve into their life stories in any detail other than as it […]

For about two weeks, we have had two finalists in the Presidential sweepstakes, two United States Senators, John McCain (R) from Arizona and Barack Obama (D) from Illinois. We predicted this outcome well over three months ago in ‘And the Winner Are…‘ but the Primary season dragged on into June and so it is only […]

One of the hottest issues in the Presidential election primary season on the Democrat’s side has been how to solve the situation of not having the states of Michigan and Florida represented at the Democrat convention in late August of this year. We here at Common Sense Politics think it worthy of analysis and review. […]

About two weeks ago, Common Sense Politics posted an article about the Hate Rants of Barack Obama’s pastor, it is therefore only fair that we take a closer look at what happened in the Clinton campaign. On three different occasions including as recent as March 17, 2008, Democrat Presidential candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton told about […]

For the entire time of our website’s existence, we have stayed clear of issues dealing with race, be it white, black, brown, yellow or any other color. As Common Sense Authors, we believe that race is not a topic we can intelligently address and have stayed away from it for that very reason. However, we […]

The second ‘Super Tuesday’ for the remaining Presidential candidates has come and gone. For us here as Common Sense Authors, we can share with you what you already know and we can still comment on it from our perspective. While there is a clear winner on the Republican side when John McCain attained more than […]

Even though it appears that the primary election phase on the Republican side is all but over, or at best just a process for the remaining State caucuses and primaries with John McCain the clear winner and well on his way to become the Republican’s Presidential nominee, the troubles

Between January 29 and February 5 of 2008, eight days in total, no other word was used as often as the word “Super”! Between the presidential campaign and a certain professional sporting event, nothing this huge has ever been cramped into such a short time period. Yes, it was truly a ‘Super Week’

Based on the developments of the past week or two with primary results, candidate endorsements by newspapers and party leaders and the ending of some campaigns of candidates in both major parties, one can easily

Next week Tuesday, registered voters in 22 States will go to the polls to fill out their ballots by making their choices in the Presidential sweepstakes for the two major parties.

The highly anticipated second Presidential Election milestone in 2008 has come and gone. The players have left New Hampshire and have moved on to other territories within the United States. We know who the winners were at this primary, Hillary Clinton on the Democrat and John McCain on the Republican side. The biggest losers at […]

Finally, the circus show called “Iowa caucus 2008” is a thing of the past, and what a show it was. There has never been such hype about a single small state’s presidential primary vote.
