The Indepublicrat Endorses McCain and Obama
Published: February 5, 2008
Today, the Indepublicrat is officially endorsing Barack Obama and John McCain for their respective party nominations. A high-minded and respectful campaign between the two would itself be a victory for our country, with an outcome we could support either way.
Candidates Court the Indepublicratic Vote
Published: February 4, 2008
There were six satellite trucks parked outside the Indepublicrat's place of employment this morning. Campaign workers hoisted signs for John McCain, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney. The Democrats weren't represented but have been calling the Indepublicrat at home.
Mike Gravel, Ready on Day One!
Published: February 1, 2008
What Democratic candidate Mike Gravel must do to beat Clinton and Obama at their own game.

Published: January 29, 2008
As the Florida primary knocks out Rudy Giuliani and sets Mike Huckabee back on his heels, who benefits most?
NH Fallout: Crying All The Way To The Oval Office
Published: January 9, 2008
Lessons from New Hampshire: polls are meaningless, the pundits are full of crap, and sometimes a presidential hopeful just needs a good cry.
Ron Paul Strikes Out on Leno
Published: January 8, 2008
It's impossible to determine whether Ron Paul was fear-mongering, blaming the victim, or proposing a program of appeasement. It's possible that a reasonable alternative meaning was obscured by poorly chosen words, but the Indepublicrat is seriously concerned about this candidate's foreign policy priorities.

Published: January 2, 2008
Within the week we'll have some idea whether Huckabee's religious pandering can be effectively countered by Romney's attack ads, and we'll have a prime suspect if Ron Paul is attacked by ninjas throwing old Beatles albums instead of stars.
The Nolan Chart Survey and Anti-Centrist Bias
Published: January 1, 2008
The Indepublicrat self-identifies as a centrist, and so was pleased when the Nolan Chart's short survey resulted in a star roughly centered in the diagram's amusingly-colored "gray area." However, as a centrist, the Indepublicrat must protest an inherent bias in the survey.
Welcome to 2008
Published: January 1, 2008
The Indepublicrat is glad for the arrival of 2008, because it seemed presumptuous to discuss the upcoming Presidential election when it was still only 2007.
