  Nader unloads on Obama, Clinton

  Ralph Nader to the rescue. His third run at the Presidency, he told Politico, is due to the “spinelessness of the potential Democratic nominees, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.).” He cites Obama’s “relatively mediocre” Senate record as well as Clinton being “a panderer and a flatterer.” Nader knows his chances are slim as he admits, “‘Obviously, the system is triple-rigged against any small candidate.’” His run is more a…

  Yesterday, the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) approved a rate increase for its taxicab and limousine division. The decision received mixed reviews as dozens of drivers, owners, and concerned citizens packed a room at 3101 Market Street, the organization’s headquarters. The increase was the last item of business on the agenda as the crowd waited anxiously for a chance to speak on the issue. Proponents believe a rate increase is the most practical solution to drivers struggling…

  High-rises cause crime? Turning to Texas, lack of focus on urban issues, treehugging, fo

  Knocking Down High Rises Stops Crime! Or not.

  “OK, so, you take away two-thirds of the people of Richard Allen (and in fact, probably take away more than 2/3rds of the original residents, given many projects become mixed income), and you lose.... 2/3rds of the crime. Not to be a jerk, but doesn’t that sort of imply that, at the end of the day, as absolutely crappy and terrible as these huge projects were, crime might not have been caused by architecture, but instead by the fact that…

  Obama, McCain sweep Potomac primaries

  Senator McCain chalked up another, and Senator Obama won his eighth consecutive state moving him ahead of Senator Clinton.  CNN reports “Obama’s wins in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia primaries propelled him past Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for delegates.” Obama’s increased success was aided by the female vote and overwhelming “close to 90 percent” black majority.  “According to exit polls out of Virginia and Maryland, Obama…

  Next Up for the Democrats: Civil War

  “The untold story in the run-up to Super Tuesday was Hillary Clinton’s elaborate live prime-time special the night before the vote. Presiding from a studio in New York, the candidate took questions from audiences in 21 other cities. She had plugged the event four days earlier in the last gasp of her debate with Barack Obama and paid a small fortune for it: an hour of time on the Hallmark Channel plus satellite TV hookups for the assemblies of…

  Fred Thompson ambles back to the sidelines

  “Some of his higher-profile backers had jumped ship before Thompson officially abandoned it. Earlier today, ex-New York Sen. Al D’Amato—who like many Republican leaders had not so many months ago viewed Thompson as the candidate who could magically cure what ailed the GOP presidential field—switched allegiance to John McCain. (D’Amato seems mainly motivated this campaign season to sidetrack fellow New Yorker Rudy Giuliani, long a political…

  Over-25 vote gave Clinton crucial edge

  “There are at least three potential explanations for the difference between the under-25 and the over-25 vote: that the nature of Clinton’s pitch to young voters had more appeal to voters in their late 20s; that 25 is about the age at which Clinton nostalgia may still kick in; and that Obama had a stronger organization on campus, while Clinton had a better field operation in the cities where young adults are most likely to live.”

  “Finally, there…
