Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

I think THIS REPORT from Matt Drudge is perhaps a little premature, but the buzz it engenders will do her no good.

Drudge is often wrong, and his dislike of Hillary Clinton is palpable.  Still, she had better win something during January or she’s going to get buried on Super Duper Tuesday, Feb. 5.

Rockford native and former Congressman John B. Anderson (pictured here debating Ronald Reagan during the 1980 presidential campaign) has ENDORSED Barack Obama for president.

Anderson served 20 years as a Republican in Congress, half of them as a staunch conservative and the rest as an increasingly outspoken advocate of liberal reforms. In 1980, he unsuccessfully sought the GOP presidential nomination and then ran as an independent against Reagan and Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter.

Anderson, who will be 86 years old next month, resides in Florida.
