Thanks to Ruben Rocha for finding this editorial cartoon. It makes me smile. For the past couple of months since this historic election, I have been emotional. I still get misty watching the “Yes We Can” video. Even though I will never forget the evening of November 4th, 2008, I am continue to be drawn [...]

“The Instigator’s” Staycation
December 21, 2008
My day job is closed for the holidays, but the current economy demands that I spend my vacation at home instead of traveling to an exotic locale. It’s a glorious staycation for me, except for a few days of my vacation where I will have to settle for Salinas as an exotic locale to visit [...]

The O and The Joe Edition
August 23, 2008
At 2:27 am this morning I received an email announcing Joe Biden as Obama’s VEEP. I am so glad I didn’t pick the text option. Anyway, I had already heard on NPR at 1:00 am this morning (we have NPR playing in the bedroom overnight which makes for some crazy news related dreams) that [...]

President Barack Obama
June 5, 2008
I am absolutely thrilled. Barack Obama will be our next president. It seems that there is already a letter going out that Clinton will suspend her campaign on Saturday and throw her support toward Obama.
It will take a lot of registration drives and hard work to get the turn out, but I feel good about [...]

Post Headcold Edition: Night Time Children’s Cold and Cough Syrup Rocks
May 21, 2008
I slept like a baby through last night’s episode of The Endless Primary Show. I couldn’t take any more sadness about Ted Kennedy or China. I have been suffering through this head cold from hell since I got back home from going to Carole Migden’s house party. It started with a sore throat, and [...]

Maven Does the Primary Happy Dance
May 6, 2008
The best way not to sit around nervously all day browsing politics blogs all day in anticipation of election returns is to go to the Zoo. While it seems that half the San Francisco Zoo appears to be closed, under construction, or just poorly maintained — I got some exercise with my family and I [...]

A Meditation on When National and Local Politics Collide
April 30, 2008
When national and local politics collide or when Clinton supporters and Obama supporters collide it feels like a B-Sci-fi-flick.
I was invited by Mark Leno’s people to join them for a fund raiser, and I went as an observer as I had not endorsed any candidate (still haven’t).
Prior this event, I read Dick Spotwood’s article about [...]

Obama: Attacking the Muslim Myth
March 8, 2008
Blogspot is down so I cannot put this up on my Mothermaven Haven site. I think it is important that we settle once and for all that Barack Obama is a Christian and a loyal American. Isn’t it awful that we have to go out of our way to do this in this country?

Election-Eve Edition
March 3, 2008
In what seems like an endless array of debates, primary caucuses and elections, and twists of political punditry and spin, we are faced with yet another primary election in three states plus a Texas Two-Step. A Texas Two-Step refers to the process of a traditional election followed directly by a caucus after the polls close [...]

According to Breithaupt, Leno, Alioto Veronese, and Nation all reminded her that her constituents made it clear they prefer Obama. Leno and Alioto [...]

Well Played, Northbayist!
February 28, 2008
I am really enjoying the discussion I am having with Northbayist about this Superdelegate controversy with Woolsey and in a larger sense. Can I say that for someone who really loves politics, I am having fun with this whole primary. Most of my life primaries felt like we were just going through the motions (I [...]

Northbayist on Woolsey!
February 25, 2008
First of all I would love to welcome Northbayist, a new blogger on the North Bay. It is always nice to have more in the neighborhood. Keeps things interesting. It turns out that Northbayist has an answer to my question as to whether Woolsey will vote with her constituents or with Clinton. This is what [...]
