With July 4th coming up in a couple of days, many of us are feeling patriotic. But in our current political climate, patriotism can be a highly charged topic. Personally, I think you should be able to love your country without buying into the ideology of a particular person or political party. More "celebrate...

Cindy McCain has once again been busted for recipe infringement. Political Nanny brought you the news back in April that the possible future-First-Lady's Ahi Tuna recipe was lifted from the Food Network Web site. Well, her Oatmeal-Butterscotch cookie recipe for Family Circle comes from here: Hersheys...

Obama supporters and Democratic candidate generalists, you might want to stay close to a defibrillator. Sure, a recent AP poll shows Barack Obama leading John McCain 47 percent to 43 percent. Ahhh, but wait. There's a familiar face back on the playground and he's got juuuuust enough of friends...

By now Hillary Clinton has officially " suspended " her Presidential campaign (never mind the fact that she, you know, had already lost ). While reading this news, I came across two videos that kind of go together. First, from 60 Minutes and Yahoo! Video (not embeddable) is Hillary, in a semi...

Remember when a loss was a loss? So Barack Obama has won enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee for President. Which means that Hillary is going to stop talking like she has a shot at winning the nomination. Hillary, however, has not conceded yet (although she may do so today ), and her first...

Hillary Clinton has all but conceded the nomination to her rival Barack Obama. That should come in, what, a few more hours?

Hillary's like the girl in preschool that the kids in class like well enough, but the teachers just can't stand. Clinton keeps winning with primary voters, yet not exactly cleaning up with the powerful, nomination-granting Superdelegates. So where are we with Hillary? First, she's not leaving...

Political Nanny's apologies for letting her Hillary get a bit wild over the long weekend. Seems Hil was gunning off a bit at the mouth mentioning -- yet again! -- something about how she's sticking around, you know, just in case Barack gets assassinated. (Big of you Hillary, but we're all...

It's just a matter of when, not if, right? Hillary Clinton will eventually drop out of the race for the White House. Sadly, the above sentiment is often followed by a lament: "if not Hillary, who then? We'll never have a woman in the White House!" A Sunday New York Times piece tries...

After the predictable outcome of last night's primary in West Virginia, Political Nanny has sent the candidates on their way to spin results and/or beg for more time. This provided her a quick break to get together with some Hollywood nannies, who themselves are working overtime as their charges...
