Steve Hildebrand (in the photo above), deputy campaign manager for the Obama campaign, just announced at the Netroots Nation convention a "three-day massive voter registration drive for Labor Day weekend, after the Democratic National Convention."

"Thousands upon thousands of volunteers will go register...

Two weeks ago, The Field -- reporting on the US presidential election -- moved to a new location:

It's been quite the ride. The former host, on June 11, censored us, then disappeared six months of archives from public view, then re-routed the site to the...

Today marks the opening round in a very "outcome determinative" contest among the US presidential candidates to either frame a clear position on immigration reform...

One of the most lastingly significant developments of the late Democratic primary campaign is how, from March 4 to June 3, a nationally-syndicated right-wing Republican radio talk show host kept the Democratic contest alive. But all bad things must...

Whether we win or lose
And I choose to win."

Karen Tumulty begins her wrap-up of the Democratic nomination contest with this story:

Barack Obama...

1. Denial: "But Senator Clinton hasn't conceded yet! She doesn't admit that she's lost! She keeps moving the goal posts, continues playing the race card, it therefore must not really be over for her. We need her permission to move on!"

2. Anger: "If the rest of you don't lash...

Today marks the 47th and 48th primaries or caucuses for the Democratic presidential nomination. More than 90 percent of the delegates will have been chosen by tonight. By now, we all ought to know the drill.

The day begins with the Clinton campaign "leaking" something to the Drudge Report to...

I turn on the TV, read the political columnists (and a significant number of analytically-challenged bloggers, too) and all I hear is a bunch of white folk prattling on about their favorite narrative: "Obama's losing white voters!"

They've swallowed the Clinton racially-obsessed spin, hook, line and sinker. Some, because they...

As with at Wednesday's Obama event in San Marcos, The Field showed up punctually at tonight's Clinton Event at Hemisfair Plaza in San Antonio, at five o'clock, to place an advance eyeball on the scene.

After all, these two events tonight -- Obama was in nearby Selma -- serve...

The talk of politics this afternoon is an AP story reporting that some Democratic National Convention "superdelegates" that had been supporting Clinton are moving into the "undecided" category or now supporting Obama.

It's a great story, so why does the AP's...

A total of 322 pledged delegates are available in today's Democratic primary in California: 241 from Congressional districts, and 81 at-large pledged delegates that will reflect the total statewide vote percentages.

But 32 of California's 53 districts have an...

So many polls, so little time...

The polls are all over the map, and I mean literally all over the map: from California to New York Island! The only way to read them is to compare them with what was going on two weeks ago -- in which Clinton...

The El Piolín radio show, the most popular Spanish-language radio show in America (strike that - see the update below - it is the most popular radio show in any language nationwide), with millions of listeners in California and nationwide, gave a BIG...

One of the major media narratives since the Nevada caucuses, when entrance polls showed Clinton winning widely among Hispanic-Americans (64 percent to 25 for Obama), has been the presumption that the New York senator had the Latino vote similarly locked up on Tsunami Tuesday in California and other states.

The special election in Massachusetts 5th Congressional District yesterday offers eerie parallels with the 2008 presidential campaign. And although the national GOP is overstating the case, Democrats would be foolish to ignore the warning signs of a close election that should have delivered a much wider margin of victory.

The impressive petition drives and enthusiasm of the Draft Al Gore for president movement considered, I still don't think Al Gore wants to enter a knockdown drag-out campaign for the Democratic nomination. He's built too much credibility - maybe even an upcoming Nobel Prize - with his crusade to save...

Former President Bill Clinton's recent attempt to slow Senator Barack Obama's rise and the words he chose to speak it raise a new question: What if Bill had run for president in 1988?

It's natural that a husband would be protective of his spouse's political ambitions. And when a...
