Nebraska is proof that the caucus system, while it admittedly has some garish holes, is another part of the answer in building a viable "50-state" Democratic strategy.

Prior to Saturday, your best chance to support progressivism as a Nebraska Democrat was to turn out to vote for Sen. Ben...

Even Bill Clinton knows he went a bit too far.

His L.A. church tour this week, coupled with the general feeling that an invisible leash has been put around the former president's neck, come as clear indicators of a big "whoops" revelation the weekend before Super Tuesday.

In the coming...

Mused William Kristol in his remarkably inadequate debut in the New York Times on Monday:

Who, inquiring minds want to know, is going to spare us a first Obama term? After all, for all his ability and charm, Barack Obama is still a liberal Democrat. Some of us would...

Less than 24 hours after Barack Obama's middle-America drubbing of John Edwards and Hillary Clinton, everyone's finally able to talk with some modicum of finality and assuredness about that elusive youth vote we've heard so much about.

The general consensus in the weeks leading up to Iowa was on...

It's no easy task to light a fire on the campaign trail when the wind chill doesn't break zero degrees all day -- which it most definitely didn't on Wednesday in Iowa City.

Bone-chilling, soul-numbing Midwest cold or not, John Brophy and Erik Smith had a message to sell here,...

I wouldn't mind picking up and moving to Iowa for a year.

It's sixty miles down the road, it's got the same humdrum dreariness as Nebraska and the hardest political decisions being made there are between these ethereal rockstar Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Joe Biden and...

I have to wonder: Does Chuck Hagel still cuddle up at night in his bed and dream about running the country in 20 months?

Probably.

No, really. He does. If he'd already faced up to reality, we would have gotten a flat-out "no" from the good senator on Monday.

Going...

I fully acknowledge that it's just not interesting anymore to sit around asking, rhetorically and incredulously, "Did (insert GOP/religious right figurehead here) really (say/claim/molest) (that/it/him)? I just can't believe it!"

So, well, I apologize in advance.

You see, the President came to Nebraska on Sunday and reassured his...

It's Constitution Day!

In 2004, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) used his terrifyingly powerful mind control to change what was then just "Citizenship Day" into what we have now: A day on which every school receiving funds from the government is obligated by federal law to teach a lesson on...

Time to whisk you away to a really special place.

I live in "the Heartland." The word itself is a rouse, a nice-sounding title the people here have given themselves to separate God-fearing states such as Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas from the Marxist sinners in Chicago and Minneapolis who frequently...
