Is Wednesday D-Day For Superdelegates?

Posted April 21, 2008 | 08:54 PM (EST)


Barring a huge upset, Hillary Clinton will win Pennsylvania tomorrow by about 5-10 points. The media will act surprised, Barack Obama's campaign will say she still can't win the nomination with pledged delegates, and no new points will be scored. Clinton will then lose North Carolina spectacularly, win Indiana narrowly...

When Did Democrats Become Anti-Democracy?

35 Comments | Posted March 6, 2008 | 07:40 PM (EST)


Call me naïve, but until very recently I had been living under the impression that Wyoming, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Guam, Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, South Dakota and Puerto Rico held primaries and caucuses so that they could have a voice in deciding their party nominees for president...

Though we're over four years removed from the spectacle that allowed Arnold Schwarzenegger to bypass the Republican primary and replace a sitting governor, the recall is still very much alive and well in California.

43 Comments | Posted December 11, 2007 | 12:54 PM (EST)


It must be great to be Mike Huckabee. He's the talk of the nation, he's arguably within striking distance of the Republican nomination, and his weight loss makes Jared the Subway guy look downright slothful. Not only that, but when he gets sick, he doesn't have to take all...

33 Comments | Posted October 25, 2007 | 07:32 PM (EST)


Has it already come to this? Mitt Romney told a crowd of New Hampshire supporters that, "One of the ways that you help instill, if you will, family values is by having [the] White House be a place that demonstrates family values... And, you know, I think during the...

The Anti-Gay Gays: Who Needs Marriage When You Have Anonymous Public Sex?

Posted August 29, 2007 | 01:19 PM (EST)


You have to, er, hand it to Larry Craig. He found a way to milk homosexuality for all it's worth--if you happen to be a deeply closeted, anti-gay public figure: political gain and sexual gratification too. If only out gay Americans enjoyed the same kind of two-for-one deal.
