Back in May of last year, I came across a story that no one was talking about. Over the years, we've all heard accounts overseas about prisoners being held without due process, or the use of severe and often times disturbing punishment for crimes that would barely get you a...

Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia woke up this morning to a new reality. He is, as reported by the Washington Post, on the short list to be Sen. Barack Obama's running mate.

Kaine's monthly radio appearance to discuss local issues pre-scheduled for today on WTOP radio in...

When all is said and done in primary season 2008, what will people remember? Will it be the fist bumps, shots of whiskey and endless number of debates? Will it be the carefully crafted policy positions or gas tax holidays?

We say no.

As we move from one season into...

I have never blogged about a story like this before. I usually stick to U.S. politics, but I came across an outrageous developing situation; this is a story that I feel needs telling.

The only information that I can find, in English, comes from Human Rights Watch so

Democrats are balancing on a live wire and after the primaries are finished need to take decisive and immediate action to ensure the nomination battle does not make it all the way to Denver. That, surely, would cost us the general election in November.

I am writing today in strong...

At a John Edwards event earlier this afternoon in Bedford, NH, we happened upon a very interesting conversation taking place between Elizabeth Edwards and Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter.

First a bit of background: A few weeks...

There is a frenzied feeling throughout New Hampshire on this final day before the primary. Everywhere we've been there are signs that a pivotal vote is just hours away and campaigns are out in force searching for last minute votes.

Each campaign is holding as many events as they can...

Last night DoubleSpeak had a behind-the-scenes view at the ABC News/Facebook debate. We spent most of the evening in the press filing center but did get a chance to venture out to the demonstration area and the spin-room to film. Outside the venue, hundreds of supporters of both the candidates...

After the debates were finished we spent time in the nearby spin room tracking down surrogates to get their impressions on the debate.

Here are some highlights from our interviews. The first piece includes Massachusetts Governor and Obama supporter Deval Patrick and John Edwards political consultant Joe Trippi. We also...

We just did a brief interview with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, co-hosts of the MSNBC's morning show, "Morning Joe." We got an up-close look at their playful (flirtatious???) banter and got to ask them both a few questions about the race.

Ever the politician- Scarborough ducked away as Mika...

We are here in the press filing center at St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH. The room itself is a large gymnasium that has roughly 15 rows of tables, roughly 50 people per table. We are fully equipped with (slow) internet access and have been fed.

Prior to the debate...
