There's no way of knowing yet if these real stories will make the difference this time around. But the White House thinks it's a winning strategy since it is, after all, one Obama used successfully during the election.
The Democratically-controlled Congress talks a good game to get LGBT votes and money -- but they don't have much to show for LGBT loyalty.
The political reality is that -- especially for contentious issues -- there is a very small window for presidents to get things done.
McAuliffe presented himself as a carpetbagger, pure and simple. Blaming the Clintons is grossly unfair to the former President and the Secretary of State.
Jeremiah Wright's sermons are old hat to anyone who is familiar with his ministry and the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
As a Japanese-Jew, I have historically used self deprecating humor at my own expense as a way to explain and defend to others who I was and to feel ac...
Since Obama has become president, I feel comfortable as the multiracial shikseh that I am, and am engaging in thoughtful conversations about my heritage and background, without self-deprecation.
It's seems stylish and even respectable again in political and social circles to admit that you may consider motherhood as important as any career, thanks to First Lady Michelle Obama.
Nader's accusation goes to the heart of the good ol' boy politics that McAuliffe represents and the very type which Obama sought to push out of the DNC's inner circle.
It is early, but so far, OFA's legislative "organizing" efforts run the risk of being boring, vague and redundant.
As unemployment rises, a college degree is more important than ever. We must do everything we can to make sure all eligible students can get the education they need to get ahead.
First published at WashingtonTimes.com The DNC is going positive with a new forward-looking television ad showcasing its view of President Obama's ach...
The DNC is going after Dick Cheney with a new fundraising pitch -- asking supporters to donate money for a one-way bus ticket to send the former vice president back to Wyoming.
As college students are coming back to their campuses for the spring semester, many of us are noticing that far too many of our peers' desks are empty.
Those who do not know history are, as we all know, doomed to repeat it. But there should be some sort of special doom reserved for those who actually...
I used to joke helplessly that I'd be better off working for less in a menial retail job with good benefits once you weigh my hourly rate with the high out-of-pocket cost of my lack of benefits.

I have watched with mild amusement this week the self-immolation of the Republican Party as it bows before the altar of Rush Limbaugh, begging for mer...
Molly Ivins made us want to be our better selves and stand up and use our power. Two years after her death, she would be so proud that we finally woke up and worked to make this happen.
The Republican strategy sounds like the demon child of Mao's Cultural Revolution and Stalin's five-year plans: a criminal intolerance of social differences combined with an outrageously failed economic policy.

'I haven't spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women's rights at home and around the world.'
now, finally the truth from MRS Clinton who spent 35 years running for the presidency.
Hill.ary for Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare!!!
Yeah, I know. They are two departments now, but I'm prepared to reconsider that decision.
That speech and her empassioned delivery were among the best I've ever seen, and I was so not prepared to have that opinion before watching it.
As an ardent, long time supporter of Obama, I just want to say that Hillary delivered, big time! That was exactly the charge we needed, I hope we get more of the same from Bill.
I second that.
This speech sounded like it came from her and not her campaign managers. She should have run her campaign like this all along.
Like many people, I could pick apart the speech because it didn't reflect exactly the pitch I thought it should, but I have to take a stand here.
I have to take a stand against everyone acting as expert judges because a turn of a phrase didn't reflect their precise rarified criteria.
I have to take a stand against those who speak as though they are experts when they didn't inform their opinions based on fact, rather than parroted, unexamined misconceptions.
Therefore, as a devout Obama supporter, I will say she did more than what was asked of her in her speech. I hope she makes a direct statement to the still recalcitrant supporters of hers to cast their vote for Obama, as a personal favor to her. If that doesn't sway them, I'd have to wonder if their hearts are really in the right place.
