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.
Virginia Dems Hear from President Clinton By Mike Smith Former President Bill Clinton came to Richmond to call on democrats, in a state that had gon...
If you're just browsing by for the Rush Limbaugh contest, you can just scroll down to the end, to talking point number seven. Because we're going to ...
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 am looking forward to this also but I wish that people would tone down this idea that he is an African American. He like so many of us, is a good old American mutt. A combination of genes from different gene pools. This is one of the best things about this country and he and we should be proud of it. A blend of races,ideas,cultures and values. He is a bright eloquent man that has ideas and values that supports this melting pot and the alternative is the exact opposite. Their ideas and values are for a certain ethnic type and they are proud of their segregation. This is why the party that listens to all members of the melting pot are the dems. He is the current leader of the dems and it is only fitting that he is a mutt.
Amazing that Cameron left out another incredible first: the first time a woman's name will be placed in nomination for the highest office in the land. Or is it true that the DNC and Barack Obama are pressuring Hillary to remove her name? What are these clowns afraid of?
Cameron - Seems everything you have done thus far in your career was preparation for this moment in time. This is an amazing year on many levels. I grew up w/the new Governor of NY -- and my deceased mother grew up w/his dad -- during a very different time and place in our history, it is increasing becoming clear. God speed -- and easy does it! Your focus on flexibility combined w/a underlying framework that allows fluidity, security and expansiveness/inclusion on an unprecedented scale -- will make possible a truly Democratic Party Convention that meets not only the standards -- but the spirit and emotional quotient, relevancy and meaning BEYOND anything seen before. Thank you and your team for, what must be, more than two years VERY HARD WORK. We will all do our part, nationally.
