Mitt Romney's history at the helm of Bain Capital tells us a lot about the kind of leader he would make as president.

First, of course, it demonstrates conclusively that he has absolutely no experience "creating jobs." Bain Capital was not in business to "create jobs" -- it was...

Believe that, as President, Mitt Romney would revert to his days as a "Massachusetts Moderate?" Think again.

Every bit of evidence indicates that if he were President, the Far Right would lead Romney around by a ring in his nose.

Just last week, we saw it clearly on...

By all rights, the Republican presidential candidate should have a lot of wind at his back in 2012.

• President Obama's economic policies brought an end to the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression and have now yielded 25 straight months of private sector jobs growth. But many Americans are...

It's not rocket science.

The chief goal of our economic policy is to increase per capita economic output -- measured by per capita Gross Domestic Product. That's what allows people to live better next year than they did the year before. That's what allows our children to...

Time was, not long ago, when the right wing railed against the overreach of unelected judges with lifetime appointments who tried to usurp the power of Congress and impose their own vision of society.

That was before the Roberts Court. In fact, it turns out, many extreme...

As the Republican primary season soldiers on, you periodically hear pundits argue that in the end it will "strengthen" Mitt Romney -- or whomever the ultimate winner turns out to be. That, they say, was what happened in 2008, and that is what will happen this year as well. After...

Eight months before the fall elections, Republican strategists are in a dour mood.

• The economy has begun to gain traction.
• Their leading candidate for president, Mitt Romney, is universally viewed as an uninspiring poster child for the one percent, with no core values anyone can point to except...

From the point of view of a partisan Democrat, I can only think of one thing to say about the Republican Party's escalating opposition to birth control: go ahead, make our day.

You have to wonder if the political consultants advising the Republican presidential candidates have lost their...

In many respects it is amazing that in 2012 there is a controversy over women's access to birth control.

Let's be clear, the current controversy over the Obama administration's rules that require all employers who provide health insurance to provide birth control without a co-pay to its women...

Last Friday the GOP had a really bad day. It didn't come in the form of new polling results -- or some new political scandal. It was delivered to them by the economic statistics:

• Private sector jobs up 243,000 -- almost 100,000 more than expected.
• Unemployment rate down...

More than most elections, the contest for President this fall is likely to be decided less on "wedge issues" -- or even candidate positions that are symbolic of who is on whose side -- and more on the character and core values of the candidates -- and for that...

The last few weeks of the Republican Presidential road show has been dominated by discussion of Mitt Romney's career as head of a Wall Street private equity firm -- Bain Capital. Most people who enter politics have some previous career in the private sector -- especially if they're wealthy....

President Obama's announcement that Cecilia Munoz will be appointed to lead the White House Domestic Policy Council is great news for Progressives - and especially for advocates of immigration reform.

Munoz is a passionate advocate of the interests of everyday working people and defending the embattled American middle...

To maximize their odds of reclaiming their hold on the White House, the Republican establishment believes they need two things:

• To nominate Mitt Romney;
• To effectively end the Republican nominating process as soon as possible.

Last night's results from Iowa lower the odds they will...

In recent American politics, every major shift in political momentum has resulted from an iconic battle.

In 1995 the tide of the 1994 "Republican Revolution" was reversed when Speaker Newt Gingrich and his new Republican House majority shut down the government in a battle over their attempts to cut...

Earlier this week, Republican Presidential candidate Willard Mitt Romney delivered a speech framing the 2012 presidential election as a choice between an "entitlement society" and an "opportunity society."

It really takes chutzpa for a guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth to rail...

Every year about this time the gang at Fox News and others in the Right Wing blogosphere get on their high horse about the "liberal attack on Christmas" -- or President Obama's "attack on Christmas."

Of course all you have to do is have a look at...

Today, Republican House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan will present his new "bi-partisan compromise" plan to a meeting of an outfit known as the "Bipartisan Policy Center."

Ryan's latest proposal would allow individuals to choose between traditional Medicare or vouchers that provide "premium support" for private insurance plans....

Sometime in the next 15 days, the last American troops will leave Iraq -- and the War that began almost nine years ago will finally come to an end.

Today, President Obama addresses some of those returning troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The big difference between...

Last week, after yet another episode of bizarre behavior on the Republican campaign trial, one of my partners -- political consultant John Hennelly -- came into my office and asked, "Next, will all eight of these guys ride into the arena piled into a VW Beetle and pile out...
