Let's face it. Pennsylvania is Hillary Clinton's to lose.
If the primary were held today, Clinton would win by double digits. If the primary were held next week, same thing. Like neighboring Ohio, where Clinton won 55 percent to Barack Obama's 45 percent, the population tends to be older,...

The short answer -- yes, but, at what cost?

If you compare last night's Democratic presidential debate to one of the classic, Las Vegas-style prizefights--from the high-stakes betting on favorites to the carefully-scripted, boxing-style introductions of the candidates from separate corners--then it's fair to assume that on the day after their struggling performance, John Edwards and Barack Obama are...

Before watching former Sen. Fred Thompson's much-hyped and fairly anti-climactic appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, there were only four questions that we hoped Tim Russert would pull from his now famous (or is it infamous?) bag of tricks. What is defining the campaign and why-just read the

If you're wondering why the Barack Obama campaign is losing traction among black voters--and make no mistake, it is, the latest Washington Post/ABC News Poll show he trails Hillary Clinton by at least 13 percent among blacks nationally--look no further than the meta-messaging presented in the New York...
