Barack Obama has just done a difficult - and necessary - thing. He has ended his relationship with Rev. Wright. I watched most of Sen. Obama's press conference (missed the very beginning but heard most of his opening remarks and all the questions he took) and am now listening to...

Watching Barack Obama on Fox News Sunday, I was struck by something that hadn't occurred to me before: Maybe Fox News thinks they might have to deal with Barack being president and -- unlike Bill Clinton -- they see no immediate reason to try and destroy his presidency from...

I want to congratulate the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams for doing such a thorough job reporting the true, 9.4 percent (not "double digits") nature of Hillary Clinton's win in Pennsylvania on last night's news....

The official results for last night's debate as of 12noon Eastern time are:

Hillary Clinton - 1,258,278 (54.7 percent)
Barack Obama - 1,042,573 (45.3 percent)

99 percent of all votes have been counted.

When you subtract 45.3 from 54.7 you get 9.4.

The last time I checked my...

Forrest Gump is "the story of a man with an IQ of 75 and his epic journey through life, meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture and experiencing first-hand historic events while largely...

Last night, we witnessed the television journalism equivalent to FEMA's response to the Katrina disaster. And the faster we realize that's what happened, the faster we'll be able to save the socioeconomic fabric of our...

As the controversy over Barack's "bitter" comments continues (at least in the minds of the pundits who get answers to whether it's an issue or not by asking themselves), I watched tonight's Compassion Forum on CNN to see how Barack would handle the subject before a faith-oriented audience. Given...

George Stephanopoulos of ABC News has broken the news that when Bill Richardson called Hillary Clinton to tell her he'd be endorsing Barack Obama, Hillary emphatically said "Barack Obama cannot win, Bill. He cannot win.".

So, Hillary's case is no longer just that she's the best person to be...

(You can watch a video version of this essay on YouTube here.)

I scratch my head at how most pundits are saying any remaining campaigning will be purely about Hillary and Barack's personality differences. (I heard David Brooks say that again this morning on Meet The Press.)

Do...

Shortly before 2 p.m. Eastern today, Andrea Mitchell interviewed Joshua Green of The Atlantic regarding Hillary Clinton's participation in The Fellowship (a/k/a The Family). You can read my opinion of Hillary's participation in this organization (including links to background articles in Harpers in early 2003 and Mother Jones in late...

"You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend." said Hillary Clinton, to reporters and editors of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday the 25th.

This is an interesting choice of words, since -- while we mostly hear about her Methodist upbringing -- Hillary...

Those who read my post from last night about Senator Obama's passport file being broken into know my main concern is full disclosure of the facts... not the Bush administration's spin on what happened.

We deserve to know the truth regarding the who, what, when, where, and why of...

This is a follow up to my March 16th post asking what the real breaking news story involving Eliot Spitzer was.

Responding to those who say the pursuit of former New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer was unnecessary and, perhaps, inappropriate - because prosecuting people who use prostitutes is...

Breaking News from MSNBC:

The passport files of Senator Barack Obama were inappropriately accessed on January 9th, February 14th, and March 14th of this year by contract employees of the State Department.

The facts being presented on MSNBC (or perhaps I should say "information being presented as fact")...

I visited Wall Street after the close of the market on Monday and was struck by how normal everything seemed. There was a chill in the air, hot pretzels were for sale from street vendors, tourists were snapping pictures, and workers were (mostly) eager to get home.

I followed the...

Greg Palast was the first reporter to raise the potential connection between Eliot Spitzer being exposed for using prostitutes and his being the only voice against the Bush administration's planned bail out of Wall Street with billions and billions of taxpayer dollars. You can read Greg's March 14th article...

To me, The Twilight Zone was one of the great television series of all time; because it portrayed the alternative realities that can exist in people's minds. In one famous episode, a pre-Star Trek William Shatner played Don, a newlywed who gets caught up in the answers doled...

Hillary is determined to win the nomination. We all know that. In fact, her team held a day-long meeting with their key fundraisers in Washington yesterday which you can read about here.

Hillary spoke soon after noon to her top money people. "She took questions for most of the...

I'm reading The New York Times' interesting report on how the Clinton and Obama campaigns are engaged in competing efforts to define what it means to be "winning" the Democratic nomination fight.

From what the Times reports, you'd think the only important things are (a) who has more individual...

Dear Hillary,

I know you frequently like to say that you have been "already vetted", so there's nothing left for the Republicans to attack you on that you have not already responded to in the past.

Well, you don't get to be Governor of New York State without being...
