2008 Election

A picture is starting to emerge of how the Clinton campaign might move at the Democratic convention in its uphill battle for the nomination, and it is not a pretty one. In fact, it is so bare-knuckled and low-ball that it is not implausible to imagine it rupturing the Party....

The media fascination with the daily head-to-head between Senators Obama and Clinton is somewhat humorous to me, because it begins to take on the feeling of who wins goes on to be president. Not so.

The most important indicator of where the election is heading is the long-term trends --...

As an ardent Obama supporter, I am calling on the Senator from New York to stay in the race for as long as she can stand it. Longer even. I think the calls for her withdrawal are deeply troubling, and even hysterical. Anti-democratic even. This is how an election works....

I suppose I am a member of the demographic that the Clinton Campaign has identified as the "loyal mature women" supporters. This came as a surprise to me, this sudden turn toward Hillary Clinton as the best possible candidate for president -- first WOMAN President -- of the United States...

I heard a great idea on one of the blathering pundit shows this weekend, but I must admit I can't remember which one, so I can't credit it properly (apologies to whomever uttered the idea in the first place). In a nutshell: Obama and Clinton should declare a cease-fire between...

George Bernard Shaw in middle age took a walk through a British village cemetery and came upon a gravestone which bore a remarkable inscription. It advised that the woman buried there had "Died - Age 76. Cut down in the prime of life." He was so smitten with the sentiment...

Hillary Clinton has fanciful memory lapse about trip to Bosnia while First Lady. John McCain keeps stepping on tongue on trip to Middle East. And these are the candidates with "experience" in foreign policy.

Overlooked footnote to Clinton's arrival in Bosnia. It happened at 3 a.m.!

Nancy...

For politicians who see campaigns as a war for personal gain, truth is always the first casualty. Reality is nothing but a tool to be bent and distorted to the candidate's will, regardless of the long-term costs to that candidate's party, her nation, or the values she claims to represent....

AOL News reports this:

Despite calls for his rival to drop out of their tight race for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama said Saturday, "My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants."

Note the tepid and dismissive "Senator Clinton...

The last week in March was, with little doubt, one of the most trying for the Clinton campaign. Her quest to gain superdelegates was blunted by Bob Casey and Bill Richardson, two major party players who have clearly recognized the writing on the wall. The core of her experience rationale...

The possibility of a McIntosh/Granny Smith unity ticket fades further into unlikelihood.

Calling "These People" Out: More on the Increasingly Tiresome -- And Dangerous -- Obama/Clinton Divide

By Victoria Marinelli

The Democratic party finds itself engaged in a protracted civil war at time when it had expected to be in a position to concentrate its attacks on the Republicans and their nominee. In a year in which a Republican victory seems almost impossible -- a year in which simply asking...
