John R. Bohrer | Posted April 15, 2008 | Politics


John R. Bohrer

Respected Democratic political scientist John B. Judis has an article in The New Republic which seems to say that Barack Obama surely cannot win the presidency against John McCain -- especially after his San Francisco comments.

To win in November, a Democratic presidential candidate has to carry...

John Fund | Posted April 15, 2008 | Politics


John Fund

Democrats have a habit of falling in love with candidates on the first date.

Barack Obama's comments last week - about how alienated working-class voters "cling to guns or religion" - are already famous. But the fact that his aides told the Washington Post that he is privately bewildered that...

Doctor Faust in 2008

Gary Hart | Posted April 14, 2008 | Politics


Gary Hart

Anyone who has spent any time around politics knows that there are various paths to power. Most of these paths lie between the high road and the low road. The lowest road is the one that leads to power through destruction of one's opponent. That road is also the path...

With Clinton It Would Be "Hillary Hates Hicks" -- With Obama It's "Compassion"

Jackson Williams | Posted April 14, 2008 | Media


Jackson Williams

Unlike Bush, I don't buy into the "you're with us or you're with the enemy" mindset. I'll proudly vote for the Democratic nominee in November, so I don't bow exclusively at the alter of either Obama or Clinton. That's for rabid supporters, blood relatives, or me if I'm on the...

There's not a whole lot to say about this except to just point it out. 49-year-old Kentucky Representative Geoff Davis apparently had this to say about Obama at a GOP dinner in the state:

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger...

Too Many Obama Ads?

Christina Bellantoni | Posted April 14, 2008 | Politics


Christina Bellantoni

Some voters were complaining in Texas that Sen. Barack Obama was saturating the airwaves with commercials. Even supporters grumbled they couldn't click through the channels each night without seeing a flood of his ads.


Sen. Hillary Clinton has repeatedly said her rival is outspending her, and she's...

Beth Arnold

With breaking news of Senator Hillary Clinton's heretofore unknown personal history and incredible accomplishments coming out daily, I thought I'd do some research of my own.

Hillary Get Your Gun

RJ Eskow | Posted April 13, 2008 | Politics


RJ Eskow

Are you a Hillary fan? Then put ZZ Top's "Gun Love"1 on the turntable and let 'er rip. Sen. Clinton is, in that song's words, "running with the wild bunch, makin' like Robert De Niro." And when it comes to this primary race she's decided, in the words of that...

Ron Levitt | Posted April 13, 2008 | Off The Bus


Ron Levitt

MIAMI-- Despite Democratic National Committee chief Howard Dean and Congressional representatives' pledge that a Sunshine State delegation will be seated at the Denver convention in August, there is still whimpering that no specific details are forthcoming from Washington or Tallahassee, no hotel space designated, and no verdict as to whether...

Janet Ritz

In her recent speech at the Conference on World Affairs, Rachel Maddow cited James Madison's warning about the unitary executive: The propensity of an unchecked executive branch to lean toward war in opposition to a legislature more likely to debate the issue before moving toward conflict.

Maddow's supposition, that...

The New York Times   |  HELEN KIRWAN-TAYLOR   |   April 12, 2008 07:33 PM


FOR some time, Londoners have been using the word "we" when referring to the American elections. With the British news media reporting every detail from the campaign trail, many here feel that they are sitting, if not in the front...

Newsweek   |  Howard Fineman   |   April 12, 2008 06:22 PM

McCain Said It, Before He Attacked It

David Sirota | Posted April 11, 2008 | Politics


David Sirota

John McCain's campaign is attacking Barack Obama for Obama's rather indisputable comments about the rise of anti-immigrant fervor in small town America. Obama said that the rise of such fervor has a lot to do with bitterness.

But wait - didn't John McCain say something similar in...

Clintons' Squabbles: Not Funny

Flavia Colgan | Posted April 11, 2008 | Politics
