RJ Eskow | Posted May 14, 2008 | Politics


RJ Eskow

Hillary's remaining advocates have said that she was only 'telling it like it is,' albeit with what they'd call a little awkward phrasing, when she told the AP last week that "hard working Americans, white Americans" will never vote for Obama. Okay. As long as we're telling it like is,...

Frank A. Weil

The US is at a crucial flexion point in selecting its next Democratic Candidate for president.

John Kerry | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


John Kerry

Look, I've been around politics long enough to know that it's a contact sport. Words will be abused. Phrases will be taken out of context.

Obama/McCain: Kennedy/Nixon or Eisenhower/Stevenson?

Trey Ellis | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


Trey Ellis

Perhaps because it is through telling stories that I pay my rent, but I think that humans reason via analogy and storytelling. We attempt to get a handle on the present and predict the future through comparisons to stories of the past. If someone is trying to sell us some...

Robert J. Elisberg

Much attention was made of Hillary Clinton's interview last week with USA Today, when she noted that support for Barack Obama "among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
