I have voted in every presidential primary since 1972, but because I live in California, my vote has never counted. By the time Californians got to vote, the candidate for each party had already been selected by voters in other states. When California moved up its primary to become part...

Hillary Clinton said 'no.'
Barack Obama said 'no.'

It's exciting to see young people take an interest in politics. It's exciting to watch a candidate elicit extraordinary enthusiasm. Barack Obama is on a roll. He deserves it. Voter enthusiasm may indeed carry him to the nomination. And, if so, let's hope also to the presidency.

Bill Richardson will be in town today, speaking in the town square, which is a small park area in the middle of town on a large rotary.
Normally the square can accommodate hundreds of people -- it's the place where bands play during the summer. If...

I hate to be the skunk at the ball. I also am happy that the junior Senator from Illinois and his young-at-heart acolytes bested the junior Senator from New York and her Rasputin Mark Penn.

Tonight, the voters speak for the first time.
Sitting here in Des Moines, an observer obviously, there is a quietness today that happens when all of the polling stops, all of the ads seemingly go by the wayside, the punches and counter-punches end, and Iowans tonight will bundle up...

Everyone needs to understand what this means. It means that Dennis, a real old fashioned anti--global corporate leftie, has decided to back Obama rather than Edwards, who got Nader's endorsement a few days ago.
Mull it over. That's huge. It means Dennis thinks that Obama can make a...
