Iowa City--More than 300 people jammed into the Mill, one of Iowa City's popular local bars, to see Bill Richardson the night before the caucuses. For a small place on a cold night to see a likely distant fourth-place candidate, it was a good turnout. Yet, when Richardson arrived, standing...

I predict that Ron Paul supporters will launch a major boycott of Fox News, which will then be supported by many progressive Democrats, if Fox News shamefully excludes Paul from the upcoming New Hampshire primary debate.
Maybe Democrats should invite Ron Paul to an upcoming Democratic debate to give...

You read it here first: after Iowa and New Hampshire the pundits will proclaim 2008 The Year Of The Political Independent that will advantage Barack Obama and John McCain, and disadvantage Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney.
The great realignment is at hand, and it is anti-Washington, anti-establishment, and anti-Bush...

Immediately after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto the front page story in the Washington Post about Pakistan and the presidential campaign did not even mention Joe Biden, the only candidate who seriously distinguished himself on the Pakistan crisis. Upon reflection, the Washington Post editorial page, which has supported Bush...

At the end of the day, when the madness of our election process is over, each of us is likely, no matter who we individually supported, to be disappointed. But, as I've pointed out since the 2006 elections, there is much to be optimistic about when it comes to...

There's only one thing worse than the NY Times Christmas present reminder that old-school consultants make millions of dollars off our Democratic candidates for president -- the constant and shocking reminders that they don't know what they are doing, in fact, they wouldn't pass muster at even a low-level advertising...

Yesterday in Waterloo Iowa, I sat down and discussed two things that I hope people will pay a lot of attention to over the next two weeks: Iraq, and its devastating effect on our veterans and their families.

We learned this week that the CIA destroyed tapes of American officials committing torture. The American people deserve to know whether laws were violated and whether the President was directly involved in illegal activities. Torture is a black and white moral issue. A failure to act decisively in this case...

The following piece was produced by HuffPost's OffTheBus.
The Democrats debated today in a forum sponsored by the Des Moines Register -- and the 90 minutes were as subdued as they possibly could have been. In fact, it looked like the six candidates (Kucinich and Gravel were excluded,...
