Chivalry is Alive and Well and Living in Las Vegas
The days of the iron hand in the velvet glove are over. The gloves are off, and all candidates must be prepared to get down and dirty, as well as come clean about where their allegiances are.

Vegas baby — woooo! The elbows come out, the claws are bared, and turns out nobody really knows about that driver's license thing. Plus, Edwards? Maybe not the most cuddly running mate for Hillary.

Nobody else -- nobody in the entire universe of media requests -- is asking for speech transcripts of presidential candidates. This should be a signal that the mainstream media is not even interested in what the actual candidates have to say.

Kucinich demonstrated last week that he is willing to fight fire with fire when it comes to dealing with Bush and Cheney like no other Democrat has done yet.

What a difference a poll makes. Say ta-ta to triangulation, Hillary. Scrap that pox-on-boomer-era culture wars, Barack.

Even the most cursory reading of anything James Madison wrote on the subject of executive power clearly shows that Dick Cheney's expansive views of the powers of the Executive Branch are totally un-American.

The idea of impeaching those responsible for an unnecessary war is certainly enticing, especially for those of us who have lost loved ones in Iraq. I...

At last week's MSNBC debate, Tim Russert you tried to make a mockery of Dennis Kucinich. Where's the respect for a candidate with enough gravitas to bring up the I word for W?
Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 11.06.2007 | Politics
If we allow Bush and Cheney to succeed in permanently altering the balance of powers between the branches of government, the Constitution will become a dead letter. Support HR 333 to impeach Cheney.

The only question any real progressive should be asking right now is, "Tell me again why we're not supporting Kucinich?"

It's hard to remember that the real enemies are the Republicans when the Democrats tend to break your heart and the Republicans are just the boys you'd never go out with anyway.

Kucinich raffles off Elizabeth and his book. Fred mixes up domestic and international policy. Edwards publishes bogus newspaper.

It seemed as if Edwards was the one who had given the interview to the New York Times last Sunday and not Barack Obama.
Huffington Post | Rachel Sklar | Posted 10.31.2007 | Media
Perhaps he could have spoken to the issue in such a way that did not lump him in with Kucinich after that question further marginalized him as a fringe and (ahem) out-there candidate.

Contrary to decades of research, the male Democratic presidential candidates sound more equivocal than the woman.
