PHILADELPHIA -- The Pennsylvania primary launched Hillary Clinton on a difficult, but feasible path to ultimately leading the nationwide popular vote in the Democratic presidential race.

In yesterday's Keystone State primary, she cut Barack Obama's national overall lead by some 200,000 votes. That still leaves him half-a-million votes ahead...

After six weeks of campaigning, mudslinging, and silly questions to candidates befitting a B-level reality show, Pennsylvania Democrats finally had their say handing Senator Hillary Clinton an important victory over Senator Barack Obama.

Dear Geraldine Ferraro,

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for providing to the American public your deep insights on the lives of African-American men. In the face of all the poverty level and crime-level and incarceration-rate statistics, you stand boldly behind that illusive Black male concept...

Geraldine Ferraro tried to stick her foot in her mouth but her loafers were too small. So instead she unpacked a whip and stuck that in there and it fit just right. This week she theorized that a self-made black guy with a Muslim name has a political advantage over...

Hillary's Gettysburg

Tom Douglas

I am keenly aware of historical ironies whereby would-be conquerors are destroyed from within by those who overreach as a result of their desire to attain their objective. The examples are endless: the needless expansion of the Roman empire to untenable proportions; Napoleon in Russia; the Nazis in Russia; the...

Character as Destiny: The Clintonian Narcissism of 2008

Jon Robin Baitz | Posted March 12, 2008 | Politics


Jon Robin Baitz

There is something stomach-turning about the Clintonian strategy for winning the nomination. Underneath that which is so disgusting, however, there are little passion plays playing out -- about the state of the nation, and the state of its soul-sick psyche. While there is no overt reason to conclude that they...

Susan Kaiser Greenland

Clinton advisor Geraldine Ferraro, the first and only woman to have been a major party VP candidate in a presidential election, views herself as a victim of racism.
