Clinton's Open Letter To Obama On MI and FL

M.S. Bellows, Jr. | Posted May 8, 2008 | Off The Bus


M.S. Bellows, Jr.

On a day when it appears that the Michigan controversy may be resolved in a way that's fair to all parties -- but not in a way that gives Hillary Clinton all that state's delegates and Barack Obama none, as her campaign insists -- Clinton has just upped...

Obama, the Democratic Nominee

Dave Winer | Posted May 7, 2008 | Politics


Dave Winer

1. There's no doubt now, Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee, and very likely the next president. I doubt if McCain has the sense of entitlement that HRC had but he's going to run on experience, and we don't want experience, we want intelligence, honesty and change.

Game, Set, Match: North Carolina and Indiana Settled the Democratic Nomination

Robert Creamer | Posted May 7, 2008 | Politics


Robert Creamer

Barack Obama's landslide victory in the North Carolina Primary, coupled with Hillary Clinton's microscopic win in Indiana settled the outcome of the battle for the Democratic Nomination. The results made it both mathematically and politically impossible for her to wrest the nomination from Obama. They also eliminated the underpinning...

How to Lose an Election 101

Keli Goff | Posted May 6, 2008 | Politics


Keli Goff A couple of years ago I listened as one Democratic activist described what it felt like to be a Democrat during most of the Bush-pushing last decade. She said it was akin to being on a football field and watching as the opposing team unveiled one Adonis after the other...

Dean, Not Obama or Clinton, Should Drop Out

Earl Ofari Hutchinson | Posted April 28, 2008 | Politics


Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Democratic National Chair Howard Dean, not Obama or Clinton, should drop out of the political derby. He, not Obama or Clinton, has made a shambles of the Democrat's chances of beating McCain. This presidential race should never have been a race. With Bush's and the GOP's towering foreign and domestic...

Forcing Guns Into Workplaces

Paul Helmke | Posted April 25, 2008 | Politics


Paul Helmke

Forcing employers to allow guns at work? This is an idea only the gun lobby could like. Yet it is one they are trying to push into every state and workplace in America at the expense of your safety.

Long and lean with a taut potbelly, he's a suntanned country-sophisticate with perfect white hair and a gold rope necklace bearing a gold anchor to match the one on his pinkie ring. He has a taste for things from the ocean either still squirming or deep-fried into submission, along with...

Is Wednesday D-Day For Superdelegates?

Larry Womack | Posted April 21, 2008 | Politics


Larry Womack

Barring a huge upset, Hillary Clinton will win Pennsylvania tomorrow by about 5-10 points. The media will act surprised, Barack Obama's campaign will say she still can't win the nomination with pledged delegates, and no new points will be scored. Clinton will then lose North Carolina spectacularly, win Indiana narrowly...

Throw Out the Rove-era Election Map For November

Daniel Nichanian | Posted April 10, 2008 | Off The Bus


Daniel Nichanian

An Obama-McCain general election match-up would ensure that the electoral map we are accustomed to changes; both candidates appeal to states traditionally abandoned by their respective parties, but they are also both dangerously weak among groups previous nominees have carried more easily. Clinton could also transform the map, as she...

Letter from Miami: Florida Just Can't Seem to Shake Off Its Banana Republicanism -- Even The Democrats

David Paul Appell | Posted April 9, 2008 | Politics


David Paul Appell

My goodness, all this drawn-out brouhaha about how Florida Democrats did or didn't really stick their feet in it this time by going along with the Republican-dominated legislature's scheme to move up the state's primary. But it's just the latest episode in the ongoing saga of this state's hapless Dems...

Michigan and Florida count and so do the voters in both of these states.

Does anyone think Clinton can win the nomination without counting the voters of Michigan and Florida? Think again. Obama knows...

An Issue of Legitimacy and Democracy

Jon Corzine | Posted April 6, 2008 | Politics


Jon Corzine

There have been some who have tried to read my comments last week on CNBC's SquawkBox as stepping back from my support of Senator Clinton. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I personally know, respect and like both Democratic candidates. Both are qualified. Both will be an agent...

Could the Republicans Pick the Democratic Nominee? -- The Untold Story of How the GOP Rigged Florida and Michigan

Wayne Barrett | Posted March 31, 2008 | Politics


Wayne Barrett

Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean came out of hiding last week to announce that there is no reason to rush to resolve the fate of Florida and Michigan. He said he was confident that these delegations, disqualified in 2007 by Dean's own Rules Committee, would be seated at the...

Florida Superdelegate Introduces New Argument To Seat The State's Superdelegates

Democratic Convention Watch 2008   |   March 26, 2008 12:11 PM


Starting to percolate on the newswire is an appeal by DNC Floridian Jon Ausman. He is stating that DNC rules prohibit the Rules Committee from: a.) stripping Florida's superdelegates of being seated at the national convention and b.) stripping Florida...

The one and only Great Robert Strauss, former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee in the 1970s, Clark Clifford in the 1950s and 1960s, emerged as the senior Democratic Party leader and peace maker in the 1980s and 90s,...

Michigan, Florida, and the L-word

Alex Keyssar | Posted March 23, 2008 | Politics


Alex Keyssar

Barring some bizarre new twist in the endless campaign, there will not be "do-over" primaries in Florida and Michigan.

According to news reports, the Obama campaign had a lot to do with that outcome. With the clock ticking, the campaign stalled, quibbled, and objected to different possible election formats...

Brian Wolff

If it's an election year, you can bet that both parties will be fighting hard to swing the battleground state of Florida in their direction. This election year, its clear that Floridians are tired of President Bush's failed policies and want big change. The environment is ripe for a big...

Paul Loeb | Posted March 20, 2008 | Politics


Paul Loeb

No matter how well Clinton does in the remaining primaries, her future is going to be in the hands of the superdelegates. It's time for them to exercise their power to rein in scorched-earth campaigning.

Oregon Congressman Peter DeFazio recently criticized both Clinton and Obama in a public...

The Silent Superiority: Why Florida and Michigan Superdelegates Should Not Be Seated

Mark Myers | Posted March 19, 2008 | Politics


Mark Myers

Lost in the shuffle of what's fair for the voters of Florida and Michigan is the question of what's fair for the superdelegates hailing from these two states. You know them: the esteemed party leaders who, according to insiders such as Geraldine Ferraro, possess the requisite vision, leadership and judgment...
