A Warrior for Another Time

Mary Lyon | Posted May 7, 2008 | Politics


Mary Lyon

Ever since this campaign shifted into overdrive, I've been wishing it was like some sort of Time Traveler's Checkerboard. If we could plug some dynamics of this year into 2000, or 2004, imagine how much less glum we'd all be now, as Americans, and how much less grim our circumstances...

Obama De-friends Wright on Facebook

Andy Borowitz | Posted April 30, 2008 | Politics


Andy Borowitz

In an act that campaign insiders said indicated an irrevocable break with his former pastor, Sen. Barack Obama today de-friended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Facebook.

Sen. Obama's comments about Rev. Wright on Tuesday seemed to indicate that a total rift with his former minister was underway, but his decision...

Snaphots: Our Political-Entertainment Industrial Complex

Scott Shrake

In 1999, outside the renowned annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner, my friend Kristyne and I watched Rob Lowe, Janet Reno, Geraldine Ferraro, and a bunch of other famous people get out of their limos... and then... Miss Morgan Fairchild walked by. Kristyne yelled, in genuine admiration, "Nice rack,...

What Really Counts in Pennsylvania

Craig Crawford | Posted April 23, 2008 | Politics


Craig Crawford

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...

Pennsylvania Observations

Michael Fauntroy | Posted April 23, 2008 | Politics


Michael Fauntroy

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. The win may well be the worst of both worlds. On the one hand, it gives Clinton...

Dumping Air America's Randi Rhodes Won't Cure Progressives Clinical Hillary Obsession

Earl Ofari Hutchinson | Posted April 4, 2008 |


Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Air America yak jock should not have been suspended. She should have been canned. That will never happen though. After her moment kid slap, she'll be back on the Air America airwaves with more, albeit slightly toned down until the heats off, ritual diatribes against Hillary Clinton. Rhodes got the...

The Game Of Renouncing And Denouncing

HuffingtonPost.com   |  Jason Linkins   |   March 26, 2008 10:30 AM


In yesterday's New York Times, columnist Stanley Fish weighed in on the "guilt by association" game that's played itself out again and again this political season, and found it lacking: In politics, and in much of the rest of life,...

America's Twisted Marriage of Religion and Politics

Paul Jenkins | Posted March 19, 2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

Barack Obama's church-related quandary is just the latest example of American politicians' perilous dance with religion. In a presidential campaign infused like never before with the candidates' efforts to sell their religious beliefs as best-fitting an illusory mainstream, Obama hasn't quite pulled it off, although he is in a far...

Obama's Philadelphia Address: All the "Right Stuff"

James Zogby | Posted March 18, 2008 | Politics


James Zogby

In bravely and comprehensively addressing the issue of race in America, its history and its persistent and corrosive impact on our society and politics, Barack Obama demonstrated uncommon leadership.

In recent weeks, the Democratic contest had descended into racially-tinged rancor. Comments by former Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro...

We Are Here Because Of Ashley

Yes He Did.

Senator Obama shows us what kind of president he will be in a crisis. Obama will be a brilliant teacher, a sincere uniter and an inspirational leader. Often accused of peddling false hope and empty rhetoric, Obama put that criticism behind him. Obama put his words...

I am White, Male, 52 Years Old

Dave Winer | Posted March 17, 2008 | Politics


Dave Winer

Last week race became the issue in the election of 2008.

Of course some people would say, and they're probably right, that it was always the issue, but it came to the surface last week. I won't try to speak for them, I'll just speak for myself.

I am...

An Open Letter to Geraldine Ferraro

P. Gabrielle Foreman | Posted March 17, 2008 | Politics


P. Gabrielle Foreman

Twenty-four years ago, when I was a young woman studying abroad, I made a call home from a pay phone on a busy Madrid corner and heard that you had been chosen to run as vice president. I can recall even now how absolutely elated I was -- how I...

Why We Must Oppose All Forms of Injustice

Ellen Bravo | Posted March 17, 2008 | Politics


Ellen Bravo

Oppression, alas, is not a zero sum game. The fact that Hillary Rodham Clinton has been subjected to outrageous displays of sexism throughout this campaign doesn't mean racism has been defeated. Both forms of injustice are alive and well in American institutions and sensibility.

That's why feminists must repudiate remarks...

Focus Group: Many Dems Agreed With Ferraro's Remarks

The Swamp   |  Frank James   |   March 16, 2008 11:31 AM


Geraldine Ferraro's comments about the role that Sen. Barack Obama's blackness has played in his political success are fodder for the Sunday talk shows. During a speech, the 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee was reported as saying: "Barack Obama would...

Andy Borowitz | Posted March 15, 2008 | Politics


Andy Borowitz

Buffeted by criticism of his controversial Christian pastor while continuing to quell rumors that he is a Muslim, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) took a bold step today to settle questions about his religious faith once and for all.

"I am converting to Judaism, effective immediately," Mr. Obama told reporters at...

Open Letter To Geraldine Ferraro: Please Keep Doing What You're Doing For Obama

Ryan Barrett

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...

Words Matter

James Zogby | Posted March 14, 2008 | Politics


James Zogby

U.S. media attention has been focused for days now on former Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro's racially divisive remarks about Senator Barack Obama's candidacy for president. On at least three occasions Ferraro has been quoted saying, "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he...
