Hilary Clinton

I found myself riveted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.'s speech at the National Press Club yesterday and even more so by the immediate effect it had on Barack Obama's polls. I feel heart sick and appalled.

Like most of America, no matter what side of the political spectrum you're...

Last week's debate proved something startling about this country as it was like watching Maury Povich and Dr. Phil perform a tag-team divorce in which the winner got custody of America. Yes, America, the fat kid on the playground that's been stealing your lunch money but tells you it's for...

(A draft of a concession speech being readied by the Clinton campaign has been obtained by this writer, the speech being held by the campaign for possible later use.)

"My fellow Americans, my loyal supporters, I thank you all deeply for your steadfast encouragement during this hard-fought campaign. I want...

Something has been nagging me about Chelsea Clinton's Lewinsky moment at Butler University. As we all know by now from the infinite news loop, a young man asked her if her mother's credibility had been damaged during the Monica Lewinsky scandal - as in dad was getting busy with interns...

I never thought we missed much when America was denied the Vice-Presidency of Geraldine Ferraro, but now I know I was wrong. Recently, the feisty former New York City Congresswoman and Mondale running mate had this to say in an interview with the Daily Breeze: "If Obama was a white...

Hillary Clinton's latest game - when she's not busy saying that Barack Obama isn't a Muslim "as far as I know" - is tantalizing supporters with the idea that Obama could wind up as her vice-presidential choice on a so-called Dream Ticket.

It's a genius strategy: Democrats, forced to choose...

Clinton and Obama duke it out today in Ohio and Texas, and there are questions over what Clinton will do if her candidacy continues to falter. For Democrats or Independents still undecided between the two, a report on 60 Minutes Sunday offers some telling data; Steve Kroft's segment captures...

I don't know when Hillary Clinton and her advisors started channeling Karl Rove, but it's happened and it's ugly. If you want to stop them from tearing the Democratic Party apart, then get on the phones today and volunteer to turn out the Obama vote in Ohio, Texas, Rhode...

Living in Washington, DC, you can throw a rock and hit someone with a more insightful political mind than mine. The closest I ever came to real time politics was the night both Ted Kennedy and I made back-to-back toasts at a friend's wedding. For what it's worth, my toast...
