You've got to ask yourself -- why is this the only story that has leaked in this fashion from the transition team?

In a campaign whose rallying cry was "change", shifting the status of women in this country by bringing them fully to the tables of power would be a great place to start.

With the election in the air, there are many things we've forgotten to remember. But Oscar Elias Biscet isn't one of them because, sadly, we never remembered the good Doctor Biscet in the first place.

Thank you John McCain for picking a woman who represents the worst-case scenario.

No matter how you receive your daily dose of everyday information, intelligent or dubious, if it's in print form, it's your responsibility to make certain it doesn't wind up in a landfill.

Obama will probably win this election, but only by the skin of his teeth. Let's face it: Obama is not the transformational candidate we liberals had hoped for.

Today, I want to look fondly back at a moment before the bruising ugliness of this general election; indeed, a moment before even the tensions between...

I am a Democrat but actually found the old McCain palatable once upon a time...where in the hell did the real John McCain go?
Rob Stafford | Posted 09.01.2008 | Politics
If Palin gets some traction, it's simple. We let Joe Biden and Hillary bust her up. Will some people accuse us of being bullies, of picking on a girl? -- yes, they will. I call those folks "Republicans."

GOP nominee's pick is the best since Kennedy picked LBJ - but for totally different reasons Slap me silly and call me stupid, but John McCain is on h...

Today the nation adjourned the final meeting with Stephanie Tubbs Jones, 58, who died earlier this month of a massive brain aneurysm.

The site of the Clinton Watch Party had once been a cemetery, a fact surely unconsidered by the event's planners, and unintentionally symbolic for a group of supporters who wanted to see their candidate's chances resurrected,

Hillary's 40-person whip team, which spent the week tamping down on dissent within her delegate ranks, had a brilliant plan to thwart dissent in the convention hall Tuesday night.
Michelle Bart | Posted 08.27.2008 | Politics
Words cannot express how I'm feeling after watching Hillary Clinton carry her speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention. What an example...

Maybe the Democrats, including Hillary's own most ardent supporters, will find winning health care reform a good enough reason to unite behind Obama.
Chris Weigant | Posted 08.27.2008 | Politics
Hillary made the case she needed to make to her supporters who were still sitting on the fence, and she did it perfectly, in a speech for the ages.

"If you were at the California delegation this morning, you saw me with a gag in my mouth. That is because I was not permitted to either speak to the California delegation, even though I am a Hillary delegate, nor were the Hillary delegates permitted to have a meeting with each other."
Jon Raymond | Posted 08.26.2008 | Home
The real reason voters might go over to McCain is the animosity coming from the Obama people, the people who idolize a leader who "treats people with dignity and respect," as Michelle Obama put it.

Don't buy into the media narrative that this is some sort of "divided party" -- because today's Democrats aren't. All true Democrats are pulling hard to defeat the legacy of George W. Bush.
Mayhill Fowler | Posted 08.08.2008 | Home
Last year, Hillary was reigning over the summer debates, shoring up claims to inevitability. Today she's stumping for Barack in Nevada, where it's 110 degrees in the shade. What a difference a summer makes.

Politically, this would give both the Clintons a personal stake in the race, and would go a long way towards healing the wounds inflicted in the primaries on both sides.
John Tomasic | Posted 08.01.2008 | Home
"We do not want any Democrat, either in the hall or in the stadium or at home, walking away saying Well, you know, I'm just not satisfied. I'm not happy. Because that's what I'm trying to avoid."
Jackson Williams | Posted 07.25.2008 | Politics
The final piece to the puzzle may well be adding Clinton's populist economic message to Obama's call for "change we can believe in."
Ellis Weiner | Posted 07.14.2008 | Politics
When I want a bracing shot of pseudo-principled outrage, I normally turn to Republicans. But recently I found a Democratic source: Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who may vote for McCain.
