Kentucky Bible Belt Patchwork Politics

R.T. Eby | Posted 06.19.2008 | Home

Just above the buckle of the Bible Belt lie Simpson and Allen Counties. The demographics of the two counties are nearly indistinguishable. Except that one is Republican and the other Democratic.

No Longer Staring Into the Abyss of an Obama-Clinton Ticket

Paul Jenkins | Posted 05.25.2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

Clinton's increasingly desperate quest to show something for her decades of campaigning has taken on a vaguely insane turn, for which we should be grateful, even as it makes us queasy.

Barack Obama and the Unmaking of the Democratic Party

Sean Wilentz | Posted 05.23.2008 | Politics


Sean Wilentz

The Obama campaign and its sympathizers have begun to articulate what they mean by their vague slogan of "change" -- nothing less than usurping the historic Democratic Party, by rejecting its historic electoral core.

Matthew Palevsky

One might have thought that the Wright scandal would have extinguished Obama's rumored connection to Islam. Instead, it has only strengthened the spurious claims about his faith.

Clinton Gave Voters Permission to be Racist

Cenk Uygur

Normally the race issue is a third rail in American politics; you're not allowed to touch it. But Clinton did two important things to change that paradigm.

Richard Gizbert

There is something extraordinary occurring in American politics, and the nonchalant media coverage of a seismic event, such as what happened in Portland, ought not to mask that.

It's Over. But Let's Just Hope We're Only Talking About the Democratic Nomination

Andy Ostroy | Posted 05.21.2008 | Politics


Andy Ostroy

The simple truth is that America is still quite a racist country. I'm not so sure Obama can overturn centuries of deep-rooted racism in just five months.

In the VIP line at the rally were those who had caucused for Edwards, Kucinich, Richardson, Biden and Dodd. There were Iowans for all the Democratic candidates. Except one. And there were no Republicans.

A Question For Democratic Primary Voters: What Is The Value Of Higher Education?

Thomas de Zengotita | Posted 05.20.2008 | Politics


Thomas de Zengotita

These primaries seem to be a clash between those who didn't go to college and those who did. Parents who didn't go very often want their kids to -- who will then turn into Obama types.

John McCain "can't win" if he's seen as "the Bush third term" -- this, from a Republican?

The "welcome back" rally scheduled for Tuesday in Des Moines is a thank you to the white working class voters who catapulted him to the front of the race and gave Clinton her first taste of defeat.

Bill Clinton to Rural W. Va.: "I'd Rather Be Here with You" -- Really? When Was His Last Visit?

Paul Abrams | Posted 05.11.2008 | Politics


Paul Abrams

The Obama campaign might suggest to the citizens in rural West Virginia that the candidate treating them like manipulable children, not worthy of the truth, is Hillary Clinton.

What Should Obama Do In West Virginia and Kentucky?

David Roberts | Posted 05.11.2008 | Politics


David Roberts

He could defy conventional wisdom by treating rural white voters like adults, helping them plan a real path to economic health and sustainability rather than telling them fairy tales about coal.

Bubba's not just in Ohio and Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky. He's not just Southern white trash. He's in every socio-economic class. Scratch his politically correct veneer and have a look-see.
