Potential Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Is it a masterstroke by President-elect Obama? A mousetrap for the Clintons? Is it even happening at all?

On the critical issue of government's role, Democrats do not have a mandate. Rather, they have a chance to make their case.

Barack Obama's election proves that by doing the right thing, Lyndon B. Johnson and his party ultimately got their reward.

Even if helping Obama means more to Rahm Emanuel than his personal political career, he can do more for Barack by staying in the House.

Today I signed and mailed my Florida absentee ballot for this historic election.

A truly successful Obama administration will not only succeed legislatively, but strengthen the Democratic Party moving forward. These two goals are obviously closely linked.

We need a landslide. If 80 percent of the population think the country is on the wrong track, why can't we have an election where 80 percent vote for Barack and 20 for McCain?

By Stephen C. Rose Presidents defy categorization by their decisions. Which renders exceedingly silly the idea that it makes a real difference whic...

The dramatic drive to move forward as a nation enables a black man to be chosen tonight as one of the two major party candidates for president, something unthinkable less than half a century ago.

Tears of nostalgia filled my eyes Monday evening, watching Caroline and Ted Kennedy open the Democratic National Convention in Denver. It reminded me ...

Barack Obama has gone back on his word, Barack Obama is a hypocrite ... I couldn't be happier. Truth is, if what's necessary to win in November is some outright cheating, I'd be all for that, too.

In memory of its creator, I think it is high time we understand that the 1964 Daisy ad was not about being negative but rather truthful.

This guy will be tough come November. His Appalachian tour is brilliant politics and offers nothing of substance that would actually help the heartland constituency that might vote for him.

It's becoming clear that Obama needs to do a better job speaking to the kind of voter once condescendingly described as a "regular person."

While some will suggest that Sen. Hillary Clinton's New Hampshire victory can be traced to her emotional comments shortly before the primary, and othe...

The Tears are now officially an issue in Campaign 2008. Obama's national campaign co-chair, Jesse Jackson, Jr., just went on MSNBC and appeared to qu...

Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) presidential campaign is raising contributions at the rate of $1 million a day so far this year, campaign manager David P...
