As a supporter of Barack Obama (and donor), it is hard for me to bring up issues that will damage his chances of election this year. But the truth is more important than politics, as Obama's former pastor hinted at in his speech to the National Press Club this week....

Obama Tells Woman "I Don't Want You To Think I'm Getting Fresh"

Huffinton Post/CNN | April 10, 2008 03:04 PM

Barack Obama appeared to have a bit of an awkward moment when his pants started vibrating during a campaign stop. The Senator was quick to point out he wasn't being "fresh." Last week the pool report picked up on Obama...

Obama Campaign In Pennsylvania: A Tale Of Two Levittowns

Gene Koo | Posted April 8, 2008 | Off The Bus

I got my first overtly racist anti-Obama comment today while phoning central Pennsylvania. It was a 62-year-old man, who said, simply, "I'm not voting for the black man." I moved to end the call, but he continued, "I've worked with hundreds of black people." He meant that as a defense...

Barack Obama's campaign tossed around nearly $600 at Tiffany's last month - for a trinket that remains a secret. Obama's team tapped his flush campaign bank account to pay the $572.25 tab at the famed jeweler last month, recently released...

We, The O-Boomers

Marc Cooper | Posted March 21, 2008 | Off The Bus

Obama's speech on race this week came at the precise moment when I'd been mulling over his appeal to my generation of boomers. It's been somewhat staggering for me to encounter the number of close friends of my own '60s-generation cohort who, in the past few weeks, have been rather...

The Math

Read More: Clinton, Delegates, Math, Nomination, Obama, Obama Campaign, Superdelegates

The Clinton folks would like you to believe that the Democratic Presidential nomination is still up for grabs, and that they're running a good-faith campaign for the nomination rather than a rule-or-ruin attempt to make sure that John McCain defeats Barack Obama in November.

But do the math....

Donors Shift Support From Clinton To Obama

McClatchy | Greg Gordon | March 3, 2008 08:56 PM

Last September, Gina Jorasch recruited friends to attend a California fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, mugged for a photo with the New York senator, wrote her a $1,000 campaign check and came away convinced that Clinton would be a ``fantastic'' president....

Ohio Polls: Obama Tied With Clinton

Beverly Davis | Posted March 1, 2008 | Off The Bus

Outspending, out-spinning, and most important, out-organizing the Clinton campaign, Senator Obama has nearly pulled even with Senator Clinton in Ohio.

According to a Reuters/C-Span/Houston Chronicle poll released on Friday, Obama trails Clinton 44 percent to 42 percent, within the 3.8 percent margin of error, making this...

Eddie Izzard -- Unwitting Advocate For Obama's Educational Proposals

I was at the Union Square theatre Thursday night watching Eddie Izzard open his 10-day run in New York. He's the most intelligent and funniest standup comedian/philosopher/historian working. Izzard is also unwittingly an Obama proponent.

Senator Obama makes a big point of telling us that we not only...

Although there are fifteen state primaries to go, the air is thick with what feels a lot like an Obama victory. The string of consecutive contests he's won and the sometimes shocking margins (64-35% in Virginia? 68-31% in Washington??) by which he's defeated Hillary Clinton smell a lot like a...

The news media's long-awaited scrubbing of Barack Obama's concrete plans for governing has begun and, not surprisingly, it doesn't take long. The Democratic presidential contender's famously inspirational speeches offer little sustenance for wonks.

Obama's supporters and advisers refer pesky policy inquiries to the campaign website, but it is difficult to...

Like most of us, I have been impressed and energized by the way in which the Obama "movement" has inspired young people, independents and the skeptical, drawing back into politics many who seemed weary of their citizenship. In a country where only a bare majority vote in Presidential elections (far...

Relations between Sen. Barack Obama and Fox News Channel haven't exactly been warm since the Illinois Democrat began his presidential campaign. A year ago, the cable-news leader pounced on a scurrilous report (since debunked) that Obama attended a radical Islamist...
