Welcome To The Ground War
As an Obama Organizing Fellow, I'm going to experience first-hand what it's like to be on the ground for the quintessential 21st-century presidential campaign. And I'll be blogging about it here!

Hillary has deluded people into thinking her chances of winning the nomination were improving as they were getting dramatically worse.

With Pennsylvania six weeks away, the media had to spike our interest by equalizing Hillary's big state victories by conning us into thinking that Wyoming and Mississippi are akin to Ohio and Texas.

My questions for ABC News and George Stephanopoulos is: Where are your reporters getting their information? Last weekend's newspapers?

It is easy to see why Democrats want the race to continue despite the risks of bitterness and use of funds and resources while the Republicans regroup. And that leads us to the controversy over Florida and Michigan.

It's hard not to attribute Clinton's three-state sweep to an 11th hour change of heart in a media establishment she had accused of unfairly scrutinizing her while playing softball with Obama. It's not a new allegation, but last week it gained some long sought traction

The racism in Ohio was already in place, but Hillary Clinton's negative campaigning brought it into play to a greater degree than in other states.

Monday's polls hinted at a Clinton comeback in Ohio and in Texas, which prepared us for what came yesterday night. Now, surveys are registering Clinto...

I'm really tired that the media doesn't take the trouble to put the charges through a filter to measure their actual veracity and significance.
Beth Broderick | Posted 03.05.2008 | Politics
For the first time in recent history, it will be mankind over political machine. Hillary did not lose because she is a woman. She lost because she did not believe this was possible.

By mocking the media, quoting Saturday Night Live, and "practically browbeating reporters," Hillary's campaign lived to fight another day.

lived there. Twice. I know from Ohio. What I now believe to be true is that: "As Ohio goes, no longer goes the nation."

Voters are looking for big ideas much more than the typically cautious, incremental change at the margins that is usually offered up at campaign time.
Jeffrey Feldman | Posted 03.05.2008 | Politics
This contest-that-never-ends has given Democrats everywhere a chance to stand up, speak out, and feel that their voices really matter in precarious times. It will keep paying off until the convention.

There is nothing to celebrate in the way Clinton won last night. A ringing phone at 3AM, accusations of being a Muslim, and mocking the power of words to achieve what?
Gloria Feldt | Posted 03.05.2008 | Politics
I might be super sappy, having cut my teeth in grassroots Texas politics three eventful decades ago, but I do believe both candidates keep getting better at their game.

Hillary's spin, and the media adoption of that spin, will do little to change a stark reality this morning: Hillary Clinton cannot win the Democratic nomination.
Robert Schlesinger | Posted 03.05.2008 | Politics
The new story line spinning out of the results cannot change the hard math, but it will affect the coverage the three major presidential aspirants get over the next few weeks.

Tim Russert seems apoplectic with joy that this will be going on 'til June. Wow. This campaign is never-ending.

If the Obama camp plays its cards right, it should be able to make some serious political hay out of any effort by Clinton to reopen the Michigan/Florida debate.

Obama is still positioned to capture the Democratic nomination, but he has to now overcome the John McCain-Hillary Clinton slash and burn politics to accomplish this goal.
