Obama on the Brink

Robert Scheer | Posted 07.23.2008 | Politics

Both candidates are embracing, rather than challenging, the fundamental irrationality of Bush's "war on terror," which substitutes hysteria for rational analysis in appraising the dangers the country faces.

McCain is being squeezed on both sides in his home state. Obama now leads there by 3 points in a new statewide poll. The poll also shows Bob Barr garnering 16 percent among "very conservative" voters.

The 269-269 Electoral Tie Scenario

Chris Weigant | Posted 06.11.2008 | Politics

Dawn Teo | Posted 06.08.2008 | Home

Obama's army goes deep behind enemy lines in the West. He and Dean are determined to compete in red states as a matter of strategy, forcing McCain to spend money and resources on his own turf.

For a significant portion of the mainstream media and blogosphere, the woman could have stood on her head and pledged undying love for Obama, and the reaction would have been the same.

Meanwhile In McCainland... A Whole Lot Of Nothing

Dawn Teo | Posted 06.05.2008 | Home


Dawn Teo

We're talking McCain's home state of 30 years-- there must be events, I thought, a troupe of highly motivated supporters making battle plans? But No, McCain HQ in Virginia told me there was absolutely nothing happening in Arizona.

Kennedy's death came when the world was on the cusp of transformation -- between authoritarian societies and social and political justice. Much of that change was stalled in the US for decades to come.

Clinton Did Not Steal Obama's Moment

Dawn Teo | Posted 06.04.2008 | Home


Dawn Teo

I can't listen to another pundit imploring that Clinton "needs time" or that she needs to go through the stages of grief or that she needs to be allowed to come to terms with her loss. This primary, this election, this year is not about Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton Doesn't Deserve to Be President

Evan Handler | Posted 05.12.2008 | Politics


Evan Handler

The problem with Clinton's campaign techniques is not just that they're Rovian, and reminiscent of earlier Republican smears against other candidates. It's that they're pointless.
