Indiana Lunch Break In the City Of Steel
In Gary, Ind., the City of Steel, a worker says he's voting Democrat. "Oh yeah, I want a job next year," he says... Obama never mentions the mills. Clinton, at least she seems interested."

The example of Howard Dean -- a losing candidate who just figured out another way to contribute, and significantly -- isn't a bad model to hold our candidates up against.

Our first task is to prove to swing voters that a vote for McCain is a vote for a Bush third term. Over and over we need to demonstrate why "if you liked Bush, you'll love McCain."

I made it to two of Bill Clinton's six separate town hall appearances saturday. He runs late, talks in detail, charismatically, and doesn't answer any questions from the crowd. Not a single one.

Were Hillary the great rural white savior that her campaign is depicting, she would have been able to dispatch a presidential neophyte like Barack Obama.

She started with a lead of almost 20 points. But her final margin of 9.2% fell far short of what was needed to stop Obama's nomination. Here's why.

At polling places in Chinatown, Philadelphia, there is a serious shortage of translators. Voters are becoming frustrated with the process and leaving without casting votes.

"She's a smart woman... Hillary is the one to lead us to gain the respect we have lost in the world. If Obama gets the nomination, I'm voting Republican." Problem she said was that Obama's an elitist.

It is true that both McCain and Obama have been trying to have it both ways on the public financing question. But the fault lays not so much with them as with Congress.

McSame McCain's "Green Straight Talk Express" is actually the "Dirty Energy Non-Action Machine," and, if elected, the differences between him and the current administration might be hard to find.

The problem for Clinton is that Obama is the furthest thing from an unpatriotic elitist, and that by relentlessly making these charges she has been raising her own negatives to dizzying heights.

"Bitter? No, why should I be bitter? I'm an American." That's how they were feeling after the Obama rally in Harrisburg, PA, today, the week of the primary. "Not Bitter, no. I'm reinvigorated!"

I've talked to a number of undecided Super Delegate Members of Congress who are furious at Hillary's willingness to attack the candidate who they consider almost certain to be the Democratic nominee.

Small town midwesterners are bitter because of the economic and trade policies championed by Bush and McCain.

Mark Penn's demotion is just a symptom of a broader organizational disease within the Clinton campaign.

I've been struck by network reporters' attempts to insert themselves into this story.

McCain can't get around the fact that his commitment to a long-term American presence in Iraq poisons our relationship with the rest of the world - our allies, the Third World and certainly the Muslim world.

Obama showed America that he is the guy you want answering the red phone at 3AM. But he also talked to Americans as adults, showing he trusted the voters.

In the end, the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination is about whether Democrats want to go back to the nineties, or forward into the future.

I had a nightmare about what happens if Clinton gets the nomination: Hillary Clinton gets John McCain elected president.

Not only is Obama the most electable Democratic candidate for president this fall, he's also the candidate that will help elect more Democrats to the House and Senate.

There's no conflict in war. No drama. Is that right? They don't speak English and there are no stars, no people who are household names, even Chavez.

The Clinton Campaign's post March 4th message is to forget about the delegate count and nominate Hillary because she can win the big states Democrats need in November.

Obama, the transcendent symbol, is more important than Obama, the progressive politician. I'm not young and I'm not idealistic, but I know hope when I see it.

Clinton's tone is anti-inspirational. A lecturing, scolding tone makes people feel un-empowered. People don't like to be lectured.
