Paul Jenkins | Posted 03.02.2008 | Politics

Clinton Campaigning As She Would Govern

Paul Jenkins | Posted 02.22.2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

It is mind-boggling that the Clinton campaign could have failed to understand the importance of two key factors: the yearning for change, and the distaste for the street-fighting brutality that is the Clintons' trademark.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

An Obama White House will be a historic first. But it will be a White House that keeps a firm, cautious and conciliatory eye on mid-America public opinion.

The Clinton Health Care Fallacy

Paul Jenkins | Posted 02.12.2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

Clinton isn't really for universal health care, or she would be advocating a socialized system not unlike Canada's, Great Britain's, or France's: free and accessible medical care.

Dorothy Bendel

Has our inability to demand answers on Iraq given officials a free pass? Have we surrendered to the idea that we must endure this catastrophe until the next president takes office?

A Mormon on a Weather Vane
