Reality Has Well-Known Obama Bias

Cenk Uygur | Posted May 7, 2008 | Politics


Cenk Uygur

You have to give Hillary Clinton's team credit for one thing: they have masterfully played the perception game. It might have been all smoke and mirrors, but they have done their job of keeping people confused and distracted them from what really matters.

The reality is that: 1. She has...

So, Hillary, Obama Can't Win? Tell Me... Who Won Texas?

Steven G. Brant | Posted April 3, 2008 | Politics


Steven G. Brant

George Stephanopoulos of ABC News has broken the news that when Bill Richardson called Hillary Clinton to tell her he'd be endorsing Barack Obama, Hillary emphatically said "Barack Obama cannot win, Bill. He cannot win.".

So, Hillary's case is no longer just that she's the best person to be...

Delegate Battle In Lone Star State Continues Post-Primary

Deanie Mills | Posted March 18, 2008 | Off The Bus


Deanie Mills

According to the Dallas Morning News, Barack Obama has won the Texas caucus, with 38 convention delegates, and though he lost the popular-vote count to Clinton (65 to 61 delegates), the combined total (including superdelegates) gives Obama 109 to Clinton's 106 delegates and thus, a win in Texas after...

Clinton or Obama? Does the Media Have Nothing Better To Do Than Make Headlines With No Real Basis?

Michael Russnow | Posted March 10, 2008 | Media


Michael Russnow

Last Tuesday, Hillary Clinton reversed her political slide, which had been greased by so many in the Media who gave disproportionate import to the primaries and caucuses Barack Obama won in the days following Super Tuesday. Last Wednesday's headlines gave some begrudging indication -- almost a harumph -- that she'd...

Why Clinton Won Texas, And What That Means Going Forward

Mayhill Fowler | Posted March 7, 2008 | Off The Bus


Mayhill Fowler

Hillary, the Virgin and Saint Ann. Is this a Renaissance altarpiece in a Catholic Church? No, this is a distillation of the Clinton win in Texas. Forget all that chatter about Clinton's appearances on SNL and Jon Stewart, about NAFTA-gate and the red phone. These were peripheral, at best, to...

On The Ground At One Precinct in San Antonio, TX

Jacqueline Cotrell | Posted March 6, 2008 | Off The Bus


The news this morning is all about Sen. Clinton's win in Texas. Estimates are that Latino voter turnout contributed to about 2/3 of the votes that she got in the primary, and if the precinct that I visited is any indication she got the same proportion in the caucuses. I...

Denver's Road Now Open to All -- With an Express Lane for Florida and Michigan

Carl Jeffers | Posted March 6, 2008 | Politics


Carl Jeffers

Ohio and Texas have spoken, and what they said is that the road to Denver cannot be a single lane express drive for just one vehicle with no road blocks or toll stops to revalidate the trip. The Obama bus was on that express drive, and the voters said let's...

Clinton Picks Up Momentum Post-Ohio And Texas

Daniel Nichanian | Posted March 6, 2008 | Off The Bus


Daniel Nichanian

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 Clinton's rise outside of Ohio and Texas, suggesting that her improved stance was not just related to her campaigning in those two states and that Democratic...

Will Hillary Clinton Have the Last Laugh in Spite of the Media? Or Will the Super Delegates Pull a Surprise?

Michael Russnow | Posted March 5, 2008 | Media


Michael Russnow

I'm not a Hillary Clinton superfan, although I voted for her against Obama in California because my preferred candidates John Edwards and Joseph Biden had already dropped out.

I previously wrote a piece suggesting that Al Gore enter the race, as someone who has already been chosen by the American...

She Stoops to Conquer

Beth Broderick | Posted March 5, 2008 | Politics


Beth Broderick

Girl rage ...it's all the rage. Hillary Clinton and her supporters have won exactly 10 delegates by assaulting their opponent with the kind of tactics that warm Karl Rove's heart. Ah the sweet victory of vitriol. These folks really will say anything, do anything to win and that is why...

Inside A Chaotic Texas Caucus

Last nite we caucused with a minimal amount of cussing. At my polling place there were at least 500 standing in line in 40-degree weather at a fairly large Baptist church. Very exciting for long-suffering Texas Democrats and nice to see so many...

Working the Refs

Rory O'Connor | Posted March 5, 2008 | Politics


Rory O'Connor

There's a clever, effective technique often employed by coaches in the National Basketball Association, used to gain a subtle but demonstrable edge in close games, known as "working the refs." In essence, it involves endless and bitter complaints about your opponents' supposed advantages -- to your own future advantage. Aggressively...

Close Contest Is Jackpot For Dems

Jeffrey Feldman | Posted March 5, 2008 | Politics


Jeffrey Feldman

Now that Hillary Clinton has finally taken some primary wins--3 of 4 (OH, TX, RI) in yesterday's 'Special Tuesday' (not quite 'super')--the pressure to spin bad results shifts from her to Barack Obama.  So far, the keyword in the Obama spin seems to be 'dangerous,' as in : 'it is...

How Winning A Coin Toss Made Me An Obama Delegate

Deanie Mills | Posted March 5, 2008 | Off The Bus


Deanie Mills

I vote in the middle of a cotton field.

Yeah, I know! It sounds crazy, doesn't it? But it's true.

When you live in a remote rural area like the wilds of West Texas, you have voting centers put up in the weirdest places...

Hillary: The New Huckabee

Dylan Loewe | Posted March 5, 2008 | Politics


Dylan Loewe

Hillary's wins yesterday in Texas and Ohio breathed new life into her campaign. Basking in the glow of fresh momentum, Hillary did six morning show appearances today, and will continue to try to shape the story as a brand new race.

But Hillary's spin, and the media adoption of that...

A Night at the Texas Caucus: Hurry Up And Wait

Mayhill Fowler | Posted March 5, 2008 | Off The Bus


Mayhill Fowler

It was a waiting room in Limbo, act three of Jean Paul Sartre play. Most the four hundred in the cafeteria had fallen into resignation, if not coma. Grown men rested their heads on the trestle tables and slept. Fathers cradled children on their laps. Cadres of women--mothers and daughters,...

The More Things Don't Change, the Less They Stay the Same

Robert Schlesinger | Posted March 5, 2008 | Politics


Robert Schlesinger

As a practical matter, last night's primary results changed very little: Barack Obama has a pledged delegate lead that is almost insurmountable (thanks to TPM for the link).

But politics can be as much about atmospherics as practical realities, and the new story line spinning out of the results...

Hillary's Road To Nowhere (via Florida & Michigan?)

Nathaniel Bach | Posted March 5, 2008 | Off The Bus


Nathaniel Bach

The story lines and spin coming out of yesterday's semi-super Tuesday are enough to make your head, well... spin. The Clinton camp would have us believe that the results in Ohio and Texas fundamentally altered the trajectory of the primary, while the Obama team would have us believe that yesterday...

It's Still Over, But At What Cost?

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted March 5, 2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Despite Hillary Clinton's three victories tonight in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, Barack Obama (who won Vermont) is still positioned to capture the Democratic nomination. But Obama has to now overcome the John McCain-Hillary Clinton slash and burn politics to accomplish this goal.

In the remaining primaries Hillary must...

The Race Goes On -- And Gets Uglier

McClatchy/NBC News   |   March 5, 2008 01:55 AM


"Now it could get ugly," McClatchy reports in its Tuesday night wrap-up. Hillary Clinton's victories in Ohio and Rhode Island aren't enough to turn the tide and overtake Barack Obama, who still leads in delegates needed to win the Democratic...
