When I want a bracing shot of pseudo-principled outrage, I normally turn to Republicans. But recently I found a Democratic source: Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who may vote for McCain.

Visibility is viability, and wouldn't it be great to have Meet the Press, the most prestigious and hard hitting show on the Sunday circuit, feature a woman host?

Hillary's run for the White House offered more than its share of triumphant, embarrassing, off-color, and off-key moments caught on tape and forwarded to millions across the country.

Hillary had worked so hard to build up an impenetrable wall of toughness around herself that she was afraid that a spread in Vogue would bring that crumbling down around her.

The former president's absence from Hillary's photo album brings the campaign full circle. So poor Bill, who has temporarily dropped from sight, sustained a double humiliation.

The message when the first woman to have a real shot at the presidency is consistently called shrill and cackling is that women should have no voice in the public arena and will be humiliated if they try to enter it.

If Clinton supports back McCain, they won't be loving they'll country, they'll be acting out of spite and bile for Hillary's loss.

Did you know that, in order to shield Americans from dead troops, the flag-draped caskets -- which are often flown in the cargo holds of commercial airliners -- are hidden in cardboard boxes? Do not put a man in the White House who will continue this insanity of a war.

It's tough for Obama supporters to look back on some of the work around here, I understand. But that's what happens in hard contests when you believe in different candidates.

The past four years have been a lesson in apathy for a kid who was 14 in 2004, when Obama gave that amazing convention speech. I see purple state now, all fifty. Not red and blue. Something has changed.

Obama's mother gave a precious gift to her son, the life of both an Americanand that of human being who feels at home in many different cultures, allowing to see the similarities between us all.

Pfleger has been thumbing his nose at authority -- secular and sacred -- for years in pursuit of what he believes God has called him to do: fight for the poor and oppressed.

Last night Hillary mirrored Nixon's famous and pathetic speech. In 1952 he told a national audience he was not a quitter and appealed to voters to help decide whether he should be the vice presidential candidate. "Wire and write," he said.

Simply put, this is the worst possible time for any Republican to be running for president, and Obama is the perfect candidate for Democrats, and a nightmare for McCain.
Beverly Davis | Posted 06.04.2008 | Home
The Hillary speech not only ignored Obama's historic win but was so laden with self-preservation and -aggrandizement it's clear that, although she is at the end of her candidacy, she is not done with her self-deluded power plays.

This week will be great fun to watch because the delegate arithmetic simply doesn't work after Tuesday. Then, the real Hillary will be revealed in one of two scenarios.

Categorizing Hillary as a victim of sexism shows there is nothing else to be said that cogently criticizes her qualifications, nothing of any substance that is assailable.

While Clinton's lost me on the character front, I still have issues with Obama in terms of overall electability come November 4th.
Frances Moore Lappe | Posted 05.29.2008 | Politics
But now that it's clear to virtually everyone that -- barring some catastrophic event -- Clinton will not be the nominee in 2008, her actions seem to make sense only as a 2012 strategy.

We don't need to distort the opposition or take umbrage at their every comment to win this election. If we just debate them upright on the issues, we will win.
