Who's that Boxer in the Picture? (Hillary Clinton Rents a Negro*)

Logan Nakyanzi Pollard | Posted May 14, 2008 | Politics


Logan Nakyanzi Pollard

It's one of those things -- you might assume about the people standing behind the mic at a primary victory speech -- that they're local volunteers or supporters from region which voted.

So who's that black man with the boxing gloves who's appeared at least twice at Clinton's victory...

299 Superdelegates On The Wall...

Chris Weigant | Posted April 28, 2008 | Politics


Chris Weigant

299 superdelegates on the wall,
299 superdelegates.
If one of those superdelegates should happen to fall,
298 superdelegates on the wall.

My apologies. Whoever created the song "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" shares some of the blame (along with John Yoo) for redefining the word "torture" for the...

Clinton: Not Exactly The Great White Hope

Paul Jenkins | Posted April 26, 2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

Were Hillary Clinton the great rural white savior that her campaign is depicting, she would have had this thing wrapped up in, say, Iowa, or a couple of weeks after that. Her inability to dispatch a presidential neophyte such as Barack Obama in a Democratic primary is precisely because, after...

My Conversation with Congressman Rahm Emanuel

Charlie Rose | Posted April 24, 2008 | Politics


Charlie Rose Congressman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois is one of the powerful voices in the Democratic party today. As the Democratic Caucus Chair, he is the fourth-highest ranking member in the House Democratic leadership. He is also close to Senators Obama and Clinton but has not made an endorsement. I spoke with...

The New York Times is Wrong

Doug Schoen | Posted April 24, 2008 | Politics


Doug Schoen

Yesterday morning, the New York Times wrote an editorial widely decrying tactics used in the recently completed Pennsylvania primary. The article specifically focused on Hillary Clinton and her use of negative campaign tactics to undermine Senator Barack Obama in the waning days of that state's contest. The Times criticized...

What Happened (and didn't) In North Philly

Gene Koo | Posted April 24, 2008 | Off The Bus

At about 7:45pm on Pennsylvania's primary day, at the eastern edge of Hunting Park in northern North Philadelphia, I knocked on a voter's door with a last-minute reminder to get down to the polls only three blocks over. "You mean the voting is still open?" the woman asked. Yes,...

Post Hoc Ergo Shut Up Hoc

Ellis Weiner | Posted April 23, 2008 | Politics


Ellis Weiner

As we say in our latest book, How to Raise a Jewish Dog, "the argument that 'only Hillary can win the big states necessary to elect a Democrat' is entirely fallacious and absurd, and should be immediately shot in the head and then ushered off to an honorable retirement."

Hillary Clinton has, as expected, won the Pennsylvania primary, matching our pre-election polling exactly by garnering a 10-point victory. Now, let the analysis begin.

Let me start with the observation that Hillary Clinton did not...

Vote Demographics Spells Much Bigger Trouble for Obama than Pennsylvania Loss

Earl Ofari Hutchinson | Posted April 23, 2008 |


Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Barack Obama's decisive Pennsylvania loss to Hillary Clinton was predictable and inevitable. Obama pretty much confirmed that when he tossed in the towel and spent the crucial countdown hours to the primary vote at a fundraiser in Indiana. But the loss in that state is the least of Obama's troubles....

Dame Hillary Clinton: the Black Knight

Chip Collis | Posted April 23, 2008 | Off The Bus


Chip Collis

Just as with some infectious diseases, there are three sub-types of Clinton talking points. Type One is the regular, clearly partisan snottiness that constantly spews out of the mouths of people like Howard Wolfson and is spread by a host of surrogates with feverish eyes and fixed smiles. Type Two,...

Obama Camp: Using Popular Vote Metric Just Ain't Gonna Work

HuffingtonPost.com   |  Sam Stein   |   April 23, 2008 11:08 AM


As the Clinton campaign turns its focus towards securing the popular vote in the Democratic primary, the response from the Obama campaign has been, and will continue to be: these aren't the rules of the game. And on Wednesday morning,...

Pennsylvania & the Persistence of the Race Chasm

A few weeks ago, I published an article in In These Times showing how Hillary Clinton has been winning states almost exclusively in the Race Chasm - states whose populations are more than 6 percent...

Hillary Got The Whites-Who-Won't-Vote-Black Vote

John K. Wilson | Posted April 23, 2008 | Off The Bus


John K. Wilson

Hillary Clinton’s entire margin of victory in Pennsylvania was due to racist whites who openly opposed Barack Obama because he is black. According to the exit polls, 13% of the voters were whites who said that race was important to them in voting, and 74% of them voted for...
