Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are facing off in a one on one debate here in Los Angeles:
The economy is likely to dominate Thursday’s debate, as both candidates look to appeal to supporters of Edwards and his brand of economic populism.
Clinton and Obama have split victories in their parties’ early-voting states: Obama has won in Iowa [...]

There’s a lot of “stupid goddamn journalism” going around lately. Via Sadly No!:
Dear Dr. Atrios. I have a good Wanker of the Day nominee for you. His name is Jake Tapper and he’s (tragically) a senior national correspondent at ABC. He’s also apparently illiterate.
Go read all of Brad’s post on Sadly No!… He speaks for [...]

Does a younger population that wants to feel like they live in a young country elect an old warhawk for their leader? It would be bad enough in 2008 if McCain would not be the oldest President ever, but for him to promise to continue an experience of military adventurism that is unpopular in the [...]

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.
You see, the thing is, the main reason I put together this round-up, these days, is not so much for my own pleasure (narcissist, though I may be), but to give SSG Dizzy (currently serving his third [...]

We need to be as ambitious in envisioning political process integrity as John Edwards has been honest in talking about political process corruption.
For supporters of John Edwards, the end of his 2008 campaign for the presidency should not be spent in either deep gloom or false bravado. The future of the cause Edwards champions remains [...]

Today in Illinois, Bill Clinton was out en force as Hillary Clinton’s chief surrogate. He touted “his wife’s ideas on health care, the environment, the nation’s housing crisis, college tuition and the Iraq war, while also seeking to promote her as someone who could end partisan fighting in Washington—something Republicans readily dispute.” Bill’s presentation was [...]

The headline reads: Ralph Nader Flirts with Presidential Bid. I can’t help but wonder if he’s just not too old to flirt with anything. We saw what happened the last time he flirted with the presidency.
Just say No to Nader.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post has endorsed Barack Obama as the A.B.C. candidate — anybody but Clinton. Mind you they couldn’t find much merit to endorse Obama on, as they took a swipe at Hillary Clinton using those now famous, “let’s not go back to the past” talking points that team Obama and his surrogates have been bandying [...]

It has been my contention here that Hillary Clinton has displayed over and over again that her campaign is about the people. If you listen to Clinton speak, she reiterates through out her speeches that she’s listening to the people as she travels across the country. She’s listening, and she’s acting in her proposals on the [...]

Senator Ted Kennedy sent out an email appeal for donations for the Obama campaign today and also has a post on DKos and BarackObama.com about his endorsement of Barack Obama. While I have the utmost respect for Senator Kennedy and consider myself to be (as I have said here before) a life long Kennedy Democrat, I feel [...]

The most disturbing aspect of the sorry spectacle of President Bush’s last State Of The Union Address —his airbrushed rendering of his Mideast misadventure. Where it concerned the situation in Iraq the president’s address wasn’t any realistic accounting of the state of affairs. It was a delusional display of false premises and distorted fantasy.

John Edwards speech:

I wasn’t a John Edwards supporter, but today I feel a profound sense of sadness that he has made the choice to drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination.
His decision had to be tough for his entire family and I know Edwards supporters are deeply saddened. From the bottom of my [...]
