Marc Ambinder takes a look at the ‘”Democratic activists” who are “accusing Hillary Clinton of undermining Barack Obama, the party’s most likely presidential nominee” and he finds that Obama and his campaign have “added as much acid to the conversation as Clinton.” Ambinder is right, Obama and his campaign have added plenty of acid to the conversation.

Late Night: NBC’s Chuck Todd Says Calls for Hillary to Drop Out Are Premature
What’s this? A pundit that is making some sense? Shhh… Don’t tell the Obama camp what Chuck Todd is saying.

For some reason, it’s hard for some on the left to understand what ticks me off about FL and MI and why, if the voters from those states are ignored, I will have a hard time maintaining allegiance to the Party I have worked so hard for over the last several years. I’ve helped...
The Best Guide We Have
With all the bickering about whether Hillary Clinton should stay in the race for the nomination or drop out, at least there a some pundits who are willing to compare Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the issues and show who the stronger policy leader is of the two. Paul Krugman reminds us today in his column ”that it’s important to take a hard look at what candidates say about policy.” He’s right. After suffering through nearly 8 years of...
