I’m busy… busy… busy today, but I wanted to make sure that readers get on over to HillaryClinton.com and donate today before the fundraising deadline. Here’s the email that Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe just sent out:
Dear Friend,
Time is running out! There are just a few short hours left before our big fundraising deadline, and every [...]

Maybe everybody be me knows this already: As I was researching superdelegates to write them letters to vote for Hillary, I was surprised to learn that the Democratic leader of the Florida senate proposed a primary date which was within the DNC rules, but the Republican majority in the Florida senate turned it down and [...]

To me, Obama is one the most cynical politicians I’ve ever come across. The “Mitt Romney” of the Democrats, if you will. The last paragraph of this article doesn’t make me trust Obama any more (h/t commenter at Corrente):
“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright [...]

I don’t know if the electorate are really bitter or not, but today’s Ten Post Round-Up will probably leave a grimy taste in your mouth:
1: So it seems that the only people that benefit from your college education is the college and the banks that issue student loans…
America’s Most Overrated Product: the [...]

Hillary Clinton accepted a key endorsement from N.C. Governor Mike Easley on T. Kicking off his endorsement, Easley said:
“This lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy. There’s nothing I love more than a strong powerful woman.”
Move over Rocky… This is a key endorsement of a Superdelegate in N.C. (who previously endorsed John Edwards) that [...]

“I know thee not, old man: Fall to thy Prayers:
How ill white haires become a Foole, and Jester?
I have long dream’d of such a kinde of man,
So surfeit-swell’d, so old, and so prophane:
But being awake, I do despise my dreame.” - Henry IV Part 2
There is certainly no shortage of commentary on the recent statements [...]

Good gracious… The hits just keep coming for Barack Obama…
Enter Al Sharpton who has accused Obama “of trying to “grandstand in front of white people,”” because Obama “made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict.”
During what a source described as a “heated” phone call yesterday, Sharpton told Obama he was [...]

Barack Obama climbed out from under the bus, Reverend Jeremiah Wright threw him under yesterday and stood up today and did what he should have done weeks ago… He denounced his former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the “substance of his remarks yesterday.”
It was a show of major damage control today as Obama said:
“I have [...]

One thing that has bothered me throughout this election has been anti-Hillary people referring to Hillary Clinton as “Mrs. Bill”. It was clearly meant to demean her accomplishments and very reminiscent of the Matthews-esque nonsense that Hillary only got where she did because of Monica. (That particularly bothers me because I think Hillary will be [...]

Sometimes it’s hard to believe in the “benevolent brotherhood of man”. Today’s Ten Post Round-Up will probably not make it any easier:
1: The Supremes say it’s OK to require government-issued photo ID card in order to vote…
As Election Nears, Supreme Court Upholds Repressive Voter ID Law–AlterNet
2: The Secret Service rampant [...]

Jeremiah Wright has thrown Barack Obama under the bus and he has stepped on the gas. The consensus is in — whatever Wright’s motive, this doesn’t look good for Obama.
Here’s some of the opinions around the news and the sphere:
Joan Walsh on Salon: I was wrong about Wright
I regret that I hedged my observation about [...]
