You know what was funny about John MyFriend’s latest meltdown yesterday on the plane with reporters? Not that he lost his temper, as much as what he was saying was a fabrication.
NEW ORLEANS — Senator John McCain fielded a question at a public forum on Friday morning in Atlanta that he said he had never [...]

I hope last night’s Democratic debate was the last one. Ever. I can stands so much till I can stands no more. But it really has become, as the Times notes this morning, a parody. A parody of a parody, complete with idiotic questions, followed by the attendant “insight” of the MSM pooh-bahs who have [...]

What a helluva weekend Barack Obama had, sweeping Louisiana, Washington, Nebraska and the Maine caucuses, and besting Bill Clinton for a Grammy Award last night (spoken word). With news that Hillary Clinton “swung the ax,” firing her campaign chair and replacing her with a longtime aide, it would seem Obama was on his way to [...]

Just below Stuart has a post explaining how he’s gone over to the Clinton camp. I thought I’d post a similar explanation on how I’ve gone over to Obama’s camp, and cast my vote for him here in Georgia today (and thank you, Pamela, for encouraging dissenting voices on the Dem Daily).
First, this isn’t really [...]

Once again, the most prescient comments from last night’s coverage of the Republican primary in Florida came from the more conservative analysts, Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough. As it became clear John McCain was going to win, Buchanan and Scarborough had this exchange:
JS: “There is no way conservatives are going to rally and turn out [...]

I don’t watch Dan Abrams as much as I should, but I caught his opening segment last night, and the dude absolutely nailed why this entire alleged “Racial Row” between the Clinton and Obama camps is nothing but a fabricated story, completely generated by big-Washington media, designed to sell soap and bump ratings.
For another case [...]

Wow. I’m not completely surprised by this email from John Kerry (and I’m sure Pamela will have the details), but it is newsworthy.
“Dear Todd,
“Martin Luther King said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” So I’m choosing this time to share an important decision I’ve made, one I believe is right [...]

This is getting ridiculous, the idea that voters told pollsters (anonymously) they would vote for Barack Obama, an African-American, for president, only to turn racist once they went into the voting booth (anonymously) and pulled the lever for a white woman instead.
Also known as the “Bradley Effect”, this phenomenon says that white voters will lie [...]

Remember my recap the other day regarding polling in the Dem race? And the only poll out there showing Clinton would win came from Suffolk University?
* Suffolk University : Clinton 35%, Obama 33%, Edwards 14%
“But as Carpetbagger notes, “Come Wednesday morning, the pollsters at Suffolk University are going to look remarkably good or embarrassingly bad.”
Looks [...]

Pamela’s already mentioned Tweety Mathew’s stupid comments from this morning. I just wanted to chime in with some thoughts in general about how, across the board last night, MSNBC was full of morons and nincompoops who got it so wrong regarding the Democratic vote in New Hampshire, it defied belief.
I tuned in around 8ish and [...]

Building on posts from Pamela (here and here) and others, Gloria Steinem makes a devastating charge in this morning’s NYT, arguing that Women are Never the Front-Runners:
“But what worries me is that [Obama] is seen as unifying by his race while [Clinton] is seen as divisive by her sex.”What worries me is that she is [...]

Great story in today’s WaPo on LBJ’s failed attempt to enlist the help of the Pope to end the conflict in Vietnam, as played out over the days leading up to Christmas, 1967.
“Air Force One roared into the air at noon on Dec. 19, 1967, carrying Lyndon Baines Johnson on a secret mission. The Vietnam [...]
