Everyone’s been looking for the Obama bounce in the polls. The Gallup Daily gives Obama a 6 point lead today:
The latest three-day Gallup Poll Daily tracking average (Aug. 25-27) is directly coincident with the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and is no doubt beginning to reflect the typical convention “bounce” [...]

I’ll quote Ezra Klein on Bill Clinton’s incredible speech tonight, because Ezra says it all in his opening paragraph:
He left little unsaid. For all the talk of Bill Clinton’s anger, his resentment, his grudges, Clinton took the stage tonight and threw the full weight of his prestige behind Barack Obama. Leveraging that peculiar credibility that [...]

Hillary Clinton will headline the 2nd night of the Democratic Convention, Aug. 26, which is in fact, “the 88th anniversary of the women’s right to vote.”
The campaign and convention committee in a statement called her “a champion for working families and one of the most effective and empathetic voices in the country today.”
Michelle Obama will be [...]

While the odds of an Obama/Clinton ticket seems to have dimmed in the last few days, my own opposition to this ticket is well-known. I believe a guest post by psychodrew at Taylor Marsh is, if not ‘definitive’, a least more detailed than most. The Case Against An Obama-Clinton Ticket

Now that Barack Obama is back in the U.S., after his whirlwind trip to the Middle East and Europe, he’s ready to start focusing on the “top issue for American voters — the faltering U.S. economy.”
That’s welcome news, because every one I speak to from friends to business associates are all concerned with economic issues. As [...]

This video was made to point out the idiocy of many marketing and branding campaigns. The unfortunate reality is that this video is all too true. Ever wonder how some of the truly boneheaded moves get made in the commercial world? Well, watch this and you’ll see how the same damn boneheaded moves get made [...]

Bill Clinton issued a short, to the point endorsement for Obama via his spokesman Matt McKenna today:
“President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States,” McKenna said.
The Swamp notes that the Obama camp was not “specific when [...]

The Clinton campaign told CNN that “6,000 people signed up on the New York senator’s Web site to attend the speech.” Here we go…
I couldn’t get the sound to work on HillaryClinton.com, so I missed the beginning of Hillary’s speech. Watching on C-Span now:
“I ask all of you to join me in working as hard [...]

Bill Clinton said Sunday, “I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running..” Well, just when you thought the Clinton bashing couldn’t go any lower… Joan Walsh explains (emphasis mine) on Salon:
The world is divided between people who consider Bill and Hillary Clinton monsters, and people who don’t. It used to be [...]
