Sarah Palin never banned any books from her local library. But she did look into the matter- with the backing of her church- and fired a librarian that was shocked Palin would ask about such a thing (the librarian was rehired after a public outcry). There’s an implication that if there hadn’t been an outcry [...]

John Kerry was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos today talking about McCain picking Sarah Palin as his VP. Kerry responded to a question from Stephanopoulos about whether he thought the Palin pick would help McCain garner support from women who supported Clinton. As always, Kerry was on the money… calling the pick “insulting to [...]

If you are confused by the choice of a person who has very little political experience and no national experience, join the crowd. If you said, “Sarah who? Who the hell is she?” Join the crowd. Let’s flesh out a little bit of history of Sarah Palin.
A former beauty queen ( no kidding), she is [...]

Apparently some die-hard Clinton supporters see Palin as an option. Make no mistake about it, Palin is no Hillary Clinton on women’s issues. Here’s the statement from Ellen R. Malcolm, President of EMILY’s List on Senator McCain choosing Governor Palin (emphasis mine):
“How ironic that, on his 72nd birthday, McCain has raised the question of whether [...]

Jeralyn posted an “An Open letter to Hillary Clinton Supporters” on TalkLeft today that is a must read for all those Clinton supporters still threatening to vote for McCain or a third party candidate.
Here’s some excerpts:

CNN reports today that Barack Obama’s campaign said “that the details of a potentially contentious roll call had finally been hammered out after weeks of discussion with aides to Hillary Clinton.”
The New York senator’s supporters had successfully pressed for her name to be placed in nomination in Denver, and party leaders had feared that the [...]

Senator Hillary Clinton wants her delegates to have a voice at the upcoming Democratic Convention… And rightly so. Like all candidates before her, who have fought a hard primary battle and have had committed supporters and delegates, Clinton wants her supporters to be heard. It’s not unusual… And yet, for some reason, it seems that some [...]

In all the publicity about the ‘veep’ list, a few names continue to surface other then Hillary Clinton. We’ve heard about Tim Kaine (BTW: who the hell is he?), Evan Bayh, a couple of Republicans (screw ‘em) and then the one other name that keeps popping up: Joe Biden.
My personal take is that Joe Biden [...]

Matt Yglesis has a post expanding the poll from the Pew Hispanic Center, that I posted about here the other day. Yglesis says:
Back during the primaries, everyone kept formally admitting that it was wrong to engage in the form of inference “candidate X lost group A in a primary, and therefore he’s likely to lose group [...]
