Well… If John McCain was angling for the women’s vote with his choice of Sarah Palin as his VP, he may not get it after all. The first two national polls out since McCain’s pick was announced show “contrary to what the GOP probably hoped, she scored less well with women than men.”
Here’s a finding [...]

Now that our presidential nominees are set, the partisan battles in the media and online have shifted into general election mode.

This is tough to share with all my fellow Clinton supporters: ABC News reports that “Sen. Hillary Clinton will hold an event with supporters by Friday, likely ending her historic bid for the White House and ceding the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama.”

There’s a raging firestorm in the blogopshere over Hillary Clinton’s remarks made “Thursday, in a meeting with the editorial board of the the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.” As I noted below, Clinton has expressed regret for the statement.
Robert Kennedy Jr., who endorsed Hillary Clinton months ago, issued the following statement this evening (emphasis mine):

The Page notes that the media (citing a piece in the NY Times) is slanting towards Obama in his claim to be ready to claim the nomination:
Sunday’s NY Times: “If things continue to go as well for Mr. Obama this week as they have so far this month, with a romp in North Carolina, a [...]

Senator Ted Kennedy was hospitalized this morning after suffering from stroke like symptoms. He was rushed by ambulance and initially hospitalized at Cape Cod Hospital and then airlifted to Mass General in Boston.

The latest USA Today/Gallup poll published today shows that “Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama’s standing has been significantly damaged by the controversy over his former pastor,” and the issue raises “questions for some voters about the Illinois senator’s values, credibility and electability.”
The erosion of support among Democrats and independents raises the stakes in Tuesday’s Indiana and [...]
