Make no mistake about it… Hillary Clinton is still “in to win.”
She told supporters tonight in Charleston, West Virginia: “I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign. I am in this race because I believe I am the strongest candidate. … I can lead this party to victory in the general election if […]

If you haven’t read Elizabeth Edwards OP/ED in the NY Times on the media’s role in this election cycle it’s a must read: Bowling 1, Health Care 0. I highly agree with Edwards’ closing paragraph:
If voters want a vibrant, vigorous press, apparently we will have to demand it. Not by screaming out our windows as […]

For everyone who thinks still that Barack Obama doesn’t play old school politics here’s a new flash…
Alice Palmer, the former Illinois state senator who hand picked “Obama to be her successor back in the mid-90s” won’t be campaigning for Obama in Indiana. Instead she’s campaigning for Hillary Clinton:

In one of the best moves of the campaign, AP reports that Hillary Clinton , in just the last hour, while in South Bend, Indiana, challenged Barack Obama to a open ‘mano a mano’ debate. Styled after the most substantive debates of all time, the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, […]

I’m sick of politics. I’m sick of the ugly commentary from pundits and the whiners on the blogs.
What’s “Fair Is Fair” — right? It should be but it’s not if you are Hillary Clinton.
Wake me when it’s over. I’ve had enough.

In May 2005, Vanity Fair published a brilliant article about the ‘04 election and the Republican Noise Machine, by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – The Disinformation Society.
I was thinking about what Obama said on Face The Nation today that “he didn’t expect immunity from Republican attacks, but could diffuse them with his message of unity and capacity to […]

There’s a lot of “stupid goddamn journalism” going around lately. Via Sadly No!:
Dear Dr. Atrios. I have a good Wanker of the Day nominee for you. His name is Jake Tapper and he’s (tragically) a senior national correspondent at ABC. He’s also apparently illiterate.
Go read all of Brad’s post on Sadly No!… He speaks for […]

We need to be as ambitious in envisioning political process integrity as John Edwards has been honest in talking about political process corruption.
For supporters of John Edwards, the end of his 2008 campaign for the presidency should not be spent in either deep gloom or false bravado. The future of the cause Edwards champions remains […]

Well there you have it… This just in from The Page: “The Snub” Before “The Snub”
Sources: Senior Obama staffers rejected proposal for their candidate to sit with Clinton at State of the Union.
Leading Democrats wanted rivals to sit together for the sake of party unity.
Clinton was willing, but Obama chose to sit with newly-minted supporter […]

Obama’s snub of Hillary Clinton at last night’s SOTU address is certainly making the rounds in news and the blogs today, as predicted, including USA Today’s On Politics quoting my headline from last night:
Pamela Leavey at the liberal blog The Democratic Daily headlined her report on all this “Mr. Unity turns his back on opponent […]

Hillary Clinton was in Hartford, Connecticut today, speaking at a rally there about the economy and Bush’s SOTU speech tonight. A clip of the speech is below:
It struck me listening to the clip from her speech and then reading the transcript, that Hillary Clinton’s politics are not politics of the past, as Ted Kennedy […]

The recent flap over Barack Obama’s comments on Ronald Reagan speaks volumes about what distinguishes our three democratic presidential candidates. But what it says is not complementary to either Obama or Clinton. Instead, once again, it shows us that John Edwards is the real candidate all Democrats should support.
Obama’s Intent
When Obama described Reagan’s Republican Party […]
