As the NY Times reports today, Hillary Clinton is fighting on despite last night’s results which have deflated some of her momentum.
Highlighting the difficulties Mrs. Clinton has had in financing her high-spending battle against Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, officials from her campaign disclosed on Wednesday that she had lent her campaign […]

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 […]

The NY Times bemoans the negativity in the primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in an editorial today. They claim:
Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work.
But voters turned out in Pennsylvania in droves yesterday, as they have across the country in every contest:
At […]

I’ve been laying low today, once again playing catch up with business and rest. Ah, yes rest… Something I never get enough of. Suffice to say running a small business and a blog keeps me very busy and rarely take much time for myself. That said, here’s the Weekend Reading List:
The Gallup Daily shows a Clinton […]

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.

If you were expecting anything other than a big win for Obama in South Carolina today, you weren’t paying attention:

There is something to be said for the healing properties of a little music, a lot of laughter, and excellent company. I’m still not a hundred percent, but I am feeling much better today than yesterday.
I’ve got two more nights of partying working ahead of me, so I should be feeling completely gang-busters by Sunday.
I […]
