Everyone knows this has been a long, difficult primary season. We know we are tired of some of the repetition and constant newsmaking. But have you thought of the impact on both staff and both candidates?
From today’s WaPo:
“After nearly six months on the road, sleeping in hotels, herding an unruly press corps onto buses, and [...]

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, [...]

Of all of the many reasons to support a Democrat for President of the U.S. in 2008, one of the most vital is to start to bring to a close the reckless bloodbath that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and friends opened up in Iraq. From the safety of our homes we only know the starkest [...]

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 [...]

It has been my contention here that Hillary Clinton has displayed over and over again that her campaign is about the people. If you listen to Clinton speak, she reiterates through out her speeches that she’s listening to the people as she travels across the country. She’s listening, and she’s acting in her proposals on the [...]

Senator Ted Kennedy sent out an email appeal for donations for the Obama campaign today and also has a post on DKos and BarackObama.com about his endorsement of Barack Obama. While I have the utmost respect for Senator Kennedy and consider myself to be (as I have said here before) a life long Kennedy Democrat, I feel [...]

Ronald Reagan being a man of deeper parts than we thought at the time, had three great public talents. Barrack Obama has only two.
1. RR was a great speaker. He was eloquent when needed and direct when required. He would decide what to say and do it, mostly with grace.
2. RR had the ability to [...]

The most intriguing part of the State of the Union Address for me was watching the Kansas Governor audition for the second spot on the Obama ticket. The main lesson I took from the entire experience, however, is that Obama is playing a dangerous game by creating expectations that he almost certainly cannot deliver on.

Today was a big day for Barack Obama’s campaign to bring “change we can believe in,” as Ted Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy and Patrick Kennedy took to the stage at American University to endorse Obama.
It was reported that “before the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Kennedy had planned to stay out of the race,” but Kennedy became increasingly [...]

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 [...]
