Clinton Wins Nevada Caucuses

All of the major news outlets have called the Democratic Nevada caucuses for Hillary Clinton.  Romney took the win in the Republican caucuses.
CBS News entrance polls shoed that “nearly half of Democratic caucus-goers said the economy was their most important issue, while one in four cited health care and 22 percent cited the Iraq war.” [...]

Giuliani Uses Images of 9/11 In New Campaign Ad

Olbermann on Rudy Giuliani’s use of 9/11 images in a new campaign ad as he struggles to make a last ditch effort for his failing campaign:

Yes She Can!

Late yesterday afternoon I received an email from the Clinton campaign about attending an event here with Hillary Clinton in the San Fernando Valley (Northridge). Having missed the last event here in SoCal, I welcomed the opportunity to attend, because as I have said here many times, I am particularly interested in the issue of [...]

Off To A Clinton Campaign Event

I’m on the run today… heading out to Clinton campaign event here in the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles).
I haven’t been out to see any of the candidates speak as of yet, mostly due to a lack of time or interest. As I reported here a few weeks ago, I did try to get a [...]

Nevada Caucus Concerns

There’s a few stories circulating about the Nevada caucuses that are of interest today. On The Fix, Chris Cillizza noted that Obama aide David Plouffe called him today and said Hillary Clinton “should be considered the “prohibitive favorite” in Nevada due to her strong support within the state party establishment and her large lead in [...]

Huckabee: Vote For Me and I’ll Amend the Constitution to to Reflect God’s Standards

Mike Huckabee was on the stump in Michigan pimping for the support of the evangelicals last night. Huckabee told voters he would amend the Constitution to “reflect God’s standards.” Watch this clip:
This guy is a real threat to our basic rights under the Constitution and I don’t think we should under estimate the sway he may [...]

Michigan Democrats for Romney

Too funny:
There’s more on Michigan and the Republican primary race here.

Be A Dem For A Day?

Oops… One over zealous Barack Obama precinct captain kinda sorta went overboard in Nevada. Tacky. At least he owned up to it. In the light of this, folks are wondering things like, “what is going on these days with Obama” and if “Obama is a fighter for Obama” rather than for “the Democratic Party or [...]

99 Problems But A Bitch Ain’t One??

There’s some controversy over whether this is true or not, that an after victory party for Obama was blaring Jay-Z’s 99 Problems, but apparently as both Taylor Marsh and Politico point out, the Obama camp has not called for a retraction and they were given days to confirm or deny. The story from The New York Post is that as [...]
