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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
