Barack Obama faces outright racism and admits it’s part of his fight. Hillary Clinton faced sexism, most obviously in broadcast [...]

The proposed program would allow FHA to help troubled borrowers reduce their interest rates if the actual lenders went along with a cut in the principal amount of the loan.
This is in the lenders best interest because in a majority of circumstances the fair market value of the home no longer offers security for the [...]

I don’t believe a 4 delegate victory, or some similar number, at the convention is a real victory for either Hillary Clinton or the Party. While I have been a die-hard Clinton supporter for just 6 months, I’ve come to believe she is by far the best qualified to lead this nation.
That said, we must [...]

I never thought that I would see the day that the Democratic Party would even think of reducing the power of the vote of Democrats in two states. I thought one man, one vote was a basic Democratic principle.
If you are not watching CNN or MSNBC’s live coverage it’s fact filled. You can watch the [...]

As we discussed earlier today, Obama is finally getting some detailed Traditional Media attention. The WSJ says today:

On 6-17-2005, I was already dismayed enough by the increasingly angry disagreements within the Progressive Blogsphere that I wrote an article about effective persuasion, communication and it’s impact on campaigns at my old blog The Political Dogfight. I also recorded a more detailed view in a 10 minute audio that was published at my audio [...]

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, [...]
