It’s a little more than a week before the presidential election, and I’m worried about what happens afterwards. I’m not worried about the candidates, the people, or the country. I’m worried about the media.

A lot of people are asking why Hillary Clinton’s supporters, like myself are sticking with her. There’s a multitude of reasons why and for many those reasons are personal.

“If it wasn’t for Ohio John Kerry would be president.” How many times have we heard that, even more than a year later? I recently did an analysis of Dem and GOP vote percent totals dating back to 1944. The good news: only a couple of democrat candidates actually got a higher [...]

Congratulations to all in New Jersey and Virginia. You fought hard, you stuck by progressive principles, you won and you deserve it. It was a good day to be a part of the party of the people. Still, one sad fact does remain: There are 28 GOP governors but only [...]
