My first thought on tonight’s debate is that all of our candidates were great. The format being more of a round-table worked very well after the rough and tumble bitter infighting that has plagued our front-runners in recent days.
Barack Obama admitted that he, ““not only in hindsight, but going forward,” regretted that members of his staff had [...]

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 [...]

In the past few hours I have been thinking a lot of a ground breaking book I read quite a few years ago on Women: Women Who Run With The Wolves.
I think, it’s time to pick it up and start reading it again and I suggest anyone who doesn’t get the women’s factor in this election read [...]

Last night I watched the coverage of the New Hampshire primary results on MSNBC. I listened as Chris Matthews said, “I give her a lot of personal credit; I will never underestimate Hillary Clinton again.” As he said that, I thought to myself, “yeah right.”
Well, “yeah right,” was right. As Greg Sargent points out today:

The pundits, pollsters and talking heads are tripping over each other trying to figure out how Hillary Clinton defied the polls and narrowly grabbed the win in the New Hampshire primary last night. Apparently there were quite a few factors that went into play including the women’s vote.

Building on posts from Pamela (here and here) and others, Gloria Steinem makes a devastating charge in this morning’s NYT, arguing that Women are Never the Front-Runners:
“But what worries me is that [Obama] is seen as unifying by his race while [Clinton] is seen as divisive by her sex.”What worries me is that she is [...]

I grew up on the Massachusetts - New Hampshire border and lived for 33 years years not far from where this incident happened today in Salem, NH. It’s just another sad statement on the treatment Hillary Clinton is getting that is, to be frank oh, so sexist:

Stuart posted the video below of Hillary Clinton’s tearful moment on the campaign trail in New Hampshire today. I got to say, I am just downright disgusted at the sexist spin over this. Downright disgusted. And what respect I had managed to muster for John Edwards message of late… well, that is down the tubes [...]

I received the press release below from Emily’s List a while ago. Reading through it, I was very impressed with the rather unprecedented effort they put into their GOTV effort for Hillary Clinton in Iowa particularly with women who had no history of caucus participation. This is a very important voting block that is so [...]
