I’m not entirely sure that there is any political leverage to be gained by an endorsement this late in the game. Instead, John Edward’s endorsement of Obama can be seen more as a confirmation that, despite her wins yesterday, Hillary is not going to be the parties nominee. I expect we will see an endorsement [...]
Of all the qualifications that one could have to lead this nation, why is it that we seem to keep coming back to the question of who you would want to have a beer with? Talking Points Memo has a quote today from Terry McAuliffe on Hillary’s recent photo op putting back a shot.
McAuliffe, asked [...]
A video has just surfaced of Clinton adviser Mickey Kantor sharing his candid views on the good voters of Indiana. It fills in more of the picture of a Clinton camp filled with people who feel it’s her turn to be our next President. Though the video is years old, it says a lot about [...]

Slow Joe has brought us quite a few, shall we say, special moments in his political career. None has been quite so special as his decision to run as an independent after loosing the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont.

John McCain won election to the US Senate in 1986. Since then he [...]
In the latest chapter of our continuing chronicle of the primary election that threatens to tear apart the Democratic Party, we finally hear from the head of the DNC, Howard Dean. Dean made clear his desire to see the nomination fight come to an end before the convention.
“I think it would be nice to have [...]
Joe Klein is pushing a disturbing solution to the current Democratic nomination fight. Ignore the voters and pick Al Gore. I must say, there’s something highly distasteful about rejecting the will of every primary voter. I sincerely hope that the results of contested primaries will be the only thing that determines who takes on John [...]
