Especially when things like this are being said: The third-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives and one of the country’s most influential African-American leaders sharply criticized former President Bill Clinton this afternoon for what he called Mr. Clinton’s “bizarre” conduct during the Democratic primary campaign. Representative James E. Clyburn, an undeclared superdelegate from South […]
Jenna Bush told Larry King last night that she might not support John McCain and left open the possibility of supporting either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. I am waiting for the wingnuts to attack her now.
It looks like ABC’s poorly handled debate might have made an impact on the decision: The North Carolina Democratic Party has dropped plans for an April 27 debate, which would have been moderated by CBS’s Katie Couric. Clinton had agreed to the debate; Obama did not, and the party said in a statement that the […]
Her campaign is massive debt: Barack Obama began the month of April with a 5-1 cash advantage over a debt-saddled Hillary Rodham Clinton, setting the stage for his lopsided spending in the crucial primary state of Pennsylvania. Financial reports filed Sunday by the Democratic presidential candidates with the Federal Election Commission show Clinton had $10.3 […]
This is the biggest margin to date for Obama. I guess the pundits blew it again. It seems that the “bitter” comment isn’t hurting Obama, like they all claimed it would. As matter of fact, the AP is finding out that there isn’t much impact at all: Yes, some Democrats in Pennsylvania’s Rust Belt communities […]
April Fool’s: Senator Hillary Clinton’s lead in the Pennsylvania Primary is shrinking. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Barack Obama by just five percentage points, 47% to 42%.

Reuters nails it on the head: Somebody forgot to tell Hillary Clinton the Democratic presidential race is over and Barack Obama won. It’s good to see the media no longer buying the “they pick on me” meme Hillary was trying to put out there. If Hillary wants to come out of this looking good, then […]
First the wrong: On the Democratic side, it’s somewhat disappointing that Barack Obama, whose campaign has understandably made a point of contrasting his early opposition to the Iraq war with Hillary Clinton’s initial support, has tried to score a twofer by suggesting that the war, in addition to all its other costs, is responsible for […]
And the subject will be race: Barack Obama will give a major speech on “the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he told reporters in Monaca, PA just now. He was pressed there, as he has been at recent appearances, on statements by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. “I am going to be talking […]
So they will give us another one: Democratic Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton plan to debate in Philadelphia next month before Pennsylvania’s primary, their presidential campaigns said Thursday. ABC News will host the debate on a date still to be determined. Pennsylvania voters go to the polls April 22 for the primary, a […]
