In an article talking about Tuesday’s race, the Boston Globe decides to talk to one single “liberal blogger” to gauge the feel of the entire blogosphere: Liberal blogs are loaded with complaints about Obama and demands that the president move to the left. During the campaign, “they energized enthusiasm among people who were really jazzed […]
The big news yesterday was this “private” remark from Harry Reid, which appears on page 37 of Game Change encouragement of Obama was unequivocal. He was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama — a “light-skinned” African American “with […]
When Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs split with the right, it sent shockwaves through the blogosphere. Now it looks like some of those wingnuts are actually going to the extreme: In Johnson’s mind, he has not really changed but merely shifted his focus. Where once he was preoccupied with national security, staking out a […]
Things are getting pretty tense in GOP land: ABC News’ Aaron Katersky and Rick Klein report: RNC Chairman Michael Steele is lashing out his critics, with a series of blunt messages for prominent Republicans who have blasted him over his leadership for the Republican Party. “I tell them to get a life.

While many on the left side of the blogosphere seemed to enjoy Chuck Todd, I have never liked him. I don’t believe he is the “political insight machine” that so many credit him with and here is more proof of it: John Cole, who caught this little tweet of <cough> brilliance from Todd, says this: […]
Greg Sargent believes so: Whatever you think of Media Matters, there’s no denying that the group led a campaign against Dobbs that had to have played some kind of role in his departure. CNN president Jonathan Klein reportedly told Dobbs months ago that he wanted Dobbs to tone down his opinions. It’s hard to imagine […]
