(updated and bumped) Howard Fineman on MSNBC just said that he heard that from top officials in the Clinton campaign. Their goal is now to end up maybe 25-30 pledged delegates behind Obama, after the primary season has ended, and win the super delegates over. Fineman also said that is a pipe dream to come […]
Sean writes about Clinton: So why is it OK for her to dismiss his wins in states with large black voter participation? Because that is exactly what she is effing doing. That isn’t the Democratic party I am a member of, that is the Southern Democratic party of the 1950s and 60s, which I wouldn’t […]

Swept into power […]
Today’s New York Times has an article explaining how torture became a method of interrogation for this administration: When the Justice Department publicly declared torture “abhorrent†in a legal opinion in December 2004, the Bush administration appeared to have abandoned its assertion of nearly unlimited presidential authority to order brutal interrogations.

Harry Reid and Tom Collins have released the letter they sent to FOX regarding the decision. TPMCafe has the full letter, but here is the money quote: To say the least, this was not a […]
CHEAT! A recently distributed guide for Republican poll watchers in Maryland spells out how to aggressively challenge the credentials of voters and urges these volunteers to tell election judges they could face jail time if a challenge is ignored.
