Thomas Sowell, a right-wing American economist, has released an interesting take on Barack Obama and the Jeremiah Wright conflict. He contends that Obama is actually far, far to the left of center and is closer to Wright’s views than many of us think.
I don’t agree, but it is an interpretation of events [...]

Recently, a lot of stories have been coming forward about so-called ‘pledged’ delegates switching allegiances in the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary contest. First, there have been many reports of delegates switching from Clinton to Obama since Super Tuesday, the most famous being John Lewis (D-GA).

But, what exactly does that mean? According to Spencer Ackerman, Barack Obama plans to embark on one [...]

By now, you have probably heard all of the major candidates exaggerate their importance or nuance a position. They all stretch the truth; after all, they are politicians.
Stretching the truth is one thing. Lying is another altogether. In order to make the case for her foreign policy credentials, Hillary Clinton has been [...]
