Taylor Marsh has warned of the destructive impact an anti-Obama vote among supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) could have for Sen. Barack Obama. While it remains to be seen whether obnoxious Obama supporters caused this problem or whether Clinton herself is to blame for the divided party, the fact remains, this could [...]

The title comes from a post on the Carpetbagger Report by Steve Benen. He argues that, with the primary season over, anyone pro-choice has got to dislike John McCain’s stances on the issue. However, he quotes quasi-Libertarian Froma Harrop as saying:
“A big sticking point for wavering Democrats will be McCain’s position on reproductive [...]

Eighteen million votes: $212 million. Some 1,926 delegates: $109,823 a pop. Blowing the biggest head start in presidential history: priceless.

Here’s the story:
Hillary Clinton will abandon her White House bid at the end of the week and throw her support [...]

I have been reading Hillary Rodham Clinton’s biography by Carl Bernstein entitled “A Woman in Charge.” The book has been very effective in terms of allowing me a more nuanced view of HRC after I started to become disappointed with her campaign tactics. As a result, I tend to ascribe largely positive motives [...]

My god, it just occurred to me: Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to be Vice-President just in case. Now, I get it. It just clicked in when I was reading the blog “The Moderate Voice.” In the post entitled Short-Circuiting Clinton? Pelosi, Reid, Dean Give Superdelegates Friday Decision Deadline, it says:
“While newspapers around [...]
