The Daily Kos yesterday noticed that in an attack ad that ran in Ohio last weekend, the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately darkened and widened a photo of Barack Obama, in what Kos called “a concerted effort by Clinton’s ad people to make Obama look darker, more sinister, and with a wider nose.”  When initially reached for [...]

I for one support CNN’s editorial decision to research this important matter further.  And it was an especially good move to ask the opinion of a man who believes that Hurricane Katrina was caused by gay pride parades and the Catholic Church is “the great whore.” Coming next week to CNN: Is Barack Obama the reincarnated soul of [...]

Usually I wait until the day before or the day of to make primary predictions, and usually that works out pretty well.  But seeing as how I grew up in Pennsylvania and lived there for most of my life, I’m going to go ahead and say what my gut is telling me about the upcoming [...]

For anyone who’s still not convinced that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is a lost cause, check out Slate’s enormously fun delegate calculator, which will likely surpass the Nintendo Wii in sales this upcoming holiday season.  It’s not perfect– delegate totals are just as dependent on where the votes are coming from as how many– but it still gives a [...]

As of 1:00am, Hillary Clinton has won in both Ohio and Rhode Island and is holding a small lead in Texas, thus likely decimating my near-perfect prediction record.  You have to give her credit.  Who else could have lost 11 straight contests over a span of four weeks– never coming closer than 15 points in any of them– only to [...]

After more than a year of some of the most intense campaigning in American history, the race for the Democratic nomination between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama could very well be decided today by the voters in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont.  Several people within the Clinton campaign, including President Clinton himself, have either hinted [...]

In last night’s 60 Minutes interview, Steve Kroft questioned Hillary Clinton about the smear campaign against Barack Obama’s faith.  When asked repeatedly if she believed that Obama was a Muslim, Clinton used a number of phrases that made it seem like her denial was based more on a lack of evidence rather than a sincere belief that [...]

Far be it from me to criticize another blogger, cause God knows the level of stupidity that goes on around here.  But a post yesterday at Althouse goes so far above and beyond that I can’t let it go. In a post titled “Why are the letters ‘NIG’ on the child’s pajama’s?” Althouse accuses the Clinton [...]

Jack Nicholson fuses some of his greatest movie hits together with campaign talking points for Hillary (the last clip is great): And will.i.am gives “Obama thinks he’s the messiah” critics even more ammunition with this near-gospel music video sequel to last month’s Yes We Can phenomenon.  A lot more celebrities, a lot more Spanish, a lot less Obama:

Several people have noticed a difference between Barack Obama’s handling of Louis Farrakhan with his handling last year of Donnie McClurkin, the pastor who made a number of controversial statements about homosexuality.  When pressed about McClurkin’s support last October, Obama said this: One of the things that always comes up in presidential campaigns is, if you’ve got multiple supporters [...]

(h/t: warner) There is a pattern emerging in right-wing circles: Combining any slander against Barack Obama, no matter how ridiculous, with a picture of him dressed in African clothing.  Because who else would wear African clothing but Marxists, Communists, anti-Semites, undercover Muslims, terrorist sympathizers, blame America firsters, or people who don’t support the troops? This week, it was the picture [...]
