WashPo releases a must-read story on the many unreported incidents of racism inflicted on Obama campaign volunteers:
For all the hope and excitement Obama’s candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed — and unreported — this election […]

Defeating Clintons one of the great moments in black history
May 7th, 2008 · No Comments
Live-blogging the North Carolina and Indiana primaries last night, Andrew Sullivan rightly credited African-American voters for ultimately taking down the Clintons:
No group was more loyal to them than African-Americans; and in the end, like everyone else, African-Americans realized that the Clintons are frauds, disloyal to the core, cynical to their finger-tips, and finally, finally, returned […]

North Carolina and Indiana Democratic primary predictions
May 5th, 2008 · No Comments
This is the quickest and easiest prediction I’ve ever had to make, and it’s because I figured out after Pennsylvania how to call these things. These Democratic primaries have nothing to do with analysis or momentum. Here’s how it works.

Psychoanalyzing the media elite’s elite double standard
May 5th, 2008 · No Comments

A new USA Today/Gallup poll out today is disastrous for Obama. He now trails Clinton by seven points and trails her by five on the question of who would be the more electable nominee. A Clinton […]

Hillary Clinton’s Kentucky Derby pick finishes second and dies
May 4th, 2008 · No Comments
Via Halperin:
Hillary Clinton enthusiastically picked a filly named Eight Belles to win the Kentucky Derby and compared herself to the horse. Eight Belles finished second. The winner was the favorite, Big Brown. Eight Belles collapsed immediately after crossing the finish line, and was euthanized shortly thereafter.
Is it just me or does Hillary seem to have […]
