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 […]

Apparently, Hillary Clinton’s website has been down since Tuesday night:

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 […]

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.  Whatever leads to the most inconclusive, meaningless, expected, drag-this-out-another-month result is exactly what will happen.  […]

Ever since Bitter-gate broke last month, I’ve been trying to figure out how the media could knowingly side with Hillary Clinton and John McCain– two Washington lifers, both worth at least $100 million– in painting a black man raised by a single mother on food stamps who a little over a decade ago was making […]

The usually even-handed Domenico Montanaro from First Read sees the sky falling for Barack Obama in a recent national poll:
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 […]

This might very seriously be the best YouTube video I’ve ever seen. The Howard Dean and Bill Richardson cameos are hilarious:

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 […]

To be fair to Clinton, this is probably the first time she’s had to make coffee for herself in decades. So, you know, cut her some slack. How the heck is anybody supposed to do anything with no staff assistants around?

If this week has proven nothing else, it’s that distancing himself completely from Jeremiah Wright really should have been the first thing Barack Obama did after he decided to run for president. This is one instance where Hillary Clinton’s instinct (throwing people under the bus the second they become a political liability) would have […]

John McCain’s latest line of attack on Barack Obama, regarding Obama’s peripheral association with William Ayers:
I think not only a repudiation, but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people.
The phrase “unrepentant terrorist” in reference to Ayers has been repeated ad nauseum by McCain and surrogates […]

A little advice to Barack Obama and his campaign: Stop talking about delegates.  The delegate race is over.  You won.  Which, to people who know what they’re talking about, means you’ve won the nomination.  But unfortunately, people who know what they’re talking about are a small minority in America.  There is, in fact, a great majority of people who […]

This is not so much a note to the superdelegates, who have made clear that they absolutely will not be caught dead doing what it is they were designed to do: saving their party from internal annihilation.  This is a note to voters– the great unwashed masses who seem to be the last thing standing between us and […]

I’m feeling especially annoyed tonight, and it has nothing to do with who won or who lost.  It’s because once again in this race we get the most meaningless result possible.  As it stands right now, Clinton is set to take Pennsylvania by 10 points.  That deafening sound you hear is the whoosh of absolutely […]
