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

Psychoanalyzing the media elite’s elite double standard

May 5th, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]

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 […]

Hillary Clinton: Not ready to make coffee on Day One

April 30th, 2008 · No Comments

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?

Obama camp needs to push back hard against Clinton’s popular vote myth

April 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

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 […]

Note to Democrats: End it

April 24th, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]

Officially annoyed with the Democratic race

April 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]

Pennsylvania prediction: Clinton will win the battle but lose the war

April 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Hillary Clinton may win Pennsylvania by double digits– as her campaign has been hoping– but as this article from CQ Politics points out, it won’t matter:
And a CQ Politics analysis of the political circumstances in Pennsylvania’s congressional districts, detailed below, projects an edge to Clinton — but by just 53 district-level delegates to 50 for Obama […]

Hillary Clinton: If I’m president, we will attack Iran

April 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Doesn’t get much clearer than this:
I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president we will attack Iran.  In the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.
I’d love to see the full context of this quote, which we […]

Clinton campaign learns nothing from Bosnia disaster, denies Hillary ever said “Screw ‘em”

April 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Not that there even is a right way, but this strikes me as the wrong way to deal with Hillary’s “Screw ‘em” comment regarding white working class Democrats:
Asked about the 1995 quote, which was recalled by three then-advisers to President Clinton, spokesman Phil Singer offered the names of two Clinton aides who had also been […]

The potential backlash in Pennsylvania

April 17th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m not going to say Barack Obama has a chance to win Pennsylvania.  He doesn’t.  But I can’t imagine anything making a stronger case for his campaign theme of moving beyond old school Washington politics than the ABC News debate last night.  I’m guessing that for every undecided voter who watched that debate and came away […]
