How many words I can fit into the subject line for this post? Aren't you curious too? Is it 100? Or 1000? Could it be 10,000? Could it be 1,000,000? It seems like the title of this post can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on. This is really s

New Clinton Endorsement Today: Me
Recently I read a TPM blog post that put the entire race in perspective and I had an "aha!" moment of enlightenment. The blog could be summarized like this: Hillary will win. Definitely. (I'm paraphrasing)As I drank my morning coffee it began...more »

Indiana: where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?
I can see the future and it scares me. May 6th is fast approaching and it is probably our last real chance for a clean end to the kidney stone that is the Democratic primary. We could finally end the pain...more »

North Carolina: overview of the delegates, the primary, the politics, and the likely results on May 6th
The primary has finally (painfully) reached my home state of North Carolina. It is the single largest delegate state remaining and most experts believe (and the polling has indicated) that it'll be a win for Obama. A North Carolina overview:...more »

Monica-gate and the superdelegates: How Bill's impeachment is relevant in the election
Here's an interesting post from Jake Tapper at ABC News' Political Punch. I've been thinking along the same lines and considering the question: how would the impeachment/Monica episode be addressed if Hillary is the nominee? Tapper's post is titled "On Chelsea,...more »

Bill's impeachment: The scandal that dare not speak its name (full post)
Let me start by saying that Bill Clinton should never have been impeached. It was a vast right wing conspiracy and in my opinion there were not high crimes committed. But let’s all also admit that he did tarnish the office and lied...more »

I hope that the TPM staff framed that beautiful little email and have it hanging at TPM headquarters.

Dole has been pretty non-existent in North Carolina and has certainly lost her status as a beloved icon. At the same time, there's no way I'd bet against her right now. It's certainly going to be interesting how she relates herself to Bush and to McCain in her campaign.
Hagen needs to get some quality people around her. Her primary campaign was a mess from the start. She was acting as if she wasn't really that hungry to win and that's got to change.

It's sad but not surprising. I imagine after WV next week we'll be hearing about how her comeback has started.
If she's held on for this long, why not hold on a little longer. Why admit defeat?
It doesn't really matter. On to McCain.

And what would we all be saying if John McCain went on national television and said that he thinks it's important that he has the support of hard working white Americans?
If this race wasn't over this would be a huge gaffe...but since it's over the MSM is going to let it pass.

I think a lot of the electoral arguements from the Clinton camp are being made with respect to the old electoral map: Florida, Ohio, PA, MO, New Hampshire...
This is the map the Democrats keep losing. (yes old Bill Clinton would have lost it too if it weren't for Ross Perot)
Obama draws a new electoral map, and while he will probably have more trouble with lower income, less educated whites in the midwest, he's also going to greatly expand the states that are competitive. With Obama we're going to see VA, NC, NM, NV, CO.
Expanding the electoral map plays right into the hands of a well funded campaign with a strong volunteer base.

Freakin hilarious G...nice work.
I'm glad you had some time to do this while hard working Americans, white Americans, were at their jobs trying to earn an actual living. I'm sure it was tough for you though in between shopping for a new pair of birkenstocks and getting your latte refilled.
