the difference is that when the Republicans want something to be an issue they all get on TV and don't stop talking about it until it becomes a big issue, when Democrats want something to be an issue, they whine that the media isn't covering it.

This is similar to Schumer's statement that Obama should be hitting back at the price of McCain's shoes and things like that, why doesn't he and all his buddies get on TV and start doing just that, rather than whining that it isn't being done

It is stunningly obvious that the Clinton campaign did not have a grasp on how proportional representation worked in practice. they didn't realize that what matters more than the size of the state is the size of the margin of victory. Obama took a bigger delegate haul from Georgia than she did with her solid win in California, and his wins in numerous small states were worth more delegates than her wins in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

How could any knowledgable person, much less the senior strategist for the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination rely on polls taken a year before an election, when you barely even know who you'll be running against and what events will transpire, as a reliable method to devise a strategy. It is hard to take this guy seriously

Has anyone noticed that Hillary said last night that she said something that she "knew not to be the truth." Isn't it even slightly newsworthy that she admitted she lied about Bosnia. I can't recall a politician actually admitting they lied about somethign before
