The Politics Of Higher Food Prices
The jump in gasoline prices may only be rivaled as a political issue this election year by the increase in food prices. Not everyone has a car, but everyone does have to eat. And the price of putting food on the table has gone up, with experts saying those prices ...
A Good Superdelegate Day for Obama
While it's been a fairly crummy last five days or so for the Barack Obama campaign, if they can just blot out the memory of Rev. Jeremiah Wright doing impressions of JFK and LBJ for a minute, Obama staffers will be able to realize that they keep moving closer and ...
Democrats Ratchet Up the Schedule
One of the great things about running the US House during an election year is that the party in power can pretty much dictate what issues are going to be dealt with on the floor, leaving the minority party to throw verbal grenades about what the voters supposedly want. ...

Superdelegate Scoreboard, Vol 18
With six days to go before the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, there is a bit of uncertainty edging into the Democratic race again, as Hillary Clinton shows more strength in Indiana and may be closing the race in the Tar Heel State. But again, we will remind you that ...
Obama Files For Divorce With Rev. Wright
It was a major shift in tone for Barack Obama on Tuesday, as he decided on a very public break with his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama said Wright's speech in Washington, D.C. on Monday was filled with a "bunch of rants." Just a day earlier, Obama had again ...
Same Ole Gridlock On High Gas Prices
With US economic troubles clearly the top issue for voters so far this election year, it was really no surprise that President Bush decided to use a White House news conference on Tuesday to bash Democrats on energy policy issues. Mr. Bush accused Democrats of blocking plans that would have ...

Superdelegate Scoreboard, Vol 17
We will talk a little bit about polls in this blog entry, but let's remind ourselves that the only numbers which really mean anything right now are the total number of delegates held by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Obama secured yet another superdelegate on Monday, getting the support of ...
A Surprise Endorsement For Clinton
One week before voters go to the polls in North Carolina and Indiana, the outgoing Governor of the Tar Heel State is giving Hillary Clinton a surprise endorsement today in Raleigh. Most people had written off North Carolina as a state that Clinton was not going to win. But now ...
Barack Obama Raps Rev. Wright
The fallout from Rev. Jeremiah Wright's long weekend media blitz finally got under the skin of Barack Obama late on Monday, as he held a hastily scheduled news conference on the tarmac in Wilmington, North Carolina. "I think certainly what the last three days indicates is that we're not coordinating ...

Obama v Clinton and Obama v McCain
While Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spent the weekend bickering over the need for more debates, Obama turned most of his personal attention on the presumptive GOP nominee, again sparring with John McCain in what is quickly becoming an acrimonious battle as well. Clinton launched the first salvo on Saturday, ...
Rev. Wright Steps Into The Limelight
After a Friday night TV appearance with Bill Moyers and a Sunday night speech in Detroit, Rev. Jeremiah Wright steps onto the Washington, D.C. stage with a speech at the National Press Club today. Wright's interview on PBS generated some national headlines, but there was no real firestorm. Whether he ...

The Rev. Wright Show
This won't be the weekend that everyone just forgets about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his ties to Barack Obama. Wright gives his first real interview since videotapes of his controversial sermons started making the rounds on the internet and evening news shows. He'll be on Friday night with Bill Moyers on ...

The Road Ahead For Democrats
I'm sure we are going to hear a lot of talk about expectations for the next round of Democratic primaries on May 6 in Indiana and North Carolina, so we may as well get ahead of the game on that. At a minimum, Hillary Clinton must win one state, the ...
Is This Really That Bad For The Democrats?
For the sake of argument, let's look at the Democratic Presidential race from a bit different view. Is this extended battle really that bad? Is it really going to doom the eventual nominee come November? I don't think we should jump to that conclusion, at least not now. Yes, the joke around Washington, ...

The Democratic Race Hits A Nerve
A day after Hillary Clinton's strong showing in Pennsylvania, both sides and their supporters angled for advantage and vented their spleens about the state of the Democratic race for President, making clear some of the divisions that have been exposed. Team Clinton tried to ride a wave of new fundraising, ...
The Delegate Math Doesn't Really Change
While Hillary Clinton enjoyed the day after her solid win in Pennsylvania, the delegate math did not improve for her in the Democratic Presidential race. Clinton will come out with an advantage in delegates from the Keystone State, but only an edge of between 10 and 12 delegates overall. That ...
Did Pennsylvania Really Change Anything?
Even though Hillary Clinton easily won the Pennsylvania Primary, the blunt question of Vice President Cheney keeps ringing in my ears. "So?" Does the Clinton win really change anything? Was the dynamic of this race altered? One thing Clinton may have accomplished is making sure that there won't be a massive ...
A Double Digit Win For Clinton
Hillary Clinton could not afford anything other than a strong victory in Pennsylvania and that is exactly what she got. She rolled up over 200 thousand more votes than Barack Obama in winning a 55-45% victory in the Keystone State, getting to that important double digit margin. "The American people ...
Once Again, The Polls Were Off
We talked about it again in recent days, whether the polls would get the margin correct in Pennsylvania. Most of them did not. Again. The exit polls were also wrong, again. Matt Drudge splashed a huge headline on his site around 6pm that said the polls showed Hillary Clinton leading ...

What's Next For The Democrats?
With Hillary Clinton's victory in Pennsylvania, this race is not over - at least not in her mind - and so, we go on to Indiana and North Carolina, which vote on May 6. Obama has held a big lead in North Carolina in recent weeks, so most attention seems ...
