  • Can Obama win the white vote? Does it matter?

    Number of comments: 1
    After yesterday’s primary, there has been a lot of speculation that Obama, if nominated, would have trouble winning over a majority of white voters. Would it matter even if he couldn’t? Could he still win the election? No, to the first; yes, to the second. Of course, winning a majority of [...]

  • On Ron Paul

    Number of comments: 1
    4&20 Blackbirds provides some excellent analysis on the Ron Paul Revolution. As a college student, I have seen a major shift from the people once in the pro-Nader camp to the pro-Paul camp and, honestly, it has confused me to no end. Pauls’ speeches are great and his approach is seductive, [...]

  • Going after McCain

    Obama is turning his attention towards McCain and reminding Democrats “that time is running out for Democrats to start defining their Republican opponent.” So something good did come out of Pennsylvania: Obama is now moving past the primary debate and moving with more veracity into the general election debate. Mr. Obama [...]

  • Clinton wins Pennsylvania, but that doesn’t amount to much

    Clinton won Pennsylvania today (as expected), but that doesn’t amount to much – she still can’t win: The dynamics of the race are the same as they’ve been for more than two months. Obama is the front-runner, and California-based Democratic consultant Dan Newman points out that is more important the closer [...]

  • Finding our Narrative

    Number of comments: 1
    It’s been a long, bruise inducing primary season and I’m ready for it to be over; I’m ready to take on McCain and get this country back on track. However, there is a lot of good that has come out of this primary: the democratic process being executed to its fullest, [...]

  • What is Hillary thinking?

    Tomorrow, Hillary Clinton will be on “Good Morning America” tomorrow morning (Tuesday, April 22nd) and, well, she’s really gone off the deep end: ABC News’ Chris Cuomo asked Clinton what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we [...]

    Jim Hunt, while up in Havre, called out Rehberg for ignoring the issues that matter most to Montanans like “the war in Iraq, expanding health insurance, fuel prices and the economy.” Jim Hunt added that attacks against him by the Montana Republicans and by Rehbergs reelection campaign, such as about his [...]

    Wiley Cody, over at the enlightened Big Sky Cairn, really missed the point on this one and so did Craig (MT Politics). It’s dangerous for ill informed people to comment on racial issues because they see cultural understanding, and the means necessary to get to a place of understanding, as [...]

  • Jim Hunt: A Good Start

    I want to express my enthusiasm about Jim Hunt for coming out strong against Rehberg and not waisting anytime after a some what late campaign launch. Jim Hunt… has been especially vocal in labeling Rehberg a consistent supporter of unpopular Bush policies, such as the Iraq war. “Our statistics show that he [...]

  • Why Nader is Wrong (and kind of an egotistical jerk)

    Ralph Nader is very excited to have garnered roughly 10% of the Michigan vote, in a recent poll. But, behind Nader’s self-destructive, egotistic enthusiasm, is another story: The statewide poll of 600, with an error margin of plus or minus 4 percent, apparently concluded that if Sen. Hillary Clinton got the [...]

  • Hunt raises more money than Rehberg, but where’s Baucus?

    Pogie, over at Intelligent Discontent, already posted about this article, but something else in the article caught my eye.

Hunt, who entered the race in February, reported raising about $133,000. Rehberg, [...]

    Number of comments: 4
    Xinhua, China’s “news” source, has denounced the Dalai Lama as a sham and said he dreamed of restoring the Tibetan feudal system of serfdom. “It is indeed the anti-human rights nature of the Dalai clique that impels the ‘pro-Tibet independence’ separatists to undermine China’s stability and unity, disgrace China worldwide, and even [...]

    Republican Sen. John McCain has erased Sen. Barack Obama’s 10-point advantage in a head-to-head matchup, leaving him essentially tied with both Democratic candidates in an Associated Press-Ipsos national poll released Thursday. The survey showed the extended Democratic primary campaign creating divisions among supporters of Obama and rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton [...]

    The New Republic just recently featured an article by Jonathan Chait entitled, “No Really, You Should Go: Wretched rationalizations for Hillary Clinton’s kamikaze campaign.” This article was surprising not only due to its refreshing bluntness, but also due to it coming from The New Republic, which could arguably be called [...]

    According to Think Progress, which also provides the audio - so there’s not much to suppose, In recent days, Sen.
