I don’t think so, and the numbers don’t either…
- Obama won Republicans more narrowly than usual, 52-47. In vote terms, that translates to roughly 134,000 to 123,000.
- Overall, Clinton won Texas by just under 100,000 votes.
It’s a close call, but unless the vast majority of Republicans who voted for Clinton (more than 80%) did so [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the unravelling of a political phony.
From LA Times:
As the campaign faces a make-or-break moment, some high-level officials are trying to play down their role in the campaign. Penn said in an e-mail over the weekend that he had “no direct authority in the campaign,” describing himself as merely “an [...]

“The strategy is to continue the chaos in this party. Look, there’s a reason for this. Our side isn’t going to do this. Obama needs to be bloodied up. Look, half the country already hates Hillary. That’s good. But nobody hates Obama yet. Hillary is going to be the one to have to bloody him [...]

She was stumping for Hillary in Texas and I can’t imagine she will be again any time soon. Of course, Hillary’s campaign may be over soon so this may be a complete non issue. At the very least, Hillary should denounce AND reject the following.
From New York Observer:
“Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and [...]

As most of you know, I supported Howard Dean in 2004. Since then he’s turned into a disappointing, tired political hack. And this latest attack on Republicans is just beyond the pale.
From Georgetown Voice:
The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former Governor of Vermont contrasted the two parties’ presidential candidates, saying that with a [...]

I like how the title of this post is “Another Photo Of Obama In Muslim Garb?” The author does go on to admit that they don’t know if the garb in question is Muslim or not, but it appears as if it might be.
Sure…okay…
This is going to get old.

I dare you to not watch this and get outraged. Because not only is the story of the key witness for the prosecution completely discredited, but it’s clear that Karl Rove was behind a campaign to get the goods on the former Governor of Alabama.

TPM weighs in…
60 Minutes’ piece is an excellent distillation of the [...]

Rush Limbaugh, who has always had an abusive relationship with reality, has completely lost it. This from The Weekly Standard’s Michael Goldfarb quoting a piece in The New York Sun:
On Mr. Limbaugh’s program today, he said people should not be rushing to back Mr. McCain over issues of national security. The talk host said America’s [...]

They’re nailing Ted Kennedy to the wall for endorsing Barack Obama. Why? Because Barack doesn’t have a va-jay-jay.
From Politico:
“Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed [...]

They will say anything to win.
From Wash Post:
DILLON, S.C., Jan. 23 — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign aired a new radio ad here Wednesday that repeated a discredited charge against Sen. Barack Obama, in what some Democrats said is part of an increasing pattern of hardball politics by her and former president Bill Clinton.
The [...]

Remember that clip from this week where Obama he said that the Republican party had been the “party of ideas” for a good chunk of time? Well, Hillary and Bill both LIED on separate occasions and asserted that Obama had said that the Republicans had “better” ideas over the past 10 to 15 years.
Well, first, [...]

Since I have a background in public relations and marketing, the following explanation as to why the Department of Justice can’t put Talking Points Memo back on their press release list is especially funny.
From Balloon Juice:
Mr. Berger,
I appreciated your desire to be in tune with DOJ press releases, however, unfortunately I am not able to [...]

So it’s becoming increasingly apparent that the Clintons are using surrogates in what is shaping up to be a consistent “Obama did drugs” reminder campaign.
Understandably, this has infuriated a lot of black leaders. One very notable leader in particular.
I’m on the radio this morning. For the last thirty minutes, I’ve been talking about the [...]

This is SO telling.
From dailypress.com:
RICHMOND, Va. - Voters in Virginia’s Feb. 12 Republican presidential primary will have to sign an oath swearing loyalty to the eventual GOP ticket.
The State Board of Elections on Monday approved a state Republican Party request that all who apply for a GOP primary ballot first vow in writing to [...]

Oh man, this is soooooo funny/sad.
Allow me to explain.
A couple days ago, Kos of Daily Kos announced he was going to be a correspondent/editorialist on the campaign trail for Newsweek. You know, because of his ability to so accurately prognosticate the politics of now.
Ahem.
At the time he also announced that he’d be joined by some [...]

For years, publishing houses that put out “conservative non-fiction” have used a very tried and true method for pumping up the popularity of their authors’ screeds. They sell a bunch of their books in bulk at cut rate prices to book clubs so titles will show up on The New York Times best seller list. [...]

While Ron Paul’s large growing popularity continues to surge and thrust ever upward, RedState’s flaccid popularity seems small, shrunken, perhaps even impotent by comparison.

Good job left-wingers.
By questioning the messenger and trying to discredit him before he had even delivered the message, you actually gave him more credibility in the eyes of nearly everybody who doesn’t share your far left views…that being 75% of the electorate.
See, they don’t like name calling, and they trust the military to give them [...]

This is a question I’ve been asking myself lately, especially after he won yet another post-debate poll yesterday.
Seriously, it’s puzzling as to why the public or pundits aren’t taking Paul more seriously. Is it because he doesn’t fit into the mold of what a “conservative” is supposed to be anymore? Is it because his [...]

Biden was best, again.Richardson exceeded low expectations. Obama fell short of high expectations. Edwards fell short of low expectations. Kucinich met zero expectations. That other guy has white hair. Mike Gravel’s shtick is not as entertaining as YouTube videos. YouTube questions were better and more entertaining than Britt Hume. YouTube questions were not that entertaining. It is Hillary Clinton’s nomination to lose. She didn’t lose it Monday night. Chuck Hagel is the GOP’s only hope. The GOP has no hope. None.
