In a visit with the Grey Lady today, Bredesen offers a prescription for his party: a superdelegate primary.
It’s particularly interesting to see Bredesen calling for a common sense solution to help the Democratic Party considering his own comments on his party’s shallow bench in the upcoming race to challenge Lamar Alexander for U.S. Senate, which […]

Everyone has their tipping point - commonly referred to as “Tipping Point Syndrome” or “TPS.” TPS is the moment in time when, like Larry David, a person goes from feeling sorry for Hillary Clinton and thinking, “Oh Christ, let her win already…Who cares…It’s not worth it. There’s not that much difference between them. She can […]

Jonathan Alter of Newsweek has an illuminating piece up about the thing that will matter more at the Democratic National Convention than media cycles or momentum: delegates–specifically pledged delegates. Alter’s conclusion, based on very generous delegate math (including Michigan and Florida), leaves Hillary as little better than a Huckabee with the benefit of proportional representation. […]

Based on the media cycle, which has pummeled Obama like he hasn’t seen yet in this campaign, I think Hillary goes 3-1 tonight, taking Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island. Obama wins Vermont fairly handily. Obama might win the caucus in Texas, but that won’t allow him to spin it as a win considering how much […]

First, Knoxville Republican Rep. Stacy Campfield’s ridiculous bill to “ban elementary and middle schools from teaching about anything other than heterosexuality was angrily derided in a legislative committee.” Big surprise, he fabricated the issue. Bigger surprise, Democrats stood up and said, “No More.” Then, the Tennessean woke up and smelled election integrity with a front […]

What should be a huge nationwide news story is finally hitting a few other of the, er, mainstream papers: Barack Obama was robbed in New York.
Barack Obama’s primary-night results were strikingly underrecorded in several districts around the city - in some cases leaving him with zero votes when, in fact, he had pulled in hundreds, […]

As 2007 drew to a close, I was making unverifiable assertions to friends and associates not to discount Mike Huckabee as a dark horse among the Republican presidential nominees. As 2008 opened, I declared on air (free bumper sticker to the careful listener who can help me figure out which podcast it’s in) that John […]

Democratic turnout in Tennessee favored Democrats, which is more noteworthy than some other states where this has been the case considering that we don’t have party registration.
The media has been desperately trying to turn the Republican race into a two-man race before it legitimately was one. I was (too privately, alas) an early predictor (before […]
