From the New York Times:
Seizing on her Pennsylvania primary victory, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her surrogates are renewing their efforts to have the disputed Michigan and Florida convention delegates seated and pushing the argument that she now leads in the total number of votes cast when the tallies in those two states are included.

We embed. You decide.
Senator Clinton is ready for anything…?

Senator Edwards fishin’ for a Jet Ski…?

Senator Obama putting the press and their distractions “on notice”…?

The best Colbert Report EVER.

Fred Kaplan, writing in Slate, incisively addresses a fundamental question I ask repeatedly: What the hell does “victory” constitute in Iraq? He discovers that the goalposts have moved repeatedly throughout the war. Most frustratingly, he concludes that in their current position, the goalposts are so far down the field as to make winning essentially impossible.

After weeks of dropping hints but remaining coy and quiet, Bill Richardson makes a 3:00 a.m. phone call that is guaranteed not to make Hillary’s day.
Is it possible that superdelegates will now stop fretting that some Americans a few weeks ago thought Obama was Muslim and that this week think Obama goes to church but […]

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 […]

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 […]
