The Corner on National Review Online
that [ABC News] video is actually (and again, I can’t believe I’m saying this) really unfair to Bill Clinton.
It really was. When NRO’s The Corner says Bill was misleadingly taken out of context, that’s worth noting.
Rasmussen Four-day Tracking Poll
In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, it’s now Hillary Clinton 42% and Barack Obama 35%. Last night was the first night of interviews without John Edwards in the race. For last night’s data alone, Clinton and Obama were essentially even. Samples for individual nights are very small and results should […]
Gallup Daily: Tracking Election 2008
Barack Obama has now cut the gap with Hillary Clinton to 6 percentage points among Democrats nationally in the Gallup Poll Daily tracking three-day average, and interviewing conducted Tuesday night shows the gap between the two candidates is within a few points. Obama’s position has been strengthening on a day-by-day basis. […]
John Edwards will exit presidential race today
Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voter’s sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned.
I’m guessing that he will not endorse anyone […]
OLBERMANN: Senator, one other question here that pertains to a statement that Senator Obama’s campaign just put out, and we’d appreciate your reaction to it. Let me read it in full: “When Senator Clinton was campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire, she said that states like Michigan and Florida that […]
Rasmussen Reports: Connecticut poll of Democratic voters
The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Connecticut’s Democratic Presidential Primary shows the race couldn’t possibly get any closer. Hillary Clinton attracts 40% of the vote and so does Barack Obama. John Edwards is a very distant third at 11% while 3% say they’d vote for some other candidate […]
Here’s a poll of Tennessee voters that shows Hillary Clinton with a 14 point lead (HC 34%, BO 20%, JE 16%, DNK 30%).
But upon digging into the data, and considering recent trends, there is considerable reason for hope in Tennessee, i.e. hope that Obama will come in first. Briefly, the poll is old […]
You have to give the Germans a lot of credit. One of the worst crimes of the Twentieth Century was committed with the compliance of their people. And now, they are determined to continue to remember what happened. Good for them.
Germany Confronts Holocaust Legacy Anew
Most countries celebrate the best in their pasts. Germany unrelentingly promotes […]
Hillary Clinton Pushes for Goverment Bloggers
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton made a pronouncement that was decidedly bold, uncharacteristically hip, and some will no doubt argue, desperately kooky.
“We should even have a government blogging team where people in the agencies are constantly telling all of you, the taxpayers, the citizens of America, everything that’s going on so […]

And do not miss the Redstate video below. Funny because it’s true.
Kennedy endorses Obama at American University rally
Thousands of people showed up.
Check out the people in the picture. The black guy with the shaved head in the center; he’s happy. The too-excited blonde girl right in front of him. The girl in the upper left, apparently being hoisted up to snap a picture. All the cell […]
With the Latino vote so important, expect to hear more about two issues, from the Obama camp, and probably at Thursday’s debate:
1) Drivers licenses for illegal aliens. It’s a big issue for Hispanics. Obama supports them; Clinton does not. Her flip-flopping on this topic first got her in trouble back in a November debate. Obama […]
Ezra Klein - The American Prospect
Throughout this primary, there’s been very little I could bank on. Certainly not my preference in candidates. That changed with the tides. Not the preferences of my friends, or the voters. The candidates themselves shifted and shimmered and changed, and so did the campaigns they ran. But there was one […]
Obama exhorts crowd to change America - Breaking News from The Birmingham News
In an event that was part rock concert, part church revival, Sen. Barack Obama today brought an overflow crowd of 11,000-plus emotional supporters to their feet at UAB’s Bartow Arena, telling them the time to change America has come.
“There is nothing we […]
