Ben Smith has some fun with the McCain cries of sexism: During the primary Sarah Palin chided Hillary Clinton for complaining about sexism. “She does herself a disservice to even mention it, really,” Palin said. “When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that […]

He gives the complete time line and talks (has talked) to many of those involved over time. A fairly big chunk of text, but not much compared to the whole thing which you should go read. You’d think the March, 2003 Senate committee action by Obama and five other Democrats to deep-six the most recent […]

Stanek’s claim is that Obama was stopping a bill to outlaw infanticide and that such a law was required in Illinois because of what she claims occurred at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn. However, the response from the Illinois Attorney General to the claims points out that if such events occurred, those events would already […]

While many have pointed out the disaster that is our response to Georgia, it’s important to note that Scheunemann is following the same strategy for Georgia that Rumsefeld attempted with Taiwan and China. Fortunately, Rumsfeld had adult supervision with Powell sending his guys behind to clean up the mess. This time, there’s no one to […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWXqpHEsrxc[/youtube] So, I see a bunch of warm and fuzzy images and Obama intermixed with only one negative graphic before 22 seconds. Errr…most people have tuned out by then and will remember the warm and fuzziness with Obama. This is the second McCain ad I’ve watched and wondered if they aren’t great ads FOR Obama.

While many are panicking over Clinton taking the fight for the delegates to Denver, it’s a non-credible threat. More frustrating is that Ickes and others presenting the outcome of the May 31st meeting as somehow determinative truly misrepresents what has occurred. If you take the Democratic Convention Watch numbers for if Michigan and Florida […]

Ultimately, the latest right wing blog attempt at fact checking rests upon the notion that there is no possible way that genealogy records could be wrong. I’ll let those who have ever done such research stop laughing. The proof that Obama must be wrong was that the genealogy records were for Charles W. Payne, […]

Using Republicans words against them. [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/f6ul9iMgmOw” width=”425″ height=”350″ wmode=”transparent” /] Hysterical ranting from the RNC: “As a legal matter,” RNC chairman Mike Duncan said today, this is a “maliciously false” campaign ad. “The advertisement in question falsely and maliciously” quotes Sen. McCain as saying that extending the war in Iraq for 100 years would […]

Yep It came as a revelation to hear that Obama, who I thought was plotting to become president, has been shrewedly maneuvering to lead the pom squad at McCain’s inauguration. But there was something else that struck me as strange about Clinton’s reaction: Obama was not the first of the two Democrats to say something […]

Hillary wants some sort of common defense umbrella in the Middle East: Clinton said it was vital that the United States create a new “security umbrella” to reassure Israel and its other allies in the region that they would not be threatened by Iran. She said she would tell them that “if you were the […]

Some of the dimmer lights in the blogosphere aren’t quite understanding the concept of oversampling for subgroups as NBC/WSJ did for the African-American sample in their latest poll. It’s fairly simple. There is a general sample of 700 respondents with 11% African-American and 75% White respondents. Looking at their subsamples, there are 520 white respondents […]

It hurts you too: As expected, one of the two major Democratic candidates saw a downturn in the latest NBC/WSJ poll, but it’s not the candidate that you think. Hillary Clinton is sporting the lowest personal ratings of the campaign. Moreover, her 37 percent positive rating is the lowest the NBC/WSJ poll has recorded since […]

What’s stunning to me is that as many of us have spent time trying to point out that a big portion of the right wing noise machine is not credible and shouldn’t set the agenda after watching the Clinton’s get cut up by it for 8 years, Clinton is now embracing those sources as reasonable […]
