Wright Flap Doesn’t Hurt Obama


Team Clinton must be in a tizzy. They threw the most disgusting attacks at Obama culminating in the Pastor Wright stuff, but they just can’t seem to drag him far enough down to matter:
The videos of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s controversial sermons and Barack Obama’s subsequent speech on race and politics have attracted more public […]

Earth to Dems: Listen to Chris Dodd and END THIS!


Spot freakin’ on:
(CNN) – Sen. Chris Dodd said Thursday a protracted Democratic presidential race would be “devastating” to the party, and argued an agreement should be worked out after the upcoming contests in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and North Carolina.
Dodd, a former presidential candidate and current backer of Barack Obama’s White House bid, told the National Journal […]

Another Super Breaks for Obama


WASHINGTON - Rep. Dan Lipinski, one of the latest Democratic superdelegates to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president, said Wednesday that statements made by the senator’s former pastor “were not helpful for our country” but Obama is what the nation needs.
Make that 1,621 to 1,499. Hillz super-delegate lead is down to 35. Trending […]

Hillary Clinton, Richard Mellon Scaife, and the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy


Tim was hopping all over this earlier today, and rightly so. Hillary bringing up Pastor Wright conveniently in an editorial meeting with the architect of the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.
It’s so inexplicable that Hillary apologists over at BSB were making shit up to try to deflect. It was pretty hilarious. […]

Let’s Play He Said, Hill Said…


He said:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says the Democratic presidential nomination will be decided before the August convention. “I had a conversation with [Democratic National Committee Chairman] Governor [Howard] Dean today,” Reid told the paper. “Things are being done.”
Hill Said:
“I think that what we have to wait and see is what happens in […]

Believe in Transparency? Support Barack Obama


Obama put his tax records in a big fat pdf and put them on his website. Maybe a Hillary supporter (or apologist, whatever you call yourselves these days - the “balance” folks) can show me where on Clinton’s website I might be able to go to find this same type of information. I’ve […]

Hillary! Stop the attacks! Love, Obama Girl


Nothing like a little late night Obama Girl:

Clintonian Primary Calculus Fun Time! (aka Hillary’s New New Math)


Let’s play Clintonian Primary Calculus shall we? You know - that game where we continue to try to come up with a way that possibly could explain a rational reason for us denying all other measures and selecting Hillary “I’m Due Damnit” Clinton as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States of […]

Casey Knowles (the 3am ad girl) Rejects Hillary’s Politics of Fear


-
Spot on Casey! Thanks for speaking truth to fear…and power.

Can John Edwards Endorse Hillary?


-
Easy answer? No. Hell no. Political suicide. Hillary made the fatal mistake of running as the “experienced” candidate in an era when the people want change. Both Edwards and Obama have had a change message the entire time.
I’ve said from the beginning that Edwards/Obama was my favorite ticket. […]

Richardson on Obama: “Once-in-a-Lifetime Leader”


In his endorsement of Barack Obama today, Bill Richardson said:
The New Mexico governor joined Sen. Obama at spirited rally Friday and said the Illinois senator demonstrated his leadership abilities this week with his speech on race. “You are a once-in-a-lifetime leader,” the governor said from the stage. “Above all, you will be a president who […]

Politico: The Clinton myth (she can’t win)


Haven’t I been saying this for some time now?
One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning.
All she is doing is hurting the party right now. Super-delegates would be good to recognize this fact. […]

Race Baiting Working in PA


Congrats to Team Billary. The race baiting attacks seem to be working as planned in good old PA:
A week ago, her customers at Rauchut’s Tavern in Tacony didn’t have much to say about Barack Obama. But when she returned to work Wednesday, a day after the Illinois senator attempted to quell the furor over […]

Breaking: Obama Passport Information Breached, State Department Linked


Just now on MSNBC. 2 employees at the State Department have been fired and a third suspended over a security breach that led to Barack Obama’s passport information being accessed without authorization. Three different occasions by three different individuals.
The Obama camp responds:
“This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even […]

The long, hard slog


Eric wrote this earlier today in reaction to Obama’s speech about race.
I got the sense today that Barack Obama was tired. Tired of the hatred and fear-mongering insanity that has gripped not just Republicans, but Democrats as well. I know I get tired when I have to endure the same types of slurs I saw […]
