She’s actually playing on parents’ fears of children dying to win votes. Unbelievable. I mean, on one had it’s sad she’s resorting to Rovian tactics, but I’m not surprised given the type of campaign she has run. This is par for course at this point. TPM also sums up why this ad is a bad [...]
Heh, the fatigue of the campaign trail… I do hope the debate is respectful, as he promises. Fingers crossed. Tweet
Yesterday, I went to the polls here in Texas. I gave myself twenty minutes to vote, twice as much time as it usually takes at the local early voting location. Almost an hour later, I finally cast my ballot. The Republican and Democratic voters all waited in the same line but you could tell who [...]
He doesn’t like Hillary and after this campaign I can relate. But I’ve been more and more turned off lately by how “creative” his dislike can be. Exhibit A: We’re at that moment in the campaign that reminds me of a horror movie. There’s a kind of relief that the worst cannot happen, that the [...]
I speculated about this earlier, but now Marc Ambinder shares some gossip… But though Barack Obama’s campaign is keeping mum, you can bet that somewhere in Chicago, David Plouffe is cracking a smile.

Take a look… The purpose of this survey is to examine how people [...]

Obama has claimed more than 1 million donors over the course of the campaign, and raised $36 million last [...]
Yet another sign that the Democrats will handily out-raise their opponents. Because while this haul is impressive, it’s a safe bet that Obama is going to eclipse his January total of $36M. From Politico: A Clinton advisor confirmed the figure, which is enough to suggest that money won’t be an obstacle to Clinton’s campaign going [...]
Remember, if Obama wins Texas, it’s all over. That’s been the Clinton campaign’s contention all along, and even Bill said if she didn’t win both Texas and Ohio, she wouldn’t get the nomination.
