The Verdict on the McCain Speech?
As noted elsewhere, why McCain’s people decided to have him speak on the same night to be compared to two really gifted speakers is beyond understanding. Not just did McCain look not ready for prime time (much less for any leadership position whatsoever), he was in a venue that diminished his message with a crowd […]
Will she or won’t she?
What will Hillary say tonight? On the one hand signs are pointing to her acknowledging Obama as the nominee. On the other hand… Okay, I’ll admit I’m starting to get a bad feeling about tonight. What I don’t understand is what possible option she has left? And by option I mean one that wouldn’t rip […]
Friday Afternoon Blog Hijack — Best News This Week Edition
Another crazy week is pretty much over and while the media has been obsessed over a) making Scott McClellan look delusional (too late, gang!) and b) trying to read the Rules Committee tea leaves (there will be a delegate split, there will be seating, there will not be adding to the HRC narrative); the Coolest […]
Adventures in Maverickyness — Flip Flops Are Not Just for Kids Anymore!
The biggest drawback to the Democrats not officially settled on a candidate is that John McCain gets to fly beneath the press radar, flip-flopping his legacy away, out of view of the folks who nod their heads when they head “moderate” and “McCain” in the same sentence. So now he has flip-flopped — again — […]
Biden for Secretary of State?
Last week, when I wrote about Biden’s excellent op-ed in the WSJ, I hadn’t seen this Newsweek article all but declaring the cabinet post deal done. “(Biden)…is emerging as a major consigliere to Barack Obama—perhaps with his eye on State once again. Among the top items on Biden’s agenda: making sure that Obama has better […]
Will California lead the way?
The Field has learned that Cardoza is the first of a group of at least 40 Clinton delegates, many of them from California, that through talking among themselves came to a joint decision that all of them would vote for Obama at the convention. They have informed Senator Clinton that it’s time to unite around […]
I want to have Chuck Hagel’s baby
Okay, I really don’t want to have his baby, but now that I have your attention… I’ve always liked Hagel. He’s the real “straight talker” of the Republican party. And before conservatives try and link my praise to my support for Obama let me point out that I’ve admired Hagel for quite some time. Hagel, […]
Why The Long Primary is Good for Obama
Take a look at this article over at HuffPost about the benefits of this long primary for Obama. It does warm my heart. This new engagement in the Democratic contest is a bonanza for our prospects this fall. In Indiana, the combined Democratic primary turnout was 129% of the total voter that John Kerry got […]
Umm… Isn’t there a Primary tomorrow?
As I surf the net, admittedly more than I should, one thing stands out. Where are all the articles on the upcoming Kentucky and Oregon primaries? I’m not saying that blogs like Taylor Marsh and Hillaryis44 are giving an inch, but Jerome over at mydd seems to have accepted that Obama is the nominee and […]
Obama crowd in Oregon size of a small city
75,000 is a really big number. No wonder Republicans are nervous. Hope this post makes everyone’s night. I know I’m fired up and ready to go… make more calls for Obama!
I have new respect for Chris Matthews
If you missed Hardball tonight you have got to watch this clip! I have dreamed of this moment. It was so sweet I was actually applauding at the end.
