A Hispanic problem?
Much was made during the primary of Clinton's regular lead over Obama among Hispanic voters in large swing states. Given that McCain is one of the few Republicans not to run on a platform of explicit xenophobia, it was therefore...more »

My theory vis-a-vis the current full throttle Clinton campaign
I have a theory. I am no genius and have no special connections to either campaign or the DNC, so my theory is nothing more than my own interpretation of the same data available to all of us. In other...more »

Frivolous questions
1) Either Barack Obama's or Hillary Clinton's presidency would represent a historic first. As such, the odds are pretty good that either would end up on the money. Which denominations of bills/coins should each one get? 2) Gary Trudeau used...more »

Friendly fire in the class war
A few penséss that have come to mind as a result of the exchanges of the last few days: 1) When did "limosine liberals" become an epithet on the tongues of democrats? I can understand why a republican like Spiro...more »

Who is the bigger gamble, Obama or Clinton?
Well, everyone knows how I will answer this question. I am a Kool-Aid drunk Obamabot. Of course I think that Clinton is the bigger gamble. It seems to me, however, that the "Obama cannot win" line is only half the...more »

Puerto Rico and the Popular vote
This is a question for those who think that the popular vote ought to count for something - should non-states count in that popular vote tally. I notice that, at present, RCP is including the totals from places like the...more »

Clinton and the base - the "electability" argument
Much ado has recently been made about Sen Obama's demonstrated inability to win over certain important segments of the democratic base, viz. blue collar whites, older voters (especially older women) and hispanics. These exit poll trends have given rise to...more »

He outspent her 10 to 1 in Pennsylvania!!!
Not really, but I notice that with each passing minute the legend of her victory-in-the-face-of-unprecedented-obstacles seems to grow in the writings of Gotalife, RStephen, Matthew Weaver, & al. By the end of the day I fully expect to read that...more »

More People Have Now Voted For Me Than For My Opponent...

At the risk of seeming even more dense than usual, I will nonetheless admit that I am rather lost as to what you are trying to say here, dear Indie Pro.

Good point. Did you see Sean's post on the energy gap between the McCain and Obama campaigns? He points out that when the "kitchen sink" strategy emerged in the democratic primary in March, interest in the democratic race started to decline. Evidently folks pitching criticisms at each other makes ordinary listeners tune out (even if it fascinates us political junkies). As such, one should not overestimate the number of people being reached by McCain's accusations. A lot of folks just are not paying attention.

Ha, I can beat that:
What a stupid comment this is!
(see that, I just bitched about your meta-meta-bitching, which means that this post constitutes meta-meta-meta-bitching; beat that!)

These strike me as less a signal of a coming change in his position on withdrawal and more like a combined effort to defuse the charge that he'll withdraw recklessly and to preserve flexibility as commander in chief.
I agree (for whatever little my agreement is worth).

Krugman never said anything of the sort. Indeed, he was ever at pains to say that all three democrats were head-and-shoulders better than any of the Republicans. Krugman frequently remarked that Obama's plans were the least progressive of the three, but that is hardly the same thing as to say that his plans were in any wise similar to the Republicans'.

But that is just it, we should want Bush to veto the bill. Then we can turn around and say "we tried to keep Americans safe, but the Republicans stood in our way."
