John Heilemann interviews Hillary Clinton for an article in the NY Magazine. It is quite interesting, offering some new perspective and some post mortem thoughts not found elsewhere (yet). I think what Heilemann says here will gradually appear elsewhere. He says that by losing, Hillary has at least gained something: stature […]

The Obamabots are in a panic. Even though he has claimed the nomination still we Hillary supporters have not seen the light. They are in shock that we are not swarming with the masses to the selected one.
On Wednesday, I wrote a defiant post declaring that I would never vote for Obama. An Obamabot, in […]

After Hillary suspended her campaign and called on her supporters to back Obama, a dear friend and active supporter of Obama, sent me an article to read and asked me to tell her what I thought about it. My friend, a long time feminist, has contributed to women’s issues for decades and her […]

CNN reports that Hillary swept Puerto Rico in a win that contradicts previous voting patterns in this primary:
Clinton won 70 percent of the male vote, 65 percent of voters under 30, 70 percent of voters who attended college, and 66 percent of voters with an […]

While many have said that the nominating process will not run past […]

My blog received a wave of comments and emails from “Hillary Democrats” over Memorial Day weekend, mostly in response to guest posts by two readers who separately contacted me and wanted to share their thoughts about their growing dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party: sumuchtusay and deppdogg.

Yesterday three top Florida Democrats filed suit in Federal Court to force the DNC to seat the delegates from Florida at the National Convention — no compromise, no half-way BS. Steve Geller, the Florida Senate Minority Leader, is an undeclared superdelegate and he is joined in the lawsuit by two other plaintiffs — one […]
