The full-court press to force Hillary from the presidential race ain’t working. She will win the West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico primaries.

The Clinton Team has a message for America after Pennsylvania, and it’s not spin. It’s a serious question every American and every Democrat should be asking: Why didn’t Obama win Pennsylvania?
But after the Obama campaign’s “go-for-broke” Pennsylvania strategy, after their avalanche of negative ads, negative mailers and negative attacks against Sen. Clinton, after their […]

Overview: This is a story of big-city behind-the-scenes politics — of scratch-my-back and I’ll-scratch-yours backroom dealings. It is a story of how Bill Ayers and Barack Obama — sitting on a charitable board (for which they were paid) — aided and abetted the lucrative real estate development projects of Obama’s former law firm associate […]

John B. Judis, co-author with Ruy Teixeira of the superb The Emerging Democratic Majority, has a piece today in TNR on the damage Snob-gate has done to Obama. Judis is a respected observer of demographics and voting trends, and his words in this article are perhaps too cautious for his larger point. Superdelegates and Party […]

On Sunday, Obama said Hillary should be ashamed for bringing up Snob-gate.
The Clinton Team fired back with this:
Sen. Clinton does know better — she knows better than to condescend and talk down to voters like Senator Obama […]

“Obama Puts Democrats in Peril” and “Electability Is Name of the Game,” from TheStreet.com, and
“Grand Unified Theory of […]
