1) While many people were wringing hands over the racist / nonracist McCain ad comparing Obama to vacuous celebrities, Rasmussen was doing a poll on what viewers thought.

No Quarter published two fascinating posts on Tuesday about the current state of the race between McCain and Obama. Taken together, these two pieces of analysis convey ominous news for Obama.
The first post, Obama’s Flawed Race Strategy: Why the Black Vote Won’t Be Enough by iam0nly1, argues convincingly that Obama’s weakness in the Rust Belt […]

As NoQuarter’s Bud White wrote recently in his devastating “The RBC: Bush v. Gore“:
We are seeing a recreation of the Florida 2000 coup d’état in mirror image. The Dean/Brazile/neo-liberal wing of the Party learned their lesson in Broward County all too well.
The most obvious clue of this theft, of course, is that Hillary has won […]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the words. There it was for me to take in slowly. I almost choked and hurled on the spot. But there it was in black and white. Those words that would force me to change my entire belief structure.

If not us, who. If not now, when?
Forty years ago this week, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated as he celebrated the California primary election. Although I was just a young suburban girl, 1968 means something to me because of Bobby’s death. My mother, a true-blue southern Democrat, always spoke of his natural ability […]

Friday’s Washington Post has a story on how the McCain campaign is looking to woo disaffected Clinton supporters. The GOP thinks it has a shot at these voters who believe Obama is out of touch with them and because McCain is a “maverick” who may be able to accommodate their interests.
