Well, he said he’d do it and goddamn it, he’s doing it!  Barack Obama said, throughout the campaign, that if he were elected President, he would reach across the aisle, reach out to opponents, and bring America together to set a new course for a change in this nation.  And wouldn’t you know it, he …

Born into the family of John Kenneth Forester, owner of General Aviation, and married to Evelyn Robert de Rothschild, of the Rothschild family fortune - and Knight of England - Lady Rothschild has spent the last 5 months – ever since she resigned from the DNC when her gal Hillary lost – endorsing McCain.  She’s all …

Over the last few weeks, it has become abundantly clear that Barack Obama does not have the personal capacity or the demeanor for attack.  He has been getting pummeled by McCain’s attack ads, letting the McCain camp define Obama before Obama can.  Moreover, he has allowed the McCain camp to set the (ridiculous) terms of …

Dorian, I think you answered your own question. The reason that hard-core Clinton supporters attribute her loss to sexism, and not to any other possible factor, is due to the Right’s constant and hyperbolic representation of Hillary Clinton as the Anti-Christ. (Oh, and using a poll from 18 months ago to support your “Most Hated” …

Japhy, I love the idea of an Obama-Bloomberg ticket. (Back when Clinton seemed inevitable, I was rooting for a Bloomberg-Obama ticket. Funny that.) Thing is, I’m not sure he’d take it. Whenever Bloomberg floated the idea of running as an independent, he seemed more interested in the thrill of the race …

Veepstakes:
I’m terrible at predictions, much better at picking apart politics as it happens, so if were a gambling man, I wouldn’t even put money on my own predictions.
Except this one: Obama won’t pick Clinton. The core of his message is “change” and crossing party lines, so selecting a divisive Washington insider makes no …

Histrionic outcry? A problem with unity? Daily Kos crazed Clinton-hating liberals?
Jesus. I’ll plead none-of-the-above, thank you very much.
Okay, I’ll grant you this much: I do hate Hillary Clinton. That said, I oppose Clinton as veep for the same reason I opposed her as a primary candidate: she’s unelectable, her …

Today Bob Novak hinted that John McCain may be close to picking a running mate, and may make an announcement as soon as the end of this week (anything to get the press to stop covering the fact that Barack Obama may actually be quite competent on issues of foreign affairs). Coupled with …

God, no. The Huffington Post highlights some buried information in a New York Times article on the veep-vetting process:
Democrats said they thought it was less likely now than it was a month ago that Mr. Obama would choose Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York as his running mate, though they said she remained …

This article in The New York Times is just delicious: Obama Donors Aren’t Rushing to Aid Clinton
Especially when it quotes Obama supporters like this one, “Not a penny for that woman. Or her husband. Or — god forbid — Mark Penn.” Hilarious.
I’ve made no secret of my loathing for Hillary Clinton, but …

Oh, unity, I am so over you.
The elaborate political kabuki that took place in Unity, New Hampshire is the sort of thing that reminds me why I refuse to register for a political party. Maybe it’s some dysfunctional social gene that’s built into me, but the idea of voting for someone because they belong to …

Will Bower is just about the most annoying man in the universe. When I learned that the gay HuffPo columnist was the leading force behind the anti-Obama group “Party Unity My Ass” aka P.U.M.A., I really didn’t care. I’ve never understood the kind of person who says things like “I would do anything, almost anything …
