Clinton Losing Credibility over Delegate Fights
All the unseemly arguing and maneuvering over delegates and super delegates by the Clinton campaign will destroy her candidacy–its clear to me that’s helping Obama cut into Clinton’s base voters. I wish that some pollster would ask about it. I am eager to see the CNN debate on Thursday to see how Clinton addresses the [...]
Chris Matthews to Clinton Campaign Kneecappers: Screw You?
Unfortunately, Chris Matthews’ anti-Clintonism and frequent misogyny has kind of become my issue so I feel duty bound to cover the latest development in the Matthews versus Clinton media war.

Edwards Could Endorse Hillary Clinton: SEIU to Endorse Obama
I’ve been saying for a while now that I wouldn’t be surprised if Edwards chose to endorse Clinton because of her health care plan, or really, because of his dislike of Obama’s health care plan, but now that ABC News is reporting it, its actually news:

What Obama Needs To Be Prepared For
For all of you thinking that Obama as a presidential candidate will be immune to the racial equivalent of this, well, you’ve got another thing coming.

The Latest Celebity Not Visiting Reno: Magic Johnson

Women Are Never Frontrunners: Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem in the New York Times. You go girl!
But what worries me is that he is seen as unifying by his race while she is seen as divisive by her sex.
What worries me is that she is accused of “playing the gender card” when citing the old boys’ club, while he [...]
