Holding the DNC’s Feet to the Fire: An Interview with Marc Rubin of The Denver Group »

In the face of some powerful Democratic fundraisers/supporters of Senator Clinton and even Democratic legislators now boldly endorsing Senator McCain, it is clear that the wheels may be coming off the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Dean/Brazile bandwagon. That people would abjectly refuse to support the Presidential nominee and, you should pardon the expression, start batting for the other team, [...]

So Who Shall We Blame? For Whom Shall We Cry? »

Years ago, when we still lived in a 30 unit building, a next door neighbor blithely left her apartment with something burning on the stove. I was drying my hair in the bathroom, my husband was working out to music. We didn’t hear anything. We didn’t smell the smoke. But we heard a horrible, loud [...]

I Just Knew That Obama Would End Up Stiffing Harry and Nancy »

Poor Harry Reid. Poor Nancy Pelosi. They had those BIG dollar signs in their eyes whenever they gazed on their big new cash cow Barack Obama. They imagined the millions and millions he’d rake in, not just for his own race, but to finance all of their Senate and House races. That money they had [...]

In Massachusetts, Ed O’Reilly Works To Defeat John Kerry »

Whether or not Ed O’Reilly, criminal defense attorney, former lobsterman, fireman and all-around salt of the earth, can defeat the arrogant, elitist Junior Senator John Kerry in this Tuesday’s primary, I have to take a moment to make some noise on behalf of this man. I deeply appreciate his effort. Apparently, I’m not the only [...]

“Obama Implodes in Georgia” »

One of the arguments many Obama supporters made against Hillary was that she did not support Howard Dean’s 50-state strategy. Obama embraced the 50-state strategy to garner the support of the netroots and other activists. In a mydd diary posted this January, Obama, with his usual humility, was quoted as saying: I think that we’re [...]

Ball of Confusion »

I had an interesting conversation today with a Democratic member of Congress who called to chat about the campaign. This man is someone I’m proud to call a friend. He’s a serious person and a great patriot with a wicked sense of humor. He’s not a buffoon, a bot or a tool. He’s a staunch [...]

On Sawdust And The Democratic Party »

One Half of the famous fowl-mouthed Fowler couple offers an apology. We’re still waiting for one from the other half. You know, her husband Pat Robertson, the guy who thinks a hurricane during the Republican convention was a special gift to him from God. In an interview posted on the political Web site Politico, Chairwoman [...]

Reuters: McCain Surge Attributable To “White Women Voters” »

Hey Barack! It’s the Women, stupid! Too late! We already know what you are. But then, like Donna Brazile said, you don’t need us. Remember when you made another Obama Fantasy Remark about how you were SURE you could get all the Hillary Clinton voters to vote for you? Bzzzzzzzz! Wrong!

Where is Clinton? (Part 2) »

I wrote a serious post yesterday asking where Clinton was (See Where is Clinton). This was not to criticize her but to challenge that she is now faced with her 3 a.m. call and how she responds will mark her legacy and also determine her future role in the party and as an elected leader. [...]

Obama Dispatches Hillary To Save His Mediocre Ass Again »

Do you remember when Barky went on vacation after the faux nomination and he dispatched Hillary to do his windows for him while he caught some waves? Well he’s at it again. Woman-hater Barack Obama is a bit worried because the Republicans did what the Democrats weren’t smart enough to do: They placed a capable [...]

The morning after »

Waking up this morning it is impossible to miss that the game has changed—Obama’s 15-minutes are over and the media has to have a hangover from its violent frenzy during the past week. First, anyone who watched Governor Sarah Palin last night had to come away with at least crudging support, if not enthusiasm. Or, [...]

Here We Go Again »

Round Two of the Sexism/Misogyny Palooza, courtesy of the Media and Blogosphere. Great. Just great. Like many of us are not still reeling from the HORRIBLE treatment of Senator Clinton. Yep. Just yesterday, Daily Kos and “journalists” went after Palin primarily because she is a woman, plain and simple. Check out this video(H/T to Roseeriter [...]

Transcendence and the Inconvenience of Principles »

They say you will never know what your principles are until they become inconvenient to you. Well, my principles have officially become inconvenient. Still, I find that I just cannot stand in lock step with a Party I consider to be hopelessly corrupt: a Party that conducted a phony roll call and cut the best [...]

Feeling A Little Ill »

I have to admit, I am feeling a bit ill this morning. I picked up my newspaper, and there was a lovely photo of Hillary Clinton, with the headline, “Clinton ‘proud” to back Obama.” Ugh. I know, I know, she is a sitting US Senator, and a Democratic one to boot, so yes, she HAS [...]

The Denver Group Reception »

(Photo credit: Hillary with Heidi Li Feldman at an event in Washington, D.C.) Tonight is Hillary’s night. So it’s fitting that The Denver Group held a reception prior to her speech to discuss the work being done to assure that Hillary’s delegates are allowed to vote. Although that is looking increasing unlikely, Heidi Li Feldman [...]
