Other Democrats, particularly recent Republican converts and others who fashion themselves “Libertarian Democrats,” prefer to lose, which is why they support Barack Obama. Many of these recent arrivals to my Party support him in order to climb some imaginary [...]

The science is in. And it favors what many of us have been saying and predicting for such a long time. Hillary is the strongest candidate. By far.

Hillary supporters watched with amazement and horror over the weekend as the RBC arbitrarily stole 4 Michigan delegates from Hillary, gave Obama delegates he didn’t earn, and disenfranchised 50% of Florida Democrats. The theft of delegates was blatant and illegal:

WSJ, from the section of his op-ed that lists my man Lanny Davis’s three primary arguments for nominating Hillary, here are the first sentences of each argument: First, Sen. Clinton is more experienced and qualified to be president than is Sen. Obama … Second, Sen. Clinton’s position on health care gives her an advantage over [...]

by Bud White and Medusa In 2001, Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, both respected journalists of the center-left, co-authored The Hunting of the President, a frightening look at the Right’s conspiracy to destroy the Clintons.

Jay Cost of Real Clear Politics published a series of graphs on 23 MAY that underscore the weaknesses of Barack Obama’s coalition. These graphs elucidate what we already know: Obama will lose the popular vote to John McCain in a general election; Obama is unpopular with core constituencies of the Democratic Party; and Obama will [...]

Paul Lukasiak of Corrente Wire has published an essay every Democrat and every Democratic superdelegate should read. Analyzed in Lukasiak’s rigorous and compelling essay are polling data and election returns that reveal how Democrats have abandoned Obama for Clinton since Super Tuesday.

2:40 p.m. PST UPDATE: I jumped the gun. The poll shows neither Obama or Clinton faring well against McCain — both are within the margin of error of losing to McCain. HOWEVER, I firmly believe that Californians would — with enough campaigning there by Hillary — be more included, come November, to vote for her [...]

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary [...]

Here’s a beautiful illustration of Hillary’s strength in Appalachia and Barack’s big problem in November. (Click and drag the slider to turn Appalachia blue!) The New York Times’ new columnist, Charles W. Blow, a specialist in race baiting those who support anybody but Barack, has achieved a new level of absurdity, arguing that Obama doesn’t [...]
