The most eye-opening experience for me during this election has been the realization that the Left can be just as mendacious and bigoted as the Right. Obama’s comments about “bitter” Pennsylvania voters was symptomatic of a bigotry towards low-income whites which is much in vogue with the Left. Randy Rhodes’ comments about Hillary’s voters being [...]

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. [...]

Tonight I have the honor of interviewing Bob Shrum. His book, No Excuses, is just out in paperback and it’s candy for the political junkie. If you love politics, you’ll love this book. I’ll be asking him about his political war stories. I also want to get his thoughts on this recent primary campaign and [...]

Recently, I wrote about how similar Obama’s supporters are to those of George McGovern–channeling the nastiest of their offensive characteristics and philosophies. In McGovern’s case, it led to one of the biggest bashings in a General Election in history, save for Mike Dukakis. But I will save Dukakis for another day.
There have been many discussions [...]

I was thinking yesterday about how I was a stupid angsty kid during the McGovern race. I remember being in love with George, no kidding. He was the cat’s ass to me. George was the next best thing to a 5-hosed hookah. I remember looking at Richard Nixon and thinking, yeesh what a miserable old [...]

Dorothea LANGE, “Migrant Mother,” 1936
A friend paraphrases a famous story to illustrate why she may vote Republican for the first time in 40 years: in the late 1960s, when the feminist movement was still thought of as a novelty, a boorish male reporter asked the heterosexual Gloria Steinem if she was a lesbian. Steinem responded, [...]

Obama is attempting to take control of the progressive infrastructure built over the last 15 years. Ben Smith reports that Obama is seeking to essentially shutdown outside progressive groups and funnel their funding to his campaign:
Senator Barack Obama’s campaign is steering the candidate’s wealthy supporters away from independent Democratic groups, calling into question what had [...]

Recently, No Quarter has had a rash of Obama supporters who have been dispatched to Make Nicey-Nicey. To add insult to injury, they are really bad at it. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Then we have those who don’t bother to hide their disdain, thrilled to stalk us after [...]

Please witness why it’s always nice to get some experience in life before you leave the Little League and become a “strategist”, Mmm-Kay? And always remember, the one who screetches using the highest octaves always wins by sheer head explosion, even without the nervous laughs.
Flavia, here’s your head on a plate. Study. Learn.

Loser ‘Droid Jimmy Carter
to the states of Michigan and Florida:
DROP DEAD!
The former president tells Jay Leno Wednesday night that the two states’ delegations should not be seated at August’s convention because they “disqualified themselves.”
“It would be a catastrophe for the party.” (Via Mark Halperin’s blog)
So here’s the new logo for the Democratic party convention, via [...]

The Clinton Team has a message for America after Pennsylvania, and it’s not spin. It’s a serious question every American and every Democrat should be asking: Why didn’t Obama win Pennsylvania?
But after the Obama campaign’s “go-for-broke” Pennsylvania strategy, after their avalanche of negative ads, negative mailers and negative attacks against Sen. Clinton, after their [...]

What a stroke of luck!
I found a recent interview with George McGovern, the man who went down in history as one of the biggest Presidential election losers in history. George, you see, was loved, revered, worshipped by every child in America. He was like a Rock Star! Sound familiar?
Everyone who turned 18 that year couldn’t [...]
