Today the American Association for Public Opinion Research Ad Hoc Committee on the 2008 Presidential Primary Polling released a pdf report on the methodologies utilized by pollsters during the Democratic primaries. It is a long report, and a cursory analysis of it is available at Pollster.com. Much of the report focuses on the discrepancy between [...]

From The Guardian‘s “New Yorker’s plane snub over Obama ‘terrorist’ cartoon“: The [New Yorker] article’s author, Ryan Lizza, would have expected to secure one of the 40 press places on Obama’s tour this week but was told no space was available. Writing on the Huffington Post, media blogger Rachel Sklar said: “So it’s gonna be [...]

The phrases that come to mind? How about: Petty, Small and Vindictive … Nobama for The New Yorker … No Room on Obama’s Virgin Air One … Nein Wilkommen! By shutting out the New Yorker correspondent, is Obama engaging in a nasty little act of getting even, demonstrating contempt for a free press, or is [...]

The recent article in the New Yorker about Barack Obama’s rise in Chicago politics has been overshadowed, of course, by the controversy surrounding the satirical cover illustration of the same issue. This is unfortunate in that the piece has much good information about Obama’s past. Although it is still far too fawning with respect to [...]

Do we really want to nominate a candidate we have to protect, or someone who is going to protect us? With the collapse of IndyMac and Bear Stearns, mounting home foreclosures, a tanking economy and no end in sight in Iraq, we need someone far smarter and more knowledgeable than we are on matters of [...]

All over a cartoon. A satirical cartoon at that. The one Obama didn’t care about before he cared about it. Yes, I am referring to the cover of the New Yorker which dared to depict The Emperor and Empress Obama in anything less than a devotional homage. How DARE they?!? Never mind that the cartoon [...]

The absolutely brilliant cover of this week’s New Yorker magazine has progressive Internet sites up in arms. (Check out Memeorandum.com‘s tracking of the flood of blog posts.) For example, at dailykos.com over 1,400 comments have been made in less than two hours about the topic, “OMG and WTF, have you seen this?” The cartoon shows [...]

To whom? To Bill Clinton of course. So, do I think Barack has the backbone to apologize to President Clinton and seek his help? No. Barack’s immaturity and arrogance remain major obstacles to him taking the steps he needs to build a bridge to Bill Clinton. But if he wants to be President he will [...]

Well at least, we now know that he suffers from a neurological disease. He also suffers from CDS, Clinton Deranged Syndrome, another affliction that seems highly contagious these days. Perhaps it was only an epidemic but my sense is that it is a virus with no known cure. Pity, because the Clinton health care plan [...]

Roger Stone, respected, hated, and always controversial Republican political knife fighter and commentator for Fox News, has given new credence to Larry Johnson’s reporting of a video of Michelle Obama making racist comments against whites. Is Roger Stone to be believed? Obamabots, bewildered by their devastating streak of losses but hopeful of the delegate stealing [...]

The essay below was written by Mary Jo Kopechne, PhD, and Bud White. Sen Obama should drop out of the race. Having just seen the new attack ad that the GOP is showing in NC — condemning the state’s Democratic leadership for backing Obama, replete with Rev Wright cursing America — it is clear that [...]

One’s jaw drops when reading this paragraph in the New Yorker‘s profile of Michelle Obama: From these bleak generalities, Obama moves into specific complaints. Used to be, she will say, that you could count on a decent education in the neighborhood. But now there are all these charter schools and magnet schools that you have [...]
