Liberal Talk Radio

I recommend reading James Fallows and Josh Marshall on the ridiculousness of the ABC Democratic Debate tuesday night.
Of course, the debate was watched by some 10 million people, the most of any debate thusfar. No doubt ABC will offer this statistic as “proof” that the questions were valid, conveniently ignoring the fact that people [...]

As seemingly every Times columnist this week argued against Clinton continuing the charade, several of us wondered where Clinton apologist Paul Krugman stood on the matter. Now we know:
Mr. McCain, we’re told, is a straight-talking maverick. But on domestic policy, he offers neither straight talk nor originality; instead, he panders shamelessly to right-wing ideologues.

A new site that will do for political media consultants what Redfin did for real-estate agents:
Political campaign season is upon us and that means one thing: really bad political ads on TV. There are 50,000 public elections every year in the United States. And an estimated $3 billion will be spent on political [...]

The West Blogosphere and Democrats are in an unbelievable tizzy about Obama’s race speech, trying to figure out what it all means and whether it’s good or bad for Obama, and good or bad for Democrats, and what was he thinking talking to voters like adults (thank you Jon Stewart, for calling it what it [...]

Anyone seen the movie Election with Reese Witherspoon? Yeah, I’m gonna go there.  That’s pretty much how Hillary makes me feel right now.
HRC is trying to make the argument it was Obama’s “choice” not to participate in Michigan.  Here’s what I think was  maybe a dialogue among the [...]

They’re baaack…

A. Tom, awesome catch on that all-important Sinbad angle. And what’s even worse about the Clinton campaign? The fact that they’re mobilizing their Rapid Response Team against freakin’ Sinbad. I mean, these people are desperate:
Defending Clinton’s characterization of her Bosnia mission, campaign spokesman Phil Singer kindly provided experts from news stories written about the trip [...]
