The Clinton-Obama contest is like a 15-round heavyweight title bout in boxing.
Hillary went for an early knockout. All previous Democratic races since 1960 have been decided that way, with one candidate winning decisive primaries, forcing his opponents to withdraw. But Obama beat her to the punch in Iowa, survived a loss in New Hampshire, and [...]

Broadway Baby was not mentioned during the Democratic infighting in Pennsylvania.
But Broadway Baby—once a chic children’s boutique in Manhattan’s Upper West Side—is the future, if Barack Obama is the presidential candidate in the fall.
This story involves two Chicagoans, former Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bernardine Dohrn and her husband, William Ayers, both Obama supporters who blessed [...]

People who live in glass mansions really shouldn’t throw stones.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has pinned her final hopes on yet another Hail Mary strategy, accusing Barack Obama of being an elitist who’s out of touch with the American people.
This from a woman who lived rent-free in government housing - great mansions, no less - for most [...]

What will a Hillary Clinton presidency look like?
The answer by now seems obvious: It will look like her presidential campaign, which in turn looks increasingly like the first Clinton presidency. Which is to say, high-minded ideals, lowered execution, half truths, outright lies (and imaginary flights), take-no prisoners politics, some very good policy ideas, a [...]

Clinton’s cynical distortion of Obama’s remarks is in keeping with her campaign’s modus operandi. On the foreign policy front, we’ve been fed a steady diet of her RNC-patented attacks: No Democrat can be trusted with national security — except her. Obama hasn’t crossed the threshold to be commander-in-chief. Etc.
Now she’s turned to the domestic policy [...]

Sen. Clinton got $18,600 in campaign contributions from Alan Gerry, a former cable television mogul and registered Republican, days after she made a million dollar earmark for his Woodstock Concert Museum. It was included in a Senate education spending bill. It’s neither illegal nor unusual for contributors to benefit from congressionally directed spending. Far too [...]

In the days and weeks ahead, the Barack Obama campaign is going to pose a simple question to the undecided voters and undeclared superdelegates who will decide the Democratic nomination for president: If Hillary Clinton can’t run a good primary campaign, how is she ever going to run a good campaign against the Republicans?

Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, said Sunday that the leader for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Barack Obama, would be “absolutely” qualified to be president, should the voters elect him. But, he said, “I believe that my talent and my background and my experience, which has led to my judgment, … qualifies [...]

Barack Obama has inspired many people in his campaign for the Democratic Party’s nomination for President. While there is still plenty of campaigning to do in order to nail down the nomination, it’s never too early to speculate on a Vice Presidential candidate to fill out the Obama ticket.

For supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton, like me, it’s time to get behind her rival, Senator Barack Obama.
The exposure of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.’s outrageous and divisive remarks has injected the raw emotions associated with race relations into the presidential campaign. This new dynamic raises the stakes in an already high-stakes race. Our responsibility [...]
