The Wall Street Journal is reporting that on Monday, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota will endorse Barack Obama for President, following the major endorsement of Bob Casey last week in Pennsylvania.
What’s more, the same article reports that the entire Democratic North Carolina House delegation–seven superdelegates–will also announce their support for Obama tomorrow. Obama is now […]

The Obama campaign released a memo today highlighting Hillary Clinton’s series of exaggerations from the stump this campaign season. Clinton’s exaggerations, including the Bosnia-Tuzla “sniper fire” story now exposed by the media, severely undermine the argument that she has the experience to be ready to lead from day one. What’s even more damaging […]

According to Peter Baker of the Washington Post, it may, by shifting the message of the presidential race back to the earlier sex scandals of the Clinton White House:

For a supporter, New York Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer (D) sure hasn’t done Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) any favors lately.
After all, it was Spitzer who, in […]

SUSA shows Obama leading Clinton 49 to 41 in North Carolina among Democratic voters in the Tar Heel State, which has 134 delegates.
What’s remarkable about these numbers is that Obama leads Clinton among women 47 to 44, though this is partially a function of Obama’s large lead among African-American voters. A big […]

With 78% of precincts reporting, Obama leads Clinton 58 to 40, and has a 60,000+ lead in the popular vote (approx 183,000 to 123,000) in Mississippi.
Add that to Obama’s existing 600,000 vote lead in the popular vote nationally (actually larger if you include caucus totals), and after tonight, Obama will have a 660,000 (or […]

It’s about time the Obama campaign set the record straight:

RE: Senator Clinton’s claim to be experienced in foreign policy: Just words?
DA: March 11, 2008
When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support […]

An interesting article from the Telegraph that’s definitely worth a read today, that again calls into question the substantive accomplishments of Hillary Clinton in foreign policy. Lord Trimble, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work bringing peace to Northern Ireland had this to say about Clinton’s involvement:
“I don’t know there was […]

It turns out that Obama won more delegates in the Texas “two step” primary and caucus yesterday, given Clinton’s razor-thin margin in the primary (51-48), and Obama’s commanding lead in the Texas caucuses: 56 to 44.
According to the Austin Statesman, Obama is projected to win 3 more delegates than Hillary out of Texas. […]

The Clinton campaign today indicated that they would release their tax returns on or around April 15, which effectively means that most voters until then won’t get to see them, and it’s quite likely that they will be released so close to the Pennsylvania primary on April 22 that there won’t be adequate time to […]

I’ve been making phone calls for Obama all weekend to voters in Texas, and I think it’s going to be a really close election tonight in the Lone Star State.
For all of you who are anxiously awaiting exit polls and are nervous about tonight and can’t focus on other things, why not make […]
