In a savvy move, the John Edwards campaign is finally calling out the media for their almost near total blackout of his campaign since the primary season started. They’ve launched a new page called “Where is John?” that highlights the media’s near total emphasis on a two-person Hillary-Obama race in their coverage to the […]

This is a solid ad–let’s see if it gives Edwards a boost over the next 2 days (more analysis below):

No one is really speaking for the middle class, AND the millions of poor and disadvantaged in his election except John Edwards. One wishes we saw more of this vision and compassion in […]

IMHO, it’s time that all of us do our part and urge Al Gore to run for the office that he was duly elected to, the office that was effectively stolen from him, in 2000. Time magazine has a fantastic article this week showing just how popular Gore has become, that people everywhere are literally […]

The ARG numbers show Edwards and Romney making a big move in the past month.
Clinton continues to hold steady at 36 percent, while Obama has seen his numbers slip down to 24 percent. Edwards has surged from 15 to 19 percent over the past month. What’s interesting here is that there […]

Following a Town Hall on Iraq sponsored by Moveon.org, Obama and Edwards beat Hillary in a poll of over 42,000 people–in fact, Hillary finished fifth in this poll:

Obama received 27.87 percent of the vote, followed closely by former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards with 24.84 percent. A total of 42,882 MoveOn members participated in […]

In a brilliant move of media-savvy timing, the Obama campaign today released its fundraising totals, which show that Obama has raised $25 million from a stunning 100,000 donors in the first quarter of 2007, which is nearly as much as Hillary Clinton’s $26 million. Although Obama predictably has a monopoly over the big-money network […]

Apparently, the Clintons are getting a bit frustrated with the way the media appears to be favoring Barack Obama lately. Former President Bill Clinton apparently addressed the issue of pro-Obama, anti-Hillary bias off the record at a recent fundraiser talk in New York, arguing that the Times may have glossed over Obama’s initial […]

Less than two weeks after John Edwards visit to Berkeley, Barack Obama will visit the Golden State this week, and will make a stop in Oakland’s Frank Ogawa plaza on Saturday. (You can RSVP for free tickets for the event here.) Following the rally, Obama will attend a $1000 per head fundraiser at […]

Just had the chance to watch both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton speak at different churches and Selma. Frankly speaking, Obama delivered an incredible speech–one of the best speeches I’ve seen and heard, as he clearly displayed an understanding of the historic importance of the civil rights movement to our present day struggles. Hillary’s […]

Today the three Democratic front-runners will attempt to reach out to the African-American and progressive base of the Democratic party. Obama and Clinton are both making appearances in Selma, Alabama to commemorate the historic Bloody Sunday march over the Edmund Pettus bridge on March 7, 1965.
Edwards has been in California this weekend, […]
