Am I the only one who has suffered chillls down the spine after reading the latest ARG poll out of South Dakota? You know, the one that says Clinton 60, Obama 34? This is an outlier with other polls, which have shown slim Obama leads. And ARG has not had a good record this campaign. [...]

By proposing the gas tax holiday, an idea only a fool or an ignoramus could take seriously, Hillary Clinton has advertised to the world that she thinks her voters are easy marks.

HRC on Face the Nation, 2005:
Senator McCain made the point earlier today, which I agree with, and that is, it’s not so much a question of time when it comes to American military presence for the average American; I include myself in this. But it is a question of casualties.
We don’t want to see our young men and women dying and suffering these grievous injuries
that so many of them have. We’ve been in South Korea for 50-plus years. We’ve been in
Europe for 50-plus. We’re still in Okinawa with respect to protection there coming out of
World War II.

For going on eight years now, we have had a White House that profoundly believes that politics trumps reality, and that the Presidency carrries with it the right and the obligation to ignore inconvenient facts. People in the Bush White House say things like: We believe the presidency requires leadership. There are times that a [...]

What did she know, and when did she know it, about Sid Blumenthal’s emails? And what does his conduct say about her managerial capacity and competence as a judge of character?

Contra Krugman, there’s a good campaign parallel between health care and climate change.
