Hillary is Looking Like a Sore Loser, Not a Leadernew
What I find most troubling is Clinton's hypocrisy and disengenuousness. Now she's insisting on "counting all the votes," which is code for counting all the votes in Michigan and Florida. Clinton and her campaign advisers were all for shutting out those two states when it appeared she wouldn't need their votes.

The Most Important Quality in a 2008 VP Candidate: Don't Be Cheneynew
"Anybody but Cheney" in 2008 can be taken symbolically as well as literally. Obama and McCain should not pick people who given the chance would take the country in exactly the opposite direction the people want it to go and that the candidate promised it would go.

How McCain Supporters Skewed the Texas Democratic Party Resultsnew
McCain supporters, our poll reveals, made up 9.4 percent of the total vote in the primary. Clinton's margin of victory was only 3.5 percent. We can't say that the McCain ringers in the Democratic primary changed the outcome, because we don't know for whom they actually voted in March. But it is clearly possible.

Why is Somalia (Hannah Montana Nude) in Crisis?new
Because of the seriousness of your predicament, Somalia, I'm gonna recommend that you use the principles of SEO in a way search engine operators really hate. I want you to cheat the system by changing the way you describe people, places and events in your country so they resemble the names of popular search terms. Trust me, it's gonna work wonders for you.

Hillary, It's Time to Say Goodnightnew
As entertaining -- and at times compelling -- as the Clintons' star turn as feisty underdogs out to beat the odds has been, it is wearing thin. So when the primary season closes on June 3, that'll be candidate Clinton's cue to exit the race.

Pondering the Democratic Map of the Intermountain Westnew
With this year's Democratic presidential nomination fight now going all the way to the June 3 Montana primary, and with the Democratic National Convention set for Denver in August, things are about to get real Western around here. As the growing West starts to flex its political muscles, the impacts may well be felt in the general election in a way that they haven't been before.

Obama Would Bring a Community Organizer's Unique Perspective to the White Housenew
We've had bandleaders, haberdashers, generals, diplomats, farmers and professors in the White House, but as far as I can tell, we've never had an organizer. What would it be like? Very different, I think.

Why Does the Blogosphere Hate Bush?new
Bush will not be regarded as a top-tier president by historians -- although the verdict, I believe, won't be as severe as is currently bandied about. After all, he'll ultimately compared to the likes of James Buchanan, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover.

The Week McCain's Not-So-Straight Talk Met Clinton's Funny Number-Crunchingnew
During the same week that Barack Obama clinched the majority of pledged Democratic Party delegates, the presidential mash-up was more frenzied than ever. It was a knockdown, blood-on-the-floor, caged grudge match between Clinton and McCain to see who could more brutally beat the American process into utter stupidity.
