How George and Now Barack Mirror Our American Psychenew
When Barack Obama claimed his victory in Chicago's Grant Park, he thanked many people. But the one name missing from the list was the man who perhaps did the most to win Obama the presidency: George W. Bush. More than anyone else, he showed the disastrous downside of being born rich, white and well-connected.

The GOP Puts All its Political Eggs in the Specious Attack Basketnew
Whether the event -- real or cooked up -- is a sexual indiscretion, tenuous association with someone with an unsavory past or extremist religious views, Democrats seem to get stuck and their GOP counterparts are able to just slip-slide their slimy way through the muck. Why is that?

Obama Faces Stiff Competition for Center Stage at His Own Nominationnew
He undoubtedly has to give Clinton a chance to deliver a prime-time speech and, no matter how nice she is to Obama, she (and not he) will be the focus of that evening's broadcast. Add in Bill Clinton and the ailing Ted Kennedy, and you can see why Obama took the final night speech to another venue.

Why Sean Hannity is Unpatrioticnew
It might be easy to dismiss Hannity as a mere hypocrite, but he's actually something much worse. He puts the Republican Party first and has no qualms about putting our troops in harm's way and policing the world so long as the sheriff's badge reads "GOP."

With Senator Barack Obama winning the Democratic presidential nomination, and with a definite power shift within the party that's moving away from Bill and Hillary Clinton, political observers are already wondering if Burkle -- a top-echelon supporter of the Clintons -- will end up some kind of loser.

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.

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.
