Today on the Trail: We’ll Sign Up When They Sign Down

By wpcomimportuser5 | May 16, 2007 | +

Today on the Trail is a compendium of notable campaign events. It is pulled together by the faceless Swampland Intern in exchange for scraps of bread.

Almost-candidate Chuck Hagel discusses “America’s Role In The World” at the Center for National Policy in Washington.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards & Bill Richardson meet with the executives of the American Federation of Teachers to answer questions culled from the membership.

Joe Biden has his AFL-CIO town hall in Opa Locka, Fla. (Video from Obama’s similar event on Monday is here.)

Mitt Romney “Signs Up America” in Boston, Mass.

And this morning, John McCain went to breakfast fundraiser hosted by Henry Kravis, again, attendees had to have raised $9200. Those who hoped to get a glimpse of Kravis’s lavish apartment (satirized in “Bonfire of the Vanities”), however, were disappointed: The breakfast was at the office.

The Story of Ron Paul’s Presidential Candidacy as Told by His Supporters in Our Comments Section

Most people have hobbies: golf, model trains, restoring old cars, whatever. A year after Ron Paul announced his Republican presidential bid, I have concluded that his supporters must not do these things. They can’t possibly have the time. While others are at rest or at play, Paul’s supporters are on the Internet, googling his name and diving into the comments sections of news articles to register their opinions.

Bashing Bain: Why Obama’s New Attacks on Romney Might Not Work

The much-heralded and long-awaited Obama campaign media attack on Mitt Romney began Monday with a reporter conference call and the release of two videos bemoaning the pain caused after Romney’s former private equity firm, Bain Capital, took over a Missouri steel company called GST Steel. The effort is textbook negative politics, from the sympathetic white working class steel men bemoaning their lost careers to the talk about “values” and the shots of lonely industrial wastelands left by the collective failure of Romney, Bain and GST.
