I am increasingly mystified by this whole debate, which I’m sure some people will see as a sign I’ve been inside the Beltway for way too long. But I pretty much agree with this.
In the last four months I’ve seen Michelle Obama speak close to a dozen times. From her early days out in South Carolina just after she’d joined the campaign full time till this past week in Kentucky, her message has evolved. Back in Columbia she talked a lot about her own experiences, how she had [...]
From the Washington Post’s account of yesterday’s confirmation hearings for David Petraeus and Ray Odierno: Pressed by Sen. James Webb (D-Va.) on what the “endpoint” of U.S. involvement in Iraq should be, Odierno said the goal is a self-reliant, stable government that can protect the country and improve citizens’ lives. “So how long do you [...]
When the voting is over on June 3, she is not likely to get what she really wants.

UNION CITY, Calif. — This morning’s event was called a “roundtable” discussion, but the table John McCain sat at was actually shaped like the wings of a B-2 Bomber–two rectangles jutting out at an obtuse angle. As promised, however, there was a lot of give and take between McCain and his fellow panelists, which included [...]
Obama thinks so. In an unorthodox move, Obama scolded McCain on the issue from the floor of the Senate today: “I respect Sen. John McCain’s service to our country. He is one of those heroes of which I speak. But I can’t understand why he would line up behind the President in his opposition to [...]
Guess who skipped today’s Senate vote on Webb/Hagel’s G.I. Bill?
Desperate to get attention for her cause to seat Florida and Michigan delegates, Hillary Clinton compared the plight of Zimbabweans in their recent fraudulent election to the uncounted votes of Michigan and Florida voters saying it is wrong when “people go through the motions of an election only to have them discarded and disregarded.” “We’re [...]
