When Obama invoked the specter of Cesar Chavez this week in a rally with the Culinary Workers Union in Nevada by proclaiming “Si Se Puede!” — Chavez’s legendary rallying cry — I was surprised. After all, the United Farm Workers, Chavez’s organization, had endorsed Hillary in May.
So I called an old acquaintance from college, …
But settles for Dancing with the Stars instead.
When asked about which reality show she’d participate in while appearing on the Tyra Banks Show (Banks also host’s America’s Next top Model) Hillary said:

In an unusual pre-emptive conference call with reporters the Obama campaign today defended his series of “present” votes on abortion measures in the Illinois State Senate.

If the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s 100 Club dinner is any bell weather – Barack Obama will handily win here. When Obama, the dinner’s last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting “O-bam-a” and “Fired Up, Ready to Go!” So many people pressed toward the stage that an announcer asked people to “please …
