A media pal emailed me to suggest (I won’t say “predict” — and he wouldn’t either) that tonight will be the beginning of a Clinton comeback.
If the situations were reversed, and it would be Obama eking out a victory after weeks of being pummeled in the press, that would certainly be the case. But, and I don’t think the readers here need

This has nothing to do with anything but I believe that Ann Coulter is having some kind of seizure on the Hannity radio show right now. Her voice has reached a level of shrillness that I am worried about the windows in my home. If you guys are hungry for criticism of John McCain, you can get a fix now. Hurry, I think she’s about to

Bloggers at the Dallas Morning News notice an unusually large number of Democratic voters in GOP precincts:
I live in GOP-heavy western Allen, and walked in just behind an older man today at Green Elementary. He paused and asked an election worker what he should be doing, where he should go.
“That’s the Republican primary over there,

First of all, neither Time nor McCain paid my way to Sedona or for my stay while I was there. As I answered in a thread earlier, I put the whole thing on my personal card — though, to be totally transparent, I will likely be expensing or writing off specific items as they relate to actual stories. I don’t know what arrangements other

Here’s a piece I did for TIME.com on the Clinton campaign in the final days going into Ohio and Texas.
The intensity and energy with which Hillary Clinton has campaigned in these last few days has been remarkable. On the flight into Houston last night, after I filed this, the campaign staff had a picture session with the candidate in …
Here it is [MP3 file]. My notes follow if you want a preview of sorts. The whole thing is about an hour long… yep.
Election day in Texas! And that means… cattle?
Obama this morning took a tour of the Future Farmers of America exhibit in Houston, Texas. We’d been promised a rodeo by his handlers and had been wondering: who rides rodeo at 8:30am? Turns out no one. And, alas, Obama didn’t go near any of the prize bulls and cows being groomed by …
Just to be clear: The HRC spokespeople answered the question of whether operations in Iraq divert resources from Afghanistan very straightforwardly. She believes they do.
As for the second question:
2) If that is your position, aren’t you implying that she gets a pass on not attending those hearings simply because she didn’t give a

I asked a version of one of virginiagentleman’s terrific suggestions. I’ll post audio of it and their response as soon as I can.
His question was this:
Isn’t it hypocritical of Sen. Clinton to criticize Sen. Obama for not holding hearings on Afghanistan when she sits on the armed forces subcommittee, which held two hearings on

This is outrageous…and dangerous as well. The Maliki government allows two high-ranking, murdering crooks to go free after they–obviously–intimidate all the potential witnesses. This was a very high profile case, a real test of whether the Maliki government would insist on justice that punishes Shi’ites…in this case, Sadr-related …

Remember how the neoconservatives indulged in free-range bleating after the National Intelligence Estimate was released on Iran’s nuclear bomb program last December? It was said that the report, which held that Iran had stopped work on its bomb-building program, would undercut the crucial economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations …
Jeff Toobin, just now, on the HRC conf call, used the phrase “fouling the Democratic nest.”
I think I’m in love.
Personally, I would be happy to never listen to another one of these again, but I think The Page has the right idea in posting them for the world to hear (if they want to): Raw data has value in a world where it’s way too easy to ingest nothing but processed idea-food. So, with that in mind, here they are. (Technical note: links will
