I had a drink yesterday with a smart Democrat mega-donor. I got a little lost looking for him in one the Big Cheese hotels and stopped in the bar. I wound up talking to a decent assortment of smart political types, ranging from a cagey former statewide office-holder in a very key swing state, to [...]
Just heard Obama Manager David Plouffe’s view of the world at a groovy TIME magazine event. I’ll post some thoughts on it a bit later. But for now, a quick review of last night’s Hillary speech and a dire prediction about tomorrow’s planned spectacular at Invesco field. Hillary gave the best speech of her career. [...]
Amid reports that the Clintons’ are none-too-keen on Obama right now, the campaign announced that Hillary will campaign for Obama in Nevada this Friday and Florida later in the month. These will be the first public events Clinton will do for Obama since their Unity, New Hampshire rally. Clinton, who will be in south Florida [...]
It may require more work, but if you’re the top e-mail recruiter for Ralph Nader, you can win dinner with him. No word if airfare is included, but runner up gets dinner with his running mate Matt Gonzales. For a donation of just $5 or more you can enter to win airfare to Denver, a [...]
In a move bound to reignite speculation that Hillary might be offered the vice presidential slot, the Obama campaign announced that none other than Patti Solis Doyle, Clinton’s former campaign manager, would be “chief of staff to the vice presidential nominee.” A complete list of other senior positions they announced today is after the jump.

Also, response from Obama, who went golfing this morning (who knew he golfed?): “Obviously, I am thrilled and honored to have Senator Clinton’s support. But more than that, I honor her today for the [...]
Returning to the Senate after a presidential campaign can be, well, awkward. A webstory out today on the landscape Hillary might face if/when she returns to the Senate.
But I found it a glaring omission in last night’s debate that trade was not addressed at all. The moderators managed to dwell on why Obama doesn’t wear a lapel pin but there was nary a mention of the collapse of Columbian Colombian Free Trade deal in Congress (or the fact that Mark Penn had [...]
Hillary kicked off the press conference she just had with an April Fools gag: “I just want to take a moment to say that this has been a very hard fought race each of us is drawing enormous support. We clearly need to do something,” she said in a somber tone. “Today I am challenging [...]
What could be more alluring for Democratic presidential candidates three weeks ahead of the Pennsylvania primary than a gathering of the Keystone States AFL-CIO unions? While many have endorsed Clinton (Obama has the backing of the Change to Win unions that broke away from the AFL-CIO after the last presidential cycle) both candidates are expected [...]
