A couple of days ago I blogged about this CTV story that the Obama campaign had reassured the Canadian government the Illinois Senator’s populist rhetoric on NAFTA was simply for the primaries and that Canada shouldn’t worry. At the time, both the Canada government and the Obama campaign vehemently denied the story. Turns out, thanks [...]
Following up on Karen’s post. The program at Westerville Central High began an hour late, due, in part to Obama’s tardiness from this morning and to the time it took for him to greet inside and outside overflow supporters here. Yesterday, the campaign ran out of the 1,700 tickets they allotted for this “smaller” town [...]
This is an unbelievable (and not in a good sense) editorial by Charlotte Allen in the Washington Post today. The basic gist: women are silly for liking Obama and expressing it (or expressing enthusiasm in general for anything). Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate and women on the whole are dumb. Two excepts: Take Sen. [...]
For anyone who thinks this race might be a tie, and yes, David Axelrod, that includes you, there’s a lot of evidence today that Obama is now the frontrunner. He leads in number of states won, he leads by his own campaign’s tally in pledged delegates, he is so far ahead in the money race [...]
Senator Barack Obama cast his vote in his hometown of Hyde Park, IL today, quipping: “It was close but in the end I went for Obama.” He then paused to answer a couple of questions for reporters. He played down expectations, but in the end predicted that no clear winner will emerge from today’s voting. [...]
I was struck a few days ago by the blunt admission by Hillary’s California field director to me in an interview that HRC focuses her outreach, not only in California but in most states, almost exclusively on women. Which explains Obama’s feminine offensive yesterday with Michelle, Oprah, Caroline Kennedy and Maria Shriver, not to mention [...]
So Edwards isn’t ruling out endorsing anybody. But that statement from the campaign can be translated into: Edwards isn’t ruling out endorsing Hillary and the Inside the Beltway rumor mill abounds with speculation. It is a prospect that I find incredibly surprising, though, since he’s spent the last several months talking about how he and [...]
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 [...]
