Just in case anyone was worried, Obama’s in good health and has been since 1987. The campaign just put out a letter from his primary physician, Dr. David Scheiner of Hyde Park. Curious folks can see the letter after the jump. Apparently he’s still chewing Nicorette gum.
Following up on Joe’s post.
In a brief interview with the New York Times yesterday Obama said he’s considering a trip to Iraq when he secures the nomination. This seemed to bow to GOP pressure after the RNC started a clock on its website counting the days Obama hasn’t been to Iraq (872) and McCain lambasted Obama for not accepting …
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.
So, what exactly will the much anticipated Rules & Bylaws Committee be discussing this Saturday in Washington? Some juicy tidbits from the schedule being circulated:
Florida has two challenges before the committee, one to reinstate its superdelegates as the state contends that the committee did not have the jurisdiction to remove those …
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 to fight for her seat at the table. …
Guess who skipped today’s Senate vote on Webb/Hagel’s G.I. Bill?
Here’s a web story on Kennedy’s very full plate. In researching about brain tumors I came across some interesting, if not terribly relevant to Kennedy’s case, tidbits from the Senate Historian’s Office. There have been at least two other senators this century who also suffered from tumors, unfortunately both died in office.
The …
Commentator Mike M. got me thinking from his posts last week about Obama’s so-called white voter problem. Obama has won non-college educated white voters in other states, notably Wisconsin. And the campaign is always quick to point out he’s also won states like Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Maine. He clearly does have a problem, but …
Or rather, if a presidential candidate, or this case spouse, holds an event without press, did it happen? It’s bad enough being late – like the two hours late Edwards usually ran – but somehow it’s even worse being early. People who show up on time are disappointed to have missed the event. And press have no video, no sound and …
A story today on Kennedy. We hope he recovers.
However unwittingly. A wrap up of the week’s appeasement drama for your weekend enjoyment.
Here’s a short story I wrote for the web on Obama’s flag pin. Obama commented further on it last night en route from Grand Rapids back to Chicago, saying: “You know I started wearing it again at that veteran’s event because once again I had been handed the flag by a veteran who said it was important. This is an issue that is a …
He may not be a superdelegate, but John Edwards could certainly help Obama out with that white working class problem. AP says Edwards is endorsing Obama tonight and there is this chartered flight Edwards was rumored to be seen boarding from Raleigh, North Carolina to Grand Rapids, Michigan (in case you’re really board and wanna watch …
