Yesterday, Hillary Clinton endorsed Barack Obama. The speech she delivered was nothing short of amazing. Now, I am obviously a supporter of Senator Obama, and have been throughout the primary season. I will admit, that over the last six months I've sometimes criticized the words and tactics of the...

Obama clinches nomination, Clinton open to VP slot

nobody@vox.com(Obama-vox) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 21:41:49 +0000

Barack Obama clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, becoming the first black candidate to lead a major party into a campaign for the White House. Vanquished rival Hillary Rodham Clinton swiftly signaled an interest in joining the ticket as his running mate. Obama arranged a victory celebration in St. Paul, Minn., at the site of this summer's Republican National Convention - an in-your-face gesture to Sen. John McCain, who will be his opponent in the race to become the nation's 44th president.

Senator Clinton, You Have Gone Too Far

The words that spurred tonight's commentary by Keith: "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it." --Senator Hillary...

The Obama campaign has announced a "major national endorsement" for a rally tonight at 7pm in Michigan, and the rumor mill is swirling that it is none other than Sen. John Edwards.

Ready to hope?"CNN's Mike Roselli and Suzanne Malveaux have confirmed that former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will endorse Barack Obama at a Michigan campaign event about an hour from now. Obama will come on stage in Grand Rapids and say he has a special guest to introduce, followed by the appearance of Edwards himself.

MyDD :: John McCain's Cabinet - Just Like Bush's

nobody@vox.com(TruthTeller998) — Mon, 05 May 2008 00:59:16 +0000

One of the most effective charges that can be leveled against George W. Bush - beyond the ineptitude, lawbreaking, and destructive policies - is that he surrounded himself with the wrong people. They were either hopelessly incompetent (Condoleezza Rice), completely surrounded by conflicts of interest (Donald Rumsfeld), or simply evil (Dick Cheney - no link required). In fact, of the nine most trusted advisers Bush brought up from Texas with him in 2000, all of them have now resigned in disgrace.

I’ve gotten a lot of criticism lately whenever I do a post about the primary, and, specifically, about misogynistic language or sexist framing used to tear down Hillary Clinton. Invariably, someone accuses (and it’s always an accusation) me of being ...
