  • The audacity of Elizabeth Edwards

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, APRIL 28 2008 03:49 PM | PERMALINK

    Before I write about today's big Rev. Wright story, I have to highlight Elizabeth Edwards' op-ed in this weekend's New York Times. It may seem a bit ironic to praise an article that is critical of the media and the kind of yellow journalism that seems to thrive day in and day out--mostly because we are all guilty of reveling in it--but I'm going to do it anyway.

    We've all whined about how the coverage of the Dem race has often veered away from the issues, regardless of whom you support for...

  • An op-ed from the Clinton campaign

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, APRIL 25 2008 07:42 PM | PERMALINK

    In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Clinton strategist Geoff Garin defends his campaign, and asserts that it has been the Obama camp that has fought dirty in this election. After providing some examples, Garin concludes the following:

    The bottom line is that one campaign really has engaged in a mean-spirited, unfair character attack on the other candidate -- but it has been Obama's campaign, not ours. You would be hard-pressed to find significant analogues from our candidate, our senior...

  • Has “Yes we can” become “No she can’t”?

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, APRIL 25 2008 03:30 PM | PERMALINK

    In today’s New York Times, Paul Krugman takes a critical look at why Obama has yet to win over white working class voters. It is this very problem that keeps Obama from winning those big important states. But why can't Obama get those votes?

    Krugman sweeps the notion under the rug that Hillary Clinton’s negative campaigning is the reason Barack Obama keeps falling short.

    According to many Obama supporters, it’s all Hillary’s fault. If she hadn’t launched all those vile, negative attacks on their...

  • Michigan may be Clinton's key to victory

    While Hillary Clinton was sewing up a win in Pennsylvania, she was also clandestinely amassing delegates in Michigan. In an op-ed, the Detroit News asserts that none of the remaining states will decide this race, and it is because of this, that Michigan will be Clinton’s secret weapon. Detroit Free News:

    On Aug. 25, Clinton will march into the national convention in Denver stronger than most people realize, thanks to her aggressive ground game in Michigan.

    Buoyed by party elder support,...

  • Elizabeth Edwards may support Hillary in N.C.

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, APRIL 22 2008 11:38 PM | PERMALINK

    Elizabeth Edwards may show up at one of Hillary Clinton's events in North Carolina, according to Newsweek's Howard Fineman. Fineman said he didn't think John Edwards would endorse either candidate, however.

    This news comes after a stunning 10 percentage point victory in Pennsylvania for Clinton over Obama, despite Clinton being outspent in Pennsylvania 3-1. Since the Pa. win was declared, MSNBC reports that the Clinton campaign has raised $2.5 million in just a few hours.

    Regardless, Clinton's path to...

  • For some Americans, democracy is a promise unfulfilled

    That headline is the gist of today's editorial written by The New Republic entitled, "Voting block." The article takes a serious look at the disenfranchisement of not only Michigan and Florida voters, but also ex-felons, who in most states, cannot vote. What is striking is that some Dems. don't even seemed to be concerned about leaving out Michigan and Florida, despite the fact that 1 in 10 Americans hails from either state. Because it looks like Clinton is going to pull off a reasonable win...
