  • TPMtv: 100 Years of Quietude?

    100 Years of Quietude?

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: John McCain won't stop trying to change the subject.  And the RNC just won't stop lying on his behalf about his 100 years in Iraq remark.  In today's episode we run through the record.  That one townhall event wasn't the only time he said this.  At other points he said 1000 years, 10,000 years, even a million years.  In other words, he was saying this all the time. Now he wants to run away from it, change the subject, change what he meant and...

  • Dems split on who should quit

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 26 2008 03:49 PM | PERMALINK

    From the Politico:

    A new Rasmussen poll shows that most Dems want the race to go on and are split on which candidate should withdraw, despite Obama’s nearly insurmountable lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates:
    Twenty-two percent (22 percent) of Democratic voters nationwide say that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that an identical number —22 percent — say that...

    Sunday Show Roundup: Fox Goes Wright After Obama

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Lotta Rev. Wright on the Sunday shows this weekend. But nothing quite matched Fox News Sunday's -- dare I say -- Jihad against Barack Obama.

    Send in The Clown

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Gerry Ferraro is catching a lot of flak these days. But here at TPM we want to thank her. It's been an exhausting primary season. And we've needed some comic relief in a big way. Saying Barack Obama was lucky to be black may only have been one more 'unfortunate' statement in a string of beauts this election cycle. But going on every show currently on the air to express her outrage at the response to her comments has simply been comedy gold. Check out some...

  • Obama diminishes Clinton’s first lady experience at his own peril

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 11 2008 02:43 PM | PERMALINK


    The Obama/Clinton campaign back and forth is getting heated, as the Obama camp released a memo calling into question Hillary Clinton’s experience.

    The memo reads:

    "When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support that claim. Hillary Clinton’s argument that she has passed 'the Commander- in-Chief test' is simply not supported by her record."

    The first half of that sounded a lot like Clinton’s line about how Obama’s candidacy is based...

  • Yes she will!

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 04 2008 11:23 PM | PERMALINK

    Coming off of a decisive victory in Ohio, Sen. Hillary Clinton approached the podium in Columbus, Ohio and was met by a roaring crowd, chanting: "Hillary! Hillary!" Clinton made her case, giving her supporters something we've heard a lot about: Hope.

    "For anyone who has been counted out but refused to be knocked out…this one is for you." Clinton continued: "You know what they say, as Ohio goes, so goes the nation. This nation is coming back and so is this campaign."

    The crowd errupted, in what has become...

  • Clinton Takes Ohio

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 04 2008 10:22 PM | PERMALINK

    The major networks just called the race for Sen. Hillary Clinton with a 16 percent margin. Heralded as a must-win and a Democratic bellweather state, she carried Ohio 57% to 41%, despite being outspent 3-1 by Obama. Clinton held her base of core Democratic voters, which is sure to raise questions on Obama's electability with rank and file Democrats. The final voting totals are still being tallied up, and the margin can still shift slightly.

    Barack Obama is the projected winner of the Vermont Primary.

  • Clinton's thematic argument

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 04 2008 03:27 PM | PERMALINK


    It’s down to the wire for Hillary Clinton. Or is it? Many, including her husband, said she has to win both Texas and Ohio, but it now seems that she’ll probably go on if she only carries Ohio. This morning, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Clinton advisor Terry Mcauliffe
    said his candidate will win Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, and so far, according to today’s polls, it looks pretty good for her. The tides may be turning. But let’s back up for a minute. Journalists like Jonathan Alter are arguing that it’s...

  • Is the media dealing Hillary the gender card?

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, FEBRUARY 29 2008 02:36 PM | PERMALINK

    Dog whistles must be sounding off because the media is finally acknowledging the idea that there is a media bias for Barack Obama after Hillary Clinton cited a recent SNL skit at Tuesday’s debate, which depicted journalists fawning over her opponent.

    In “Hillary haters don’t need a sexist crutch,” Boston Herald columnist Margery Eagan accepts that such a bias exists, but refutes the notion that sexism, plays into “Hillary hating”--it's more like people just can't stand the woman. Eagan writes:
