    Ground Hound Corrine hits Vegas as volunteers from all over the country hit Las Vegas, preparing for today's caucus. Their earnest dedication to politics clashes with the outsider perception of Vegas. Michelle Obama, appearing with Senator John Kerry, moves one supporter to tears.

    Obama: No Cash From Denzel, Spike, Motown, Despite Oprah Backing  [FOX]   Oprah Winfrey’s backing of Barack Obama for president hasn’t influenced a lot of other heavy hitting black celebrities to join her yet.  Her two most favorite authors, Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, have not opened their pocketbooks yet for Obama. (Angelou has traditionally been a Clinton supporter.)   Neither has Spike Lee nor Denzel Washington, although the latter’s wife Pauletta sent Obama $2,300. Motown founder Berry Gordy,...

  • Primary Programming on Veracifier

    POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, DECEMBER 26 2007 11:19 PM | PERMALINK

    As we're all getting ready for the primaries, we've got people on the ground all over the country ready to blog for us, too.  This week and next you'll hear from Jonathan Backer in Iowa, who is on the ground with the Dodd campaign. 

    They posted this clip of Jonathan on their website and much like they are, we're excited to have Jonathan on board to cover the January 3 caucuses.

    Immediately following the Iowa primaries, we'll be going straight to New Hampshire where Wake Up America's...

  • Does Rudy Really Want it?

    POSTED BY KEVIN BRANNON, DECEMBER 24 2007 12:02 PM | PERMALINK



    Not only is it starting to look a lot like Chtistmas, it's starting to look a lot like 2000--at least for Rudy Giuliani.  In this New York Times piece from November by Adam  Nagourney, aids close to the former New York City mayor speculated that there was more to Rudy's decision to withdraw his bid for Patrick Moynihan's seat in the U.S. Senate than his cancer diagnosis: 

    . . .some of his aides and senior Washington Republicans say today they had concluded weeks before that he had lost interest...

  • Hillary Steps Up Obama Attacks on the Web

    POSTED BY KEVIN BRANNON, DECEMBER 21 2007 05:18 PM | PERMALINK



    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

     It came out yesterday that the Clinton campaign has purchased two anti-Obama websites, signaling another escalation in her self-described attempt to “draw distinctions” between herself and her opponent before the big day in Iowa.

    Obama has certainly had some punches thrown his way this month, even if Hillary has not been the one actually throwing the really nasty ones.  At least not directly.   Well, O.K., it’s her people, not her.  

    Consider the...

  • Thompson Press Release: Huckabee a Court Jester. Also, What NIE?

    POSTED BY KEVIN BRANNON, DECEMBER 05 2007 11:07 AM | PERMALINK

    For weeks now, the Huckabee thread of the campaign narrative has been that the stronger he gets, the more intense the scrutiny he’ll face from the press and his republican rivals. 

    Now that he’s pulled ahead in Iowa, the obvious tactic—and it ain’t hard—is to portray Huck as being that kid who runs for class president by being real nice to everyone and making a good natured ass of himself when necessary.

    Well, here’s a snippet of a Thompson press release Politico’s Jonathan Martin posted...

  • Rove Defends Comments on Congress's Role in War

    POSTED BY KEVIN BRANNON, DECEMBER 03 2007 11:25 AM | PERMALINK


    As the Bush administration’s inside man, Karl Rove liked to say that his unmoved mover status in D.C. is pretty much the stuff of myth and legend. Well, now that he’s spending more time in front of the cameras than behind the scenes, it may also be the stuff of history.

    So, Charlie Rose ate it up when Rove made his bombshell (and by that I mean dumb) statement about Congress rushing ahead of the Bush administration to authorize war on Iraq. But the story has not gone down so well in...
