Clinton won Michigan with 55% of the vote and only Kucinich on the ballot with her.
Obama won 55% of the vote in South Carolina in a robust race with three candidates on the ballot (and a popular former president campaigning heavily for one of them).
That’s pretty impressive. And Obama’s win in the Palmetto State is […]
The Boston Globe reports that perhaps the second biggest endorsement up for grabs (the first of course being Gore) is about to be handed down:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy will endorse Barack Obama for president tomorrow, breaking his year-long neutrality to send a powerful signal of where the legendary Massachusetts Democrat sees the party going — […]
Indonesia’s brutal former dictator Suharto has died at age 86, probably of heart problems.
CNN confirms what I, and I’d think a lot of other people, had expected:
Roughly 6 in 10 South Carolina Democratic primary voters said Bill Clinton’s campaigning was important in how they ultimately decided to vote, and of those voters, 48 percent went for Barack Obama while only 37 percent went for Hillary Clinton. Fourteen percent […]
Obama just delivered what was easily the best speech of the year, and perhaps the best speech in the past 5 years. Video later.
Hillary Clinton’s South Carolina state chair Don Fowler on January 20th:
“I’m confident with the kind of campaign we’re running, next week we’re going to win.â€
Hillary Clinton’s South Carolina state chair Don Fowler on January 26th:
*Crickets chirping*
CNN posts full exit poll results…
Obama won every single age group except for 65 and over for the first time ever tonight… Also wins both female and male votes by large margins…
Mike Gravel gets 8 votes so far…
94% of Obama’s voters said he was the “most qualified to be commander and chief” compared with only […]

A look at exit polls:
**57% say Bill Clinton’s campaigning was important in determining their vote
**53% of voters wanted change, versus 24% who wanted a president who cared about them, versus 14% who wanted a president with experience
** Independents about 23% of the electorate
Stunning: Bill’s campaigning made a difference to a solid majority. More than half […]
17% for Clinton, exit polls say…
Edwards does worse than expected, perhaps as low as 1% among African Americans…
Edwards and Clinton vying for second place…
“Landslide victory”
As the possibility of a brokered convention increases and with John Edwards saying he’ll stay in the race “no matter what,” there has been a lot of talk casting him as a potential “kingmaker.” But being a kingmaker is harder than you might assume, listening to all the suggestions that’ve been going around.
To even try […]
Intriguing, if nothing else. Progressive lion Russ Feingold (D-WI) seems to have taken it upon himself to convince progressives not to vote for Edwards. He slammed Edwards recently in a local paper in his home state, and this time he’s stepped it up a notch, speaking to a much more targeted audience of progressives whothe […]
Um, this is certainly suspicions, and reminiscent of Bush’s “black box” from one of the 2004 debates with John Kerry.
The whisper that could be heard just before an answer from Mitt Romney at Thursday’s Republican debate was the result of a microphone malfunction, an MSNBC spokesman tells RAW STORY, but its source remains a mystery.
Just […]
The Rezko thing keeps coming up because rival campaigns keep bringing it up again, even though there’s no new information about it.
This entire “business connection” is totally overblown. The law firm that Obama worked for happened to represent Rezko and in his work for them, Obama happened to do a five hours of work representing […]
