In 2004, Bill talked about hope versus fear. I agree 100%:
“One of Clinton’s laws of politics is this: If one candidate’s trying to scare you, and the other one’s trying to get you to think; if one candidate’s appealing to your fears, and the other one’s appealing to your hopes; you better vote for the […]
Some time ago, I compared two television ads: the first was Lyndon Johnson’s infamous 1964 daisy ad, the other was a similar scaremongering one from the Clinton campaign. Let’s revisit both of those right now.
Here’s the LBJ one:
Now here’s the Clinton one:
At the time, I noted the following:
Another interesting accidental parallel between the two ads: […]
I do not know why this is funny, it just is.
Posted to Hillary’s official YouTube channel. David Gergen:
Compare and contrast with this vintage 1996 clip:
Now, is it possible that Hillary secretly despised NAFTA from Day One? Yeah, it is. But that would mean she’s lied about her feelings regarding it time and time again over the past decade. The fact that Clinton’s official YouTube channel […]
On Tuesday I interviewed Alderman Toni Preckwinkle, who represents Chicago’s 4th Ward for a documentary I’m working on about a local hospital that is having financial troubles. At the end of the interview while packing up, I asked her briefly about Barack Obama’s failed primary bid for Rep Bobby Rush’s seat back in the day, […]
As of early February, the Clinton campaign had paid or owed chief strategist Mark “automatic delegate” Penn’s firm over $4.3 million. What is Penn spending that money on?
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s pit-bull pollster and chief strategist Mark Penn has his Washington, DC, neighborhood in an uproar. He recently started multimillion-dollar renovations on his house on O […]
Hillary Clinton, Feb 27, 2008:
CLINTON: None of this is surprising to me. You know, last spring when I looked at how the race was shaping up, I knew that it would be a close contest and I assumed it would be with Senator Obama and at that time I said we have got to start […]
For months now, Barack Obama’s campaign has been posting items on a minisite called factcheck.barackobama.com. The purpose of the site, according to the campaign, is to debunk false attacks on the Illinois Senator (the first two items posted were about Obama’s patriotism and religion).
Today the campaign published this haiku-sized nugget:
Former President Bill Clinton said today: […]
Choice quotes… On why he endorsed Clinton in the first place: “I did it because I felt in my heart that I had to support Mrs. Clinton because of our friendship.”
But, the civil rights icon says: “Sometimes, you have to be on the right side of history.”
All of Georgia’s African American congressmen superdelegates are now […]
ABC News’ Brian Ross recently reported on Hillary’s job as a Board Member at Wal-Mart in the 1980s:
Speaking of vintage video, here’s Hillary on NAFTA in 1996:
Conservative figure William F. Buckley dies at 82.

In the hours after the Democratic debate last night, Barack Obama’s campaign hit the 1 million unique donor mark. This means that about one out of every 300 Americans has donated to the campaign: far surpassing the previous record for the primary season (which was, incidentally set by the Obama campaign).
The campaign is also trying […]
I did not know that, thankfully for Clinton surrogate Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, now I do.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports from Georgia, Rep Lewis’ home state:
The Rev. Joseph Lowery said Tuesday he expects John Lewis to formally declare his support for Barack Obama, perhaps today.
Lowery, like Lewis a veteran of the civil rights movement, said he spoke with Lewis in the past few days and said the Georgia congressman was set […]
