I thought I’d take a few moments to address the technical problems the site had over the weekend (that are now thankfully over with).
As you probably knew if you’re a longtime reader, the site had been loading very slowly recently. This partially had to do with the traffic the site was receiving, partially to do […]
Wince:
I’m a Democrat who came to the party in the era of President John F. Kennedy,” Lieberman told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week. ”It’s a strange turn of the road when I find among the candidates running this year that the one, in my opinion, closest to the Kennedy legacy, the John F. Kennedy […]
This bodes so incredibly well for youth turnout in the fall:
[PA Sen Bob] Casey decided to back Mr. Obama, the person close to him said, because of his “ability to bring disparate groups together and transcend some of these racial and other kinds of divides.”
“Also, his kids were on his case, his four daughters,” the […]
There is a healthy debate both in the blogosphere and the greater Democratic Party over whether or not Clinton should drop out of the race now that it is virtually assured that Obama will be the nominee.
Clinton’s critics argue that she is only serving to bloody up Obama at a time when Democrats could be […]
I’ve got to change the layout back to the old red stripey theme, but everything else should work properly again (except for the asides in the middle column, but I’ll have that up an running later today). Thanks for your patience everyone.
I would blog some more about this (and I may later), but at the […]
The permalinks work now but they’re in a different format than they were before. I’ll try to continue fixing things on Sunday.
Thanks for your patience everyone,

A funny freudian slip from Obama surrogate Joe Sestak.
Well, I bit the bullet and bought some more robust server space– a Linux virtual dedicated server to be exact. I’m in the process of setting that up, which will take a while. And after that’s all set up, I’ll have to transfer all of the MySQL databases and files associated with The Daily Background […]
Obama on The View: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
So, the newly-elected Senator Bob Casey (or as I like to call him, Santorum-slayer) has gone out on a limb in his home state of Pennsylvania and endorsed Obama.
What’s impressive about Casey’s endorsement of Barack Obama is not so much the potential number of votes it moves (I’m not sold on senatorial endorsements being able […]
Senator Bob Casey (D-Pennsylvania) endorses Obama.
By the way, I know many of you have noticed that the site is acting extremely sluggish lately. This is because I am a cheap bastard, but I think it’s finally time to bite the bullet and upgrade my hosting server situation (it’s been painfully evident that the site has outgrown its current hosting situation, […]
Obama on Clinton’s insistence on keeping in place the Bush Administration’s absurd policy of not talking to leaders the US doesn’t like:
“If FDR can meet with Stalin and Nixon can meet with Mao and Kennedy can meet with Khrushchev and Reagan can meet with Gorbachev, then the notion that we can’t meet with some half-baked […]
New Pew Research Center poll indicates that Rev Wright hasn’t damaged Obama one bit…
Late February Pew results: Obama 49% Clinton 40%
Late March Pew results: 49% Clinton 39%
