The “Clinton Party”? Hmmmm…

Howard Fineman wrote in HuffPo today about a couple of victories yesterday in Pennsylvania.  The two candidates he wrote about got the benefit of the Big Dawg’s endorsement.  In Kathleen Kane’s case, the former president called the candidate for PA attorney general’s campaign and offered to do a fundraiser.  He pointedly did not offer to [...]

I’m just taking it all in

All around the left blogosphere, there is a sudden realization.  It’s like, what the hell did we get ourselves into?  There’s panic about the Grand Bargain Obama almost struck last summer, about the imminent death of Medicare, about the austerity measures in Florida.  We in the research industry could have told you all about that. [...]

Monday: Bubba and Baruch

A recent Esquire interview with Bill Clinton didn’t get as much attention in the blogosphere as I might have expected, or maybe I missed it.  But it’s a fascinating article in many respects.  For one thing, Bill Clinton still has it, that damnable facility with language that drives his enemies and detractors to distraction.  Nevertheless, [...]

Thursday: Analysis comes trickling in

According to Dan Balz at WaPo, Ohio may be key to Obama’s reelection.  He won’t necessarily lose the presidency if he loses Ohio.  It’s just that no one since Jack Kennedy has been able to pull it off.  Obama apparently has a problem with white working class and older voters.  I don’t suppose it has [...]

A suggestion about demands for OccupyWallStreet

Update: Is anyone soaping “99%” on their windows tomorrow? The Big Dawg has weighed in regarding OccupyWallStreet and says that the movement has to start making its intentions known.  He suggested that OccupyWallStreet get behind Obama’s jobs program but we’ve already seen what a failure that bill was.  It was too little, too late and [...]

Racism and Deadlines

So, the Obama whips are trying to get us back into line, supporting Obama for re-election next year.  Why else would we be treated to timely reminders of what racists we are?  It’s a strange phenomenon but I never think about Obama’s race until he or one of his lackeys brings it up and shoves [...]

Bernie Sanders says what the Big Dawg couldn’t

I missed most of the FiliBernie yesterday where Bernie Sanders took to a nearly empty Senate floor and spoke for 8 hours and 36 minutes.  Fortunately, I caught it on C-Span2 the second time around. Bernie laid it all out.  The irresponsible tax breaks for millionaires, the distress of the unemployed, the immorality of the [...]

Ask not what Obama can do for you, ask what you can do for Obama

Inside the mind of a rabid Obot (no link, biohazard): And it’s why I smile when I read people shrieking and rending their garments for him to do this or say that as if he were their servant. Obama IS our servant you moron. Haven’t you ever heard the term “public servant?” We don’t work [...]

Is it any wonder they keep winning?

There is another CDS Fest going on over at Ian Welsh’s place: Gosh , all the partisan BS about Clinton, Hillary and Obama. and ever wonder why the right wing wins ALL the time? One of my earliest memories was the assassination of JFK – I was only three years old but I remember my [...]

Stop that meme!

One of Axelrod’s minions paid us a visit last night: ellen887, on November 3, 2010 at 1:16 am Said: Hmmmm. republicans gain 56 seats in house (so far) and 6 seats in the Senate-hardly a bloodbath. In fact, the last time a Democratic congress lost seats was under Bill Clinton, with 54 republican gains in [...]
