Sorry for the radio silence on this blog, but with the Onion churning out political satire this spot on, why should I exert myself brewing up original commentary?
Hillary should stay in the race until the elections are over on June 3. It’s just two weeks from tomorrow.
Speaking as someone who declared support for Obama when he first got in the race, I’m fine with Clinton staying in through the final primary. She’s been campaigning for some two years. How is another two […]
When Barack Obama takes to stage to give his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on August 28, it will be the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

I watched a few dozen 30-second ads from MoveOn.org’s “Obama in 30 Seconds” campaign — a small sample of the over 1,000 entries.

In wake of last week’s horribly-moderated debate by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, August nicely recaps their absurdities.
Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford, gives a cogent, clear, and interesting presentation about why he’s supporting Barack Obama. This has been floating around the net since early February, but worth re-posting in case you haven’t yet see it.

Veracifier’s is topped only by the Daily Show in its ability to distill hours of video footage down to the tastiest cuts of meat. Here for instance, they showcase Doug Feith, who is either a […]
Articles by NPR, Politico, the New York Times, and other mainstream media sources, are painting a picture of a steep hill for Hillary.
NPR Blog: Media Ask “The Beginning of the End for Clinton?”:
A “drumbeat” has started to sound in the media the past week with the speech on race by Sen. Barack Obama and with […]
Marc Andreessen, co-author of the world’s first graphic web browser and co-founder of Netscape Communications, has endorsed Barack Obama. It’s a thoughtful post, based on his impressions during an 1.5-hour meeting with Obama a year ago.
He writes that in person, Obama is quite authentically normal:
I’ve spent time with a lot of politicians in the last […]
Spoiler alert! Thanks to the crack reporters at the Onion, the winner of the 2008 election can be known today.
