In another sign of desperation, Hillary Clinton has turned to a “soft” version of the insidious fearmongering (terrorist will get you if you don’t vote for me) ads that the GOP ran against Kerry in ‘04. Of course, predictably, she uses children as the target of terror (”in a dangerous world”) and the concerned mother [...]

After Obama’s convincing victory in the Wisconsin primary yesterday, it was nice to read that his 17 points over Clinton was aided by support from two of her strongest sectors: women and union families.

That gladdens me, unless of course Clinton is our [...]

A professional political strategist on NPR states the obvious about McCain & Co. dying to have Clinton to run against:
