Tonight on Greta on CNN after the Hillary speech at the convention, Susan Estrich admitted that because of female demonrat disappointment over Hillary's loss to Obama, if McCain just picks a woman VP, it's "cha-ching." So, she said, "As a...

Susan Estrich doesn’t mention me in her column on the recent Reuters/Zogby poll that shows John McCain 5 points ahead of Barack Obama. I doubt she saw it. But she reaffirms my instinct to doubt its significance. “There’s an old saying in show business: No one knows anything. Movie executives, at least the honest ones, will [...]

When Hillary Clinton kicked off her 2000 campaign for senate, she gaudily commenced a “listening tour” in which she traveled New York listening to the concerns of ordinary voters. The cynics among us never wholly swallowed the notion that...

After telling her readers on July 16 how nervous she was about Barack Obama's chances to win the White House this November, Michael Dukakis's former campaign manager, Susan Estrich, was clearly less impressed with the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee's world tour than most folks that consider themselves journalists. In a column published Friday entitled " Arrogance Will Not Help Get Obama...

Susan Estrich, former campaign manager for Michael Dukakis and frequent Fox News contributor and political analyst, wrote a column this past Friday, Arrogance Will Not Help Get Obama Elected. She does seem concerned about Barama's electability.

Susan Estrich, who is best known to the public for her fascinating psychological unraveling on Fox News on election night 2004, is now "nervous" about the electoral chances of Barack Obama. In the process she makes a startling admission that might cause her to lose friends in the mainstream media. First let us listen to Susan as she tells us why July polls are meaningless...or maybe not: July polls...

Susan Estrich is worried that Obama’s lead in the polls isn’t what it should be at this point. Her opening gambit is pretty funny: July polls don’t tell you who’s going to win in November. Just ask President Dukakis or President Gore, both of whom were well ahead in July and went on to lose in the fall (although Mr. Gore still doesn’t quite see it that way). Estrich speaks with the (in her case gravelly)...

New John McCain ad raises the matter of Hillary Clinton 's exclusion from the Dem ticket. Female narrator even. Will run in "key states." Script after the jump.

that the obamessiah has made a big mistake. Obama's Unconventional Error Monday, August 18, 2008 By Susan Estrich Just tell me, my friend Kath wants to know, what would have happened if their roles were reversed. If Hillary had won the nomination and Obama had come in a close second, would he have gotten a prime-time speech one night, and Michelle another? Would his name have been placed in nomination...

Good Reasons Why John Edwards Is Finished Excerpts From An Article by Susan Estrich: What bothers me, in no particular order: First, the hypocrisy. Former Sen. John Edwards, addressing the question of Moncia Lewinsky's relationship with then President Bill Clinton, was full of holier-than-thou outrage about the injury Clinton had inflicted on his wife and daughter. Sen. Edwards said on Feb. 12, 1999:...

Landau Susan Estrich Now that it’s broken out into the open, there’s something about the Edwards-Hunter affair that makes it impossible to ignore.

My first foray into conservative talk radio and it worked out pretty well. Mike was very nice, especially considering that I've been critical of him on the blog. The post that prompted the invitation was this one, where I complained about Susan Estrich's awful co-hosting on Hannity & Colmes last week....

It appears something else that isn't tolerated at the ultra-left-leaning website Daily Kos is too much discussion about the extra-marital sexual escapades of Democrats the Netroots hold in high esteem. At least, this appears to be the case given Saturday's banning of Lee Stranahan , a liberal blogger and video producer who's been writing diaries at DKos since at least April 2007, and has had his work...

Mickey Klaus disputes many of the arguments coverage of the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter scandal. His strongest argument is the first argument that he was not truly a private citizen: Edwards was certainly a contender for VP, or a big cabinet post like Attorney General, or even the Supreme Court, before the scandal first erupted in the [...]
