It was only one game, and in the grand scheme of things, it means as much as Hillary Clinton's win in the Pennsylvania primary.

I'm sorry, this is too juicy not to post . U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews, who supported Hillary Clinton throughout the primary season, disclosed he received a phone call shortly before the April 22 Pennsylvania primary from a top member of Clinton's organization and that the caller explicitly discussed a strategy of winning over Jewish voters by exploiting tensions between Jews and African-Americans. "There...

In the link above you will see a news story that I am sure many of you heard after the Pennsylvania primary, that Hillary Clinton's campaign raised 10 million dollars in the 24 hours after that contest. Well guess what? She didn't ! (If you scroll down the FEC Campaign Finance Report you will come to April 23rd and April 24th. Even being generous enough to add them together they only add up to $4,361,884.89.)...

A while ago, before the Pennsylvania primary, I was hearing two arguments against Senator Obama. First, Clinton's supporters suggested that Obama’s only real skill was the ability to speak well, to pander. The other claim, brought on by an apparent misstep from the Obama campaign, is that Obama is an elitist. There are two funny things about that. First, these arguments are nearly identical to arguments...

I wanted to draw your attention to this very fine photograph by Larry Fink from a political photo gallery at VF. Fink shot this in Harrisburg while documenting last month's Clinton effort in the Pennsylvania primary. For myself, the photo speaks to the powerful bond between Hillary and the women's vote, especially boomer and above.

Pshaw, racism, smacism. Victoria Switzer, a retired social studies teacher, was on phone-bank duty one night during the Pennsylvania primary campaign. One night was all she could take: "It wasn't pretty." She made 60 calls to prospective voters in Susquehanna...

Like the long lead time before the Pennsylvania primary, the long lead time before Hillary concedes that Obama has the nomination sewn up means that the actual event will be much less dramatic than anticipated. For everyone other than those...

Last time I reported on election results in the 1st Mississippi Congressional District, it was competing with the Pennsylvania Primary . The race went into a run-off, and today it competes for attention with the West Virginia Primary — which Clinton won handily to no effect whatsoever. Just to review: the Mississippi 1st is one of the reddest districts in the country — even more than the Louisiana...
