The Post reports on what happened when Chinese hackers pursued the Obama and McCain presidential campaigns in 2008. One day in late summer 2008, FBI and Secret Service agents flew to Chicago to inform Barack Obama’s campaign team that its computer system had been hacked. “You’ve got a problem. Somebody’s trying to get inside your systems,”...

Barack Obama’s campaign outed John Edwards on his $400 haircuts, his campaign manager reported. “We did much less of this [opposition research] than other campaigns did, but there were times we indulged — it was our researchers who found John Edwards’s infamous $400 haircut expenditures,” David Plouffe wrote in his book. Well, [...]

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982 We all know the BNP are a shameless mob, so it should come as no surprise that they've now directly copied the design of Barack Obama's campaign website. The new look has been launched this week...spot any similarities? Temerity indeed.

Certainly, election results one year out cannot portend future election results. A year is an eternity in politics, but unlike poll results, election results do mark the time in a firm way. There are some basic facts that cannot be ignored. Barack Obama campaigned heavily for Jon Corzine in New Jersey, the incumbent Democrat governor and [...]

There will be much debate in the morning about whether or not the bad results for Democrats in the Governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey - both states where Barack Obama campaigned for the Democrat and the Democrat sought to join himself at the hip with Obama - reflect public anger at Obama and his Administration. This is an interesting debate, but let us not...

In a stunning upset, Republican Chris Christie defeated Democrat Barack Obama ... I mean Jon Corzine ... to win the New Jersey governor's race Tuesday. Despite spending $23 million dollars and having Barack Obama campaign for him three times, Corzine, the free-spending liberal and Obama doormat, was tossed out by New Jersey voters in a a clear repudiation...

It’s all over but the finger-pointing. Republican Bob McDonnell won in Virginia. Over in the Garden State, Chris Christie beat Gov. Jon Corzine. As night follows day, black voters are being blamed for the Democratic losses. Why not blame white independents who voted for McDonnell? Or young voters who didn’t bother to show up? Though President Barack Obama campaigned for the...

David Plouffe ran Barack Obama's campaign as a steady and extended fuck-you to the hyperventilating Drudge junkies at Politico, and we loved him for it. Now he's admitted he was leaking to them the...

The BNP is always happy to steal a good idea when it sees one. The immensely successful and largely-online Obama election campaign in the US was certainly a good idea and, from the constant stream of online communications (or, in the BNP's case, cheap and nasty begging letters) to the appearance of the Obama campaign website itself, the BNP has nabbed the lot, not even bothering...
