Michael Shaw: Reading The Pictures: The Dynamics Of Tuzla

Obviously, visuals can be highly damaging to a candidate, such as the mild images of Hillary at the Tuzla airport after she spoke of being greeted by gunfire. However, we don't often break down why. In this case: 1. The latter shot evokes the image of the threatened young children asleep in Clinton's 3AM "Who Can You Rely On?" ad. What the Tuzla imbroglio does is to raise the question whether...

Greg Saunders: Hillary's Diversionary Tactic Is Feeding The GOP Noise Machine

Apparently being caught lying on your resume brings out the venomous side in Sen. Clinton. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a wide-ranging interview today with Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporters and editors, said she would have left her church if her pastor made the sort of inflammatory remarks Sen.

OK, now I have to admit it: I see the attraction.

Even though it might mean a long term problem for me to continue posting on this site. I mean, truth be told: he does kind of grow on you after a while. I can see the attraction; and it is entirely possible that my irrational reaction to his candidacy might have been solely due to the way I was raised? Forgive me, but that was difficult to admit.

The ad is airing on ABC Family, A&E;, Lifetime, Oxygen and TLC.

NC-IN Primary Data the Media Won't Emphasize

There can be little doubt now that Old Media is applying full-court pressure to anoint Barack Obama with the Democratic nomination, and on Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race. The New York Times's stories for tomorrow's print edition (" Support for Clinton Wanes as Obama Sees Finish Line" and "Pundits Declare the Race Over ") clearly point in those directions. The first describes...
