Obama intercepts Hillary’s hail mary

Drudge is calling Obama ‘the nominee.’ It’s not a done deal, but it now seems inevitable thanks to a decisive win in North Carolina and a near draw in Indiana. The aftermath though, will certainly focus more on last night’s loser.
Hillary canceled her media appearances this morning. Obviously had she not done that, she could [...]

Thanks for the immunization, Hillary

Numerically the Democratic primary is over. I’ll spare you the minutia, but Hillary can’t catch up to Obama in delegates, which, unless we’re going to toss out the rules, is the only metric that counts.

Fear Mongering Over FISA Extensions

The Republican National Committee released a video today attacking Senate Democrats for their opposition to the Orwellian FISA extensions. The fear mongering in this video is Tancredo-esque: complete with ticking clocks, jingoism, and simplistic conclusions.

While these scare tactics are especially disturbing, the Arabic like pronunciation of Barack Obama’s name and the vilification of Democrats in [...]
