Hillary Clinton will be offered a dignified exit from the presidential race and the prospect of a place in Barack Obama’s cabinet under plans for a “negotiated surrender” of her White House ambitions being drawn up by Senator Obama’s aides. The former First Lady would get the chance to pilot Mr Obama’s reforms of the American healthcare system if she agrees to clear the path to his nomination as Democratic

The San Francisco Chronicle reports: With its power-to-the-individual approach, the new media world promises anyone with a laptop the possibility of a publishing empire. But, as some black bloggers are finding out, the new media world is a lot like the old one: racially segregated, with many prominent black voices still fighting to be heard. Some bloggers felt insulted this month when the Democratic National Committee selected 55 state-oriented blogs

The other day, I noted that for all of the usual caveats about polls being snapshots and a week being a lifetime in politics, the May-June polls in 2004 correlated pretty well to the November results.  A diarist at OpenLeft has posted a table showing the national presidential polling for March/ April, May, June and the actual vote margins for elections going back to 1972, along with the following observations: In

I’m a great admirer of Rusty Shackleford, so it’s with distress that I read that he’s decided that our invasion of Iraq was a mistake, because it hasn’t improved our security.

Apparently, crazyass, race-baiting, crypto Marxist politics dressed up as religion just got to be too much… when it came out of the mouth of a white priest.  Much harder to play the race card as trump. Update: At a Saturday night news conference, Obama discussed his decision: “I’m not denouncing the church and I’m not interested in people who

at Larry the Legend’s No Quarter: WARNING This does NOT apply to 99% of you, however, a couple of lost souls have posted threats against Barack Obama on this blog. Be forewarned, I will turn all threats over to the Secret Service (they are investigating two at this moment). While I don’t believe Barack is qualified to be President, nothing justifies or warrants a death threat. Please play nice. The

From the leader of the Reality-Based Community: Democrat Barack Obama paid an unscheduled late-night visit to Mount Rushmore Friday, visiting the national memorial at closing time and joking that his ears were too big to ever be included in such a display. *** He did express curiosity about the filming of a chase scene in “North by Northwest,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint that

At The Chicago Tribune’s The Swamp, racist Jim Tankersley refers to “br*ar p*tch”. When DoS attacks go corporate.

Reviewed by Thomas Joscelyn: Not only does Washington have a hard time properly naming our jihadist enemies, it still fails to understand that terrorist-sponsoring regimes have long backed them. Here, McCarthy has been at the forefront of explaining how jihadist terrorism is frequently, but not exclusively, a tool of hostile regimes: Writing in these pages in 1998 (“The Sudan Connection”), he explored the many ties between the 1993 plotters and
