The New York Daily News blog reports that a ruling is expected tomorrow on the lawsuit which seeks to make it harder for many members of the infuential Culinary Workers Union (that endorses Obama) to caucus in Nevada: The Culinary Workers Union is handing out leaflets that say the Clinton campaign is behind the lawsuit brought by the teachers union and calls it a massive voter-suppression effort. Organizers have also begun to

Via Memeorandum, I learn that Karl Rove is sounding a lot like me: In an address to the Republican National Committee, Karl Rove discussed the differences between the Democratic and Republican candidates running for president… *** Rove spent the majority of the time speaking about Sen. Clinton and Obama… *** Regarding Obama, Rove went after his “present” votes while in the Illinois State Senate on controversial votes on abortion, the second

Bill Clinton’s attempt to paint Sen. Barack Obama as the “establishment” candidate in the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, as opposed to his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton — and the reaction to it — reveals the lasting damage Obama has already done to the Clintons.  The race/gender battle being waged by the campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination may amuse or horrify the American public, but there is a general sense

Bob Owens (h/t Reynolds): This apparently fraudulent claim is not Horton’s only ethical lapse; in a Pajama’s Media article posted on January 4, I revealed that Horton’s clear conflict of interest in writing about Associated Press photographer and terrorism suspect Bilal Hussein. Horton had been a member of Hussein’s defense team, and his former legal partner is Hussein’s present counsel. Ironically, Horton’s most recent post quotes Nietzsche: He who does battle

Reader Pat Riotic alerts one to the following insanity: An elected official charged with falsely claiming he earned the military’s highest honor has filed a motion to dismiss the federal case against him on free speech grounds. The motion argues that the Stolen Valor Act of 2005, under which water board member Xavier Alvarez was charged, is incompatible with the First Amendment because it restricts free speech by criminalizing false claims of military

as much as the next blogger (does), but is it at all discordant that when Atrios puts down Matthews by feminizing him as “Chrissy”, Melissa McEwen responds with adulation (towards Atrios)?  Prolly just about as funny as dead Mr. Coulter’s daughter’s balls?

Ewwwwwwwwwwww: “But you must understand,” implored a well-intentioned woman in the audience, “multiculturalism is Canada’s gift to the world.” I used to like guacamole, too.

Gleen finds a journo who’s just as prickly about criticism as Gleen himself is, when Gleen takes him to task for “adulating” McCain. Generally, one would just describe such a performance as adulatory, but perhaps there’s some kind of coded gay meaning to adulate to which Gleen’s referring, dictionary or no dictionary (NTTAWWT). Ah well.  Either of them would look cute, I think, in Brooks Bros “Black Fleece.”

As we look toward the Republican contest in South Carolina, it may be useful to start with an autopsy on the Michigan primary.  While my election-related posts often criticize those who focus too much on polls at the expense of the ground game, this post will focus on polls.  However, this will mostly be to examine how polls may affect the candidates’ campaign themes going forward. Analyzing the Michigan exit polls, Jay

Medical science may disagree, but I think credit should go to readers and fellow bloggers. Your thoughts and prayers have eerie powers. Massive thanks to all.
