The main campaign story at New York Times right now is about Al Gore possibly playing the “honest broker” for a peaceful resolution to what could be a battle royale between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton over the Democratic presidential nomination. But how honest is the New York Times? First, the Gore-y part: Democratic Party officials said that in the past week Mr. Gore and other leading Democrats had held private talks

for a fleeting glimpse of nipples? (warning: video)  This, on the other hand, is awesome.  And this is fun. 300. Reprising Three Dog Night’s take on Randy Newman.

Having just covered Sen. Barack Obama’s white support earlier today, I note that the WaPo’s Jon Cohen has a post up on Sen. Hillary Clinton’s “downscale” white voters: In each of the states where the Post subscribed to exit polls (and voters were asked about their level of education), Clinton did better among non-college than college-educated white voters. She also outpaced Obama among non-college whites in all 14 of these

Earlier this week, someone, I think maybe Surber, was wondering what the initial steps in creating a new political party would be.  Well, here comes the “rebate.”  If enough of us had enough discipline to put it forward towards such a venture, how would we best manage it?  (I mean, apart from sending it to Jeff and letting him manage it for us.)

for you bastards, anyway, it’s safe for me to express my worries. I think that Andrew is setting himself up for another enormous disappointment.  I can hardly bear to watch.   It breaks my heart; it really does.

At Pollster.com, Margie Omero notes (as I have) that the media is misleadingly latching onto Sen . Barack Obama’s performance in groups like white men in the Potomac primaries as a sign of broadening support for his candidacy: In fact, Virginia was neither the first state (nor even first Southern state) where Obama bested Clinton among white men. Nor was it the state where he won this group by the

Somebody risked his life to get this bastard:  A Kuwaiti newspaper reports that Hizbullah terrorist chief Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a car-bomb attack in Damascus on Tuesday, was in the midst of planning major terrorist attacks in moderate Arab countries when he was killed.  Al-Watan reports that American intelligence had learned that Mughniyeh arrived in Damascus three days earlier with instructions from, and in coordination with, the Iranians. 

And I thought the guy was a Casanova.

Having taken a side-swipe at Dan Balz and the Washington Post coverage of the Potomac primaries the other day, I now give Balz a hand for laying out how Sen. Hillary Clinton’s failure to challenge Sen. Barack Obama’s strategy of grabbing cheap delegates in caucus states could be her undoing: Here is a simple way to understand the consequences of that choice. Take two states that held Super Tuesday contests on

The ever-excellent David Thompson (yes, that one): Mr al Yafai offers no analysis of preceding events and no reflection whatsoever on the moral incontinence of Islamist indignation, or its deranged disproportion, or its coercive intent. Nor does Mr al Yafai pause to consider whether those who do commit atrocities in the name of Islam – say, by detonating babies, or children, or the mentally disabled – do so because they
