Obama Makes It Ten In A Row
Winning ten in a row in anything is a pretty damn good run, but when it happens in a presidential race, the momentum it creates can be very hard to stop. After winning as expected in Wisconsin and Hawaii on Tuesday, Barack Obama has even more reason to celebrate, even ...
You Call This Negative Campaigning?
I do have to chuckle when I hear complaints in recent days that Hillary Clinton has gone negative against Barack Obama, or that the Democratic race has taken a negative turn. Sure, the Clinton Camp has definitely turned up the heat in recent days. They have targeted Obama over his plans ...

Team Clinton Zeroes In On Barack Obama
With crucial battles in Ohio and Texas still two weeks away, the Clinton Camp has tried in recent days to chip away at Barack Obama on a number of fronts. None of the attacks have been on issues that are deal breakers or anything, but in sum, it has been an ...
Mark Off Another Tuesday in Election 2008
It's another step on the road to the November elections today, as the Democrats and Republicans see what's next in the 2008 Presidential Race. Delegates in three states are up for grabs today for Campaign 2008. Democrats have a caucus in Hawaii and a primary in Wisconsin; Republicans have a ...
No Matter the Numbers, Huckabee Soldiers On
The results tonight are not expected to change one thing in the GOP Presidential race - that being the resolve of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to stay in the race. Mathematically, Huckabee has almost no chance to stop John McCain from getting the GOP nomination, especially after last week's ...

The Field Is Clear - At Least This Week
As voters prepare to determine the next round of presidential voting tomorrow in three states, the candidates have a clear field - at least in terms of political news - for most of this week. That's because not only is President Bush out of town until late this week on ...
Independence For Kosovo and the Wisconsin Primary
I tried to take a blackberry break this weekend, so I didn't look at my email until a quick glance around lunchtime on Sunday. "Statement by Barack Obama on the Independence of Kosovo," caught my eye. I didn't even need to see the story that Kosovo declared its independence from ...
Am I Missing Something in Wisconsin?
On this President's Day holiday, the focus of the candidates is Wisconsin, which holds a primary on Tuesday, as Democrats battle in Hawaii and Wisconsin, while Republicans look for delegates in Wisconsin and Washington State. The conventional wisdom is that Hawaii and Wisconsin are going to Barack Obama, but the ...

Congress and Election 2008
The current dustup between President Bush and Democrats in Congress over a terrorism surveillance law demonstrates how issues on Capitol Hill can ricochet their way into the Presidential race. Congress went out of town for a week plus break without final action on terrorism surveillance legislation, angering President Bush and ...
Black Lawmakers Feel The Heat
The decision of Rep. David Scott (D-GA) to switch from being a superdelegate for Hillary Clinton to a backer of Barack Obama is indicative of the battle going on inside the black community right now over this election. Scott and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) are two prime examples of black ...

Romney Helps McCain Close Ranks in GOP
Moving one step closer to the GOP nomination, John McCain won the surprise endorsement of Mitt Romney on Thursday, inching towards the end of the Republican race in 2008. For McCain, it was the second surprise in two days, as a day earlier, he had won the public backing of ...
McCain Wins Mitt Romney's Endorsement
Just a week after Mitt Romney suspended his presidential bid, his move to endorse John McCain gives even more closure to the race for the GOP nomination. While McCain and Romney tangled repeatedly - and at times caustically - during their nomination battle, Romney's move gives even more impetus to ...

Sen. Larry Craig Gets His Knuckles Rapped
In a quiet finish to a case that blew up in the face of Senate Republicans last year, the Senate Ethics Committee has found that Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) acted wrongly in the matter of his arrest in an airport sex sting operation in Minneapolis. The panel found fault with ...
Circle March 4 On The Calendar
Yes, there will be some twists and turns most likely in coming days in the Democratic race for President, but barring a major rush by Democratic leaders to Barack Obama, the pivotal showdown in the race between Obama and Hillary Clinton is going to take place on March 4th in ...
A Warning Signal For Lawmakers in Congress
While the Presidential primaries held the spotlight on Tuesday, the results of Congressional primaries in the state of Maryland may make some in Congress shake their heads this morning. It's not often that a sitting member of Congress loses in a primary. It's rare when two incumbents go down to ...
Obama and McCain Sweep Beltway Primaries
It was a big night for both Barack Obama and John McCain as they swept the three primaries in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. For Obama, the results extended his winning streak to eight straight contests, as he finally wakes up this morning in the lead in delegates in the ...

Obama-Mania Goes Inside The Beltway
It is always amazing to see the transformation of a campaign from the first time you saw it in Iowa or New Hampshire to a major event later in the primary season. Barack Obama was big in Iowa and he was big in New Hampshire, but his visit to the ...
Hillary (and Bill) Try To Fight Back
Conventional wisdom is that Hillary Clinton has the best shot to do well in Virginia, especially with voters away from the immediate Washington, D.C. suburbs and outside the Hampton Roads area. Former President Bill Clinton was here for a second straight day, making campaign stops across Virginia, after a full ...
Huckabee Tries to Repeat A Winning Weekend
After seeing the Barack Obama "Sold Out" tour in College Park, Maryland, I hustled down I-95 to Richmond, Virginia to check out John McCain as he wrapped up his campaign in the Commonwealth. Nothing against McCain, but going to a "regular" campaign event after you've been to an Obama rally ...
The Democratic Delegate Math, Version 2.1
168 delegates are at stake for the Democrats again today, with the usual proportional formula for handing out delegates, based on who wins Congressional districts and the statewide vote. Realistically, it's hard to see Barack Obama losing the Washington, D.C. primary with the overwhelming black vote there. D.C. has 15 ...
