Last weekend was exciting with three caucuses — Michigan, Washington, and Maine — but this weekend won’t be entirely without interest. Tomorrow, there will be two more caucuses — Nevada and DC — with a total of 40 delegates at stake. Kerry’s a likely choice for Nevada, especially since he’s the only one who’s campaigned […]
I don’t know about you, but this AP photo looks pretty good to me:
Journalist Murray Waas had an interesting Plame Game scoop yesterday at The American Prospect. His sources have reported that Robert Novak, who received the leak about Valerie Plame from two “senior administration officials” last July, was specifically told that his column could endanger an undercover CIA agent. After the controversy broke in the fall, Novak […]
Credit where credit is due. When Republican staffers were stealing documents from Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and those documents started showing up in conservative media outlets, GOP lawmakers insisted that no one on their side had done anything wrong. Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch (R), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dismissed any notion […]
I find it terribly easy to believe that Republican attackers are so anxious to smear John Kerry that they’ll doctor a photo. I find it much more surprising that the New York Times would fall for the hoax without checking. As Atrios noted today, the Times reported on the GOP’s desperation to find a photo […]
No wonder Dean backed out of his do-or-die pledge for Wisconsin. Kerry’s running away with the state. An American Research Group poll released last night shows Kerry with a commanding lead. Kerry — 53% Edwards — 16% Dean — 11% And this was before Wesley Clark announced his endorsement of Kerry in Wisconsin, which may […]
Just yesterday I speculated about Kerry’s choices for a running mate, and apparently, the campaign is doing the same thing. The Wall Street Journal reported today that the campaign is “mulling” its options. Edwards’ campaign skills make him an early favorite, but the odds against his carrying home-state North Carolina hurt his prospects. Missouri’s 11 […]
President Bush on Sunday: David Kay has found the capacity to produce weapons…. David Kay did report to the American people that Saddam had the capacity to make weapons…. David Kay, who is the man who led the Iraqi Survey Group, who has now returned with an interim report, clearly said that the place was […]
Here’s a story, brought to my attention by Carpetbagger regular Chief Osceola, which has not yet received the national attention it deserves. If you have a relatively new television, you know that most sets are equipped with the technology to offer viewers closed-captioning — real-time transcripts of programs that allow 28 million hearing-impaired Americans to […]
For reasons that are unclear to me, Bush has consistently enjoyed stronger support in Washington Post/ABC News national polls than any other. I’ve noticed about an 8-point gap between Post polls and everyone else for a couple of years now, always in Bush’s favor. (I’m really not making an accusation here, just an observation.) But, […]
