Guest post by Ron Chusid There’s some more ridiculous Obama-bashing on health care in the blogosphere today, this time starting with a post by Mike Lux at Open Left. The complaint is that Jim Cooper advocated more moderate health care reform than Clinton while in Congress and he is now a health care spokesman for […]
Guest Post by dnA Steve’s not here, but I love the Mini-Report and I assume the rest of you do too, so I’ll do my best to reproduce one here. Going into tomorrow’s primary in Wisconsin, most polls show Obama with a small to moderate lead over Hillary Clinton, except for ARG, which shows Clinton […]
Guest post by Ron Chusid The latest nonsense to come out of the Clinton camp is charges of plagiarism against Obama. The charge is based upon similarities in a passage from a speech that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick used at a campaign rally in 2006. The problem with raising a charge of plagiarism is that […]
Guest Post by dnA For months, reporters have been digging around a land deal between Barack Obama and indicted political fixer Tony Rezko. Despite article after article finding no legal wrongdoing (but suggesting that some was at hand) Obama’s political opponents have continued to use the event to suggest the Senator somehow did something illegal.

Guest post by Ron Chusid With Obama now in the lead for the Democratic nomination, he is facing increased attacks from both the Republicans and from Clinton supporters. I already noted one of the Republican attacks today. dnA beat me to bringing up one of the attacks from Clinton supporters, which I had discussed over […]

Unfortunately, when many Democrats have practiced this philosophy, Republicans have twisted this […]
Guest Post by dnA Some of Obama’s recent comments about Hillary Clinton have raised eyebrows, particularly these two, as reported by Jake Tapper of ABC: “You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out,” Obama said. The CLAWS come out? Really? Then yesterday Obama told reporters who had asked about Clinton’s latest attack […]
Guest Post by dnA Note–Hey everyone, Steve is sick and he asked me and a few other folks to fill in. I’m sure he’ll be checking his email, so feel free to show him a little love with a get-well note. Last year, Congress passed a law that was hailed as “the first major gun […]
Much to my dismay, I seem to have come down with the flu. It’s completely knocked me off my feet, and as much as I’d like to work today, it just isn’t going to happen. I’ve asked Steve M. from No More Mister Nice Blog, Ron Chusid from Liberal Values, and dnA from Too Sense […]
About a year ago, John McCain boasted that he knew the war in Iraq was “probably going to be long and hard and tough,” and that he was “sorry” for anybody who voted it thinking it would be “some kind of an easy task.” That night, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann read off a list of McCain […]
