The Unmistakable Brilliance Of Dan Gerstein
via Daily Kos by DemFromCT on February 09, 2008
was recently on display in the WSJ (covered here). Among my favorite "facts" from Gerstein was The signs of change are unmistakable. Over the last year, the Kossacks themselves seemed to be waning -- the number of monthly page views on the site is down dramatically. Unfortunately for Gerstein, he misses some essentials that a self-described Democratic strategist ought to know... the main one...

Is Obama's mo' enough?
via Daily Kos by kos on February 04, 2008
From Pollster.com:You can see the numbers headed in Obama's direction, with the blacker dots representing more recent polls, the lighter ones older polls. With Bill Clinton neutralized and all the big free media breaks falling into Obama's lap (like the "Yes We Can" viral video and the surprise Maria Shriver endorsement), Hillary's best hope at this point appears to ride out the...

I Voted For Hillary Clinton
via Daily Kos by brownsox on February 05, 2008
MissLaura, Meteor Blades and DHinMI have each written wonderful pieces on the candidates they supported, and I’ve decided to do the same.I voted for Hillary Clinton.I have to admit that while I am a committed, and enthusiastic, supporter of Senator Clinton, my reasons for supporting her are pretty boring. I’m not voting for her because I have been deeply inspired by her, or because I feel a...

Dobson's not happy

... preserve filibusters in judicial hearings, and has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language."I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are. He has sounded at times more like a member of the other party. McCain actually considered leaving the GOP caucus in 2001, and approached John Kerry a...

Huge night for Obama
via Daily Kos by kos on February 06, 2008
Obama has, at this point, won 11 states, of 22 in play. Worst-case scenario, he's already won half. If he picks up Alaska, which I suspect he will, he wins the battle of the states.California is looking like it might head SUSA's way, so that'll be good news for Hillary. But the rest of the night is bleak. She didn't exceed expectations anywhere. She lost states she led big in just...

via Daily Kos by SusanG on February 08, 2008
According to a new Time poll released today, Obama would beat McCain by seven points were the election held today, and Hillary would tie him:Obama captured 48% of the vote in the theoretical match-up against McCain's 41%, the TIME poll reported, while Clinton and McCain would deadlock at 46% of the vote each. Put another way, McCain looks at the moment to have a narrowly better chance of...

Goodbye 50 + 1
via Daily Kos by DemFromCT on February 20, 2008
... D turnout, but the idea that Obama is running a campaign that is more than 50+1 (aka a Bush mandate, aka McCain's strategery). He brings in new and younger voters, the kind of voter that campaigns are taught 'don't count on them, they won't show up'. Well, so far...A new Rasmussen poll notes something that makes cable pundits' heads explode everywhere: 61% of Americans ...

Pushing Clinton from the race
via Daily Kos by kos on March 04, 2008
... Charlie Cook writes in his CongressDaily column, "[W]inning by slight percentages in Texas and Ohio aren’t real wins for Clinton. A ‘win’ would be anything that significantly closes the gap in delegates. Symbolic victories mean nothing at this point, other than encouraging her to plow ahead in this campaign, amassing a greater campaign debt than already exists and delaying her ability to ...
