I just finished reading a wonderful new article to be published in tomorrow's New York Time's by Gail Collins who interviewed Secretary Clinton before the election. I get every indication that once Hillary chills for a year, she will run in 2016.
As predicted on this site and manifested in countless elections, the right wing still does not get it! And it's not just them, it's the usual suspects in the mainstream media.
I was watching the President on MSNBC speaking live to a crowd at Mentor High School in Mentor, Ohio at around 12:25 EST. Suddenly, the MSNBC host Alex Witt broke in and said that they would return to the President if there was any new nugget they could glean from his stump speech. But what she said next was a bit surprising......or not.
Tea Party darling freshmen Senator Marco Rubio (R) Florida, was exposed today in the Washington Post for lying about his family history.
In an unprecedented gesture that has sent official Washington buzzing with the audacity of his latest move, GOP front-runner Herman Cain has announced his cabinet should he become President of the United States.
Jeffrey Toobin has an excellent article in the New Yorker on Clarence Thomas and his plans to derail the President's Health Care law through his own special right-wing brand of judicial activism. But the article reveals a lot of new information on the most powerful man on the Supreme Court.

The election of Barack Obama as the 44th President was a triumph for progressive Americans who had elected the most progressive/liberal president since LBJ in 1964. The fact that many of us have experienced some disappointment in the President during the first 2.5 years of his tenure does not mean that he hasn't been a very good president.

With the historic passage of the repeal of DADT, we have yet another example of the conservative movement and its perfect record of opposing civil rights and standing in the way of progress.
President Barack Obama just announced his latest surrender to the right-wing. This one involves the extension of tax cuts for the wealthy as well as a reduction in the estate tax. At the rate he is going, is he perhaps angling for the Republican nomination in 2012?
It has become quite apparent that when one party brands both itself and the other party while that other party does neither, it puts the latter party in serious trouble. Such has been the case for decades in American politics.
As the vote comes up today for passage of Health Care Reform, it is becoming evident that should the bill pass (and in all likelihood it will) that Speaker Nancy Pelosi will emerge as the central hero of this story.
