Tonight on Hardball, Chris Matthews grossly misrepresented the Democratic candidates stated positions on Iraq in the debate last night. Matthews accused the top three candidates — Barack Obama, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton — of disenchanting the Democratic anti-war base by declaring they would “keep American troops in Iraq all the way through 2013. That will [...]
Unfortunately, winning a campaign has everything to do with how much money a candidate can raise, instead of the candidate’s capabilities and potential. Furthermore, the majority of campaign funds are spent on 30-second TV ads, which means America decides who is going to be president based on 30-second sound bites. Tragic.
While this doesn’t mean Edwards [...]
Former Sen. John Edwards gave his best performance yet in the Democratic presidential debate last night held in New Hanover, New Hampshire. He deftly put Sen. Hillary Clinton on the defensive — distinguishing himself as a clear alternative to Clinton’s current front-runner status.
Edward’s best moment came in an exchange with Hillary Clinton after the candidates [...]
Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) finally breaks loose and separates himself from the other candidates in the AARP Democratic presidential debate held in Davenport, Iowa. Biden takes the candidates to task on making promises that they may not be able fulfill because of Republican opposition in Congress. Additionally he enlightens Governor Bill Richardson (NM) on the vast difference of [...]

Christy at FDL is right — there are benefits when the Democrats show a little spine. Ted Olson was George Bush’s first choice to be Gonzales replacement, but Harry Reid said no, and it worked.
Theodore B. Olson, the former solicitor general, was said to be a White House favorite for the post. But talk of [...]
The title is a quote from John Edwards’ response to George Bush’s speech on Iraq last night. It is indeed appropriately to the point after hearing the same tired speech for the 11th time. Edwards says plenty in a few words, but if you want more red meat, today’s editorial in the New York Times [...]
Take a close look at Obama’s hand that he is holding up and see if you notice anything unusual.
This picture is slightly enhanced (brightened) to make it easier to see. Also, the image in this post is smaller than the original - the original won’t fit in the post. Click here to see the original.

Hillary Clinton may still be leading in the national polls, but as of today she is trailing big time in the labor union sector. Today the United Steelworkers and United Mine workers, representing 1.8 million members, endorsed John Edwards.
Furthermore, the Edward’s endorsements appear to be striking a nerve with Hillary Clinton. Her aloof, I’m-in-the-lead attitude [...]
Preface
I recognize this is not a 10- to 15-second-read post and some may not have the time or inclination to follow through the discussion. That notwithstanding, the issue at hand is important. My overriding concern is that many will reject the DNC’s (and RNC for that matter) sanctioning of states not following “the rules,” and [...]
This was announced three days ago, but I missed it. Thursday, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, representing 520,000 members endorsed John Edwards.
After carefully considering all the candidates from both parties, the Carpenters Union chose Edwards as the candidate with the best chance of winning the White House and the person [...]
Several states have said they will hold primary elections earlier than the long-standing schedule established by the DNC. The objective is to increase a given state’s impact on the overall nominating process, which historically has begun with Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina — Florida and California are just two examples. The Democratic [...]

Former President Jimmy Carter appeared with John Edwards today at Georgia Southwestern University and praised Edwards. Carter stopped short of formally endorsing Edwards, but given Carter’s remarks it was an implied endorsement.
“I can say without equivocation that no one who is running for president has presented anywhere near as comprehensive and accurate a prediction of what our [...]
