Obama (
RSS)
Both Fox and CNN have called
Wisconsin for Obama. The exit
poll data showed, for example, that only 40% of the Wisconsin
Democratic electorate
had a college degree. That's a demographic mix tailor-made for Hillary
and her inability to prevail tonight...
Tonight's Wisconsin primary isn't
going to determine who wins the Democratic nomination, though in a race
this close everything counts. But it bears watching. So far, if you
accept the notion that Clinton and Obama represent roughly equal
constituencies...
It's now all over the web and will
soon be all over the newscasts. On Saturday night, in a speech in
Wisconsin, Barack Obama "borrowed" some phrasing from a speech Deval
Patrick gave over a year ago, during his own campaign. It seems inadvertent;...
This week's column shows how Clinton's ineptitude in running her own campaign may well show she is hardly prepared to be president.
The delegate race is still close.
And, yes, Clinton can come back. But she'll have to win Ohio and Texas
on March 4 or the pressure will be enormous on her to scale back her
campaign and her principal argument -- that Obama can't win the big
states...
If the present trends continue,
Barack Obama will pass HIllary Clinton in most unofficial delegate
counts on Tuesday night -- after the so-called Potomac primary of
Virginia, Maryland, and DC. This hardly guarantees him the nomination.
But it's hugely...
The Democrats and demography: The Tote Board on WBUR/NPR.
Endorsements are mostly good things, of course, but occasionally they come with a downside. That fact is being demonstrated again in the run-up to Super Tuesday as Barack Obama pours more money and time into Massachusetts when, in truth, those valuable...
One of the strengths of the Democratic Party is that it’s always had a group of statesmen such as Clark Clifford or Ted Sorensen on the sidelines, ready to lend an objective hand to any Democratic president or candidate needing outside advice. Perhaps...
The Tote Board may have acquired a severe case of campaign fatigue because, for once, we agree with Bill Kristol .
Tonight's GOP debate is important -- and to a lesser extent, so is
tomorrow's Democratic face-off -- both because it's crunch...
With the Obama endorsement of Ted Kennedy following in the footsteps of endorsements from party luminaries such as Claire McCaskill, Janet Napolitano, and Kent Conrad, it’s clear that Hillary Clinton is not getting the support of some of the establishment...
Most endorsements don't mean much, as we've noted often, but the report that Ted Kennedy will endorse Barack Obama will help -- especially in Massachusetts where Obama is believed to be within striking distance of Hillary Clinton. There's...
Barack Obama has won a huge victory tonight
over Hillary Clinton -- so much so that he apparently will go
over 50% and Clinton will finish far closer to Edwards than the winner. Assuming Clinton holds second, no matter how far back she is, tonight's...
With about two thirds of the precincts counted, Clinton has a narrow 50%-45% lead over Obama, with Edwards way back at 5%. The CNN entrance poll , if accurate, also indicates that Clinton is headed to a single-digit win. If the lead holds up, she gets...
The task facing Obama -- the Tote Board's take.
