“I too am insulted at the idea that just because I am a person of color and a woman that I should be expected to automatically vote for Obama or Hillary. Why are white men allowed to look at the issues and judge for themselves and the rest of us are expected to take sides grade school style? That is …

As expected, the New York Times today endorsed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary. As Democrats look ahead to the primaries in the biggest states on Feb. 5, The Times’s editorial board strongly recommends that they select Hillary Clinton as their nominee for the 2008 presidential election. [snip] As strongly as we back her candidacy, we urge Mrs. Clinton to …

Yowtch. Just posted by the Clinton campaign.

Well, you can’t say last night’s Democratic debate was boring. Hillary and Obama both got off some good lines. “You worked for a SLUMLORD!” “Oh, yeah? Well, youuuuu sat on the board of Wallllll-mart!” My favorite moment was when Obama told Hillary that sometimes he didn’t know if he was running against her or her husband. Ooh, suh-NAP! Hillary was …

Hillary Clinton went on Meet The Press yesterday to defend her comments on the Civil Rights Act, which is being widely interpreted as “I am LBJ, Obama is MLK“, despite the fact that Clinton clearly didn’t quite say or mean that. However, that meme is now being widely repeated in newspapers and online, causing quite a bit of added ill …

Black progressives are not responding favorably to an interview Hillary Clinton gave to Fox News earlier this week in which she said that while Martin Luther King may have provided the inspiration for the civil rights movement, it was Lyndon B. Johnson who made the difference for having signed the Civil Rights Act into law. The Clinton pull-quote getting the …

“Hillary’s willingness to tolerate Bill’s compulsive philandering is a function of her general contempt for men. She distrusts them and feels morally superior to them. Following the pattern of her long-suffering mother, she thinks it is her mission to endure every insult and personal degradation for a higher cause — which, unlike her self-sacrificing mother, she identifies with her near-messianic …

In a column in today’s Wall Street Journal, evil GOP mastermind Karl Rove lays out four reasons he thinks Hillary Clinton won in New Hampshire: Mrs. Clinton won a narrow victory in New Hampshire for four reasons. First, her campaign made a smart decision at its start to target women Democrats, especially single women. It has been made part of …

Defying pollsters and pundits who had all but crowned Barack Obama, yesterday Hillary Clinton pulled off a stunning upset in the New Hampshire primary, winning narrowly with 39% of the vote to Obama’s 37%. McCain repeated his 2000 win in NH, besting Mitt Romney by 5%. Clinton’s own team had been prepared for a loss. It appears that Obama actually …

A front-row heckler interrupted Hillary Clinton’s speech to supporters in New Hampshire last night, shouting “Iron my shirt!” and waving a sign with the same message. An unseen man in the rear of the auditorium did the same. Clinton handled the man with aplomb and sent him off with, “If there’s anybody left in the auditorium who wants to learn …

After last night’s Iowa Caucus results, some are saying the GOP is now in total disarray, and others are expressing shock that the once seemingly unstoppable Clinton train has gone off the rails, with the New York Times calling her performance a startling setback. (THIRD place?) And not that anybody noticed or cares, but both Joe Biden and Chris Dodd …

I’ll confess that I still don’t fully understand the rules for today’s Iowa Caucus. Predictions?

Ann Coulter was on Fox News on Tuesday to say that she originally thought that Obama’s recent surge in the polls was faked because the MSM was “bored” and trying to make the Democratic campaign into a “horse race.” Coulter admitted to being surprised that Obama’s rise in the polls was actual and that Clinton may be in trouble. Then: …

I’ve been thinking that the Clinton campaign was going to answer the Obama-Oprah combo with an endorsement from a major black celeb of their own. Yesterday the Clintons toured with HIV+ former NBA star Magic Johnson, who compared Obama to a rookie basketball player, saying, “You don’t want somebody in there that is young or a rookie at politics. We …

According to the Wall Street Journal , aides to Michael “Not A Presidential Candidate” Bloomberg are hoping for a Clinton-Giuliani showdown after the primaries. One scenario — and the one aides are hoping for — would be a race between fellow New Yorkers Hillary Clinton and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Sen. Clinton’s negative rating is the highest in either party, …

Via Bilerico: At long last, the most important endorsement of the 2008 presidential election is here. During a press event last night in New York, Madonna made it official: She’s backing Hillary Clinton for the White House. According to Madonnalicious – the online community of all things ‘Material,’ – her Madgesty responded, when asked “Hillary or Obama?,” with an enthusiastic …

Breaking News: An armed man, possibly with a bomb, has taken people hostage at Hillary Clinton’s campaign office in Rochester, N.H. Clinton was attending a National Democratic Committee meeting in Virginia, but has canceled a 3:30 p.m. EST speech. New York TV station WNBC reported that the suspect has demanded to speak to her. Police said a man in his …

The day after Barack Obama announced his tour with Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced that THEY had Barbra Streisand on board. So there. Legendary filmmaker, artist, and Democratic activist, Barbra Streisand, today endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. Streisand cited Clinton’s ability to bring about change and the historic nature of her campaign as reasons why she is supporting Hillary’s …

I was fairly impressed with Hillary Clinton’s performance at last night’s Democratic debate in Las Vegas. But claiming that she doesn’t constantly stress that she’s a w-o-m-a-n seems a little dishonest.

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) has endorsed Hillary Clinton and joined her campaign as an economic advisor. Barney Frank: “Based on my work with her on issues involving discrimination, I am convinced that Hillary Clinton is the candidate best equipped to pass laws that will treat all Americans with dignity, fairness and equality, no matter who they are or who they …
