–updated with confirmed news below– Bill Schneider on CNN just “announced” that Hillary’s name will be put in nomination at the convention. This could indeed be true, but I’ve not been able to confirm it as of this post. It’s yet another leak without a name attached, as Schneider didn’t say where he got his [...]

Hillary Calls for GAO Investigation of Government Contracts
James Risen wrote recently that the use of contractors in Iraq has reached the level of a private army. The report, by the Congressional Budget Office, according to people with knowledge of its contents, will say that one out of every five dollars spent on the war in Iraq has gone to contractors for the [...]

Inside Camp Clinton
The most stunning part is that some Clintonties handed over this dirt: I approached a number of current and former Clinton staffers and outside consultants and asked them to share memos, e-mails, meeting minutes, diaries—anything that would offer a contemporaneous account. They did and the result is an amazing look inside via Josh Green: … [...]

Primary Dirt
Mike Allen teases Josh Green. AdNags gets a bookend. Green continues his Clinton excavation, which began in 2006. So, strap yourselves in, because HRC supporters are going to relive the primary nightmare, while other Democrats will simply be infuriated at the never ending soap opera. Shorter: Penn should have been fired long before he was. [...]

The Democratic Party Soap Opera Goes Wide
It’s like high school, only the stakes are much higher. But, I told you so. How in the world did grown ups who want to run the free world get in this position? Clinton has made it clear that she is not considering formally fighting Sen. Barack Obama for the nomination in Denver later this [...]

Joint Statement from Clinton and Obama on Convention Unity
This should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been following the stories circulating since a video surfaced last week, with people conjuring up convention “confusion” and unnecessary drama out of it where there is none. That ABC News pushed the story, as did Chris Cilizza of the Washington Post, uploading the video, is another [...]

Senator Clinton Blasts Bush
Senator Clinton writers in the Wall Street Journal today, No Crisis Is Immune From Exploitation Under Bush: In the past few years, the number of corporations flocking to places like the Cayman Islands to evade U.S. taxes has exploded.

Obama’s Doing Just Fine with Women, Thank You, But…
Conservatives are ecstatic over the continuing reports of Obama’s problems with women – more specifically – with Hillary supporters. But how deep are these troubles? No, let’s ask a better question: What proof do we have that this is real? You know, real enough to cause women to vote for John McCain, a man who’s [...]

Surprised that John McCain urges his wife to be a Buffalo Chip gal?
Guest post by Christina Cedeno Don’t be. It’s striking (and telling) that PUMAs give McCain yet ANOTHER pass for his latest “misspeak”.. No really. They do. From the PUMAS over at Hillary Clinton Forum: This will just strengthen the women support for McCain. Before we know, McCain will lead BO in women voters. Those pigs [...]

John McCain Mocks Obama on Dollar Bill- In JUNE.
Guest post by Christina Cedeno All the clamor, haughty condescension, and distasteful rhetoric about “The Race Card” and injections of race into this election shouldn’t even be brought up anymore with this revelation. Senator Obama’s mild statements have seemingly been put under the microscope- a place where, unlike Senator McCain, Senator Obama has been residing [...]

Running Scared
Guest post by Psychodrew. The Toronto Star nails it: Just when you think you’ve got the presidential race figured out, something comes along to upend your carefully wrought conclusions. Mainstream media provided lavish coverage of Barack Obama’s trip abroad the week of July 21 and predicted he would get a bounce in the polls. Some [...]

Obama Could Blow It with his Veep Pick
If not Hillary, who would be a better choice? …Geraldine Ferraro, a Clinton supporter who in 1984 became the first woman on a major party presidential ticket, said Obama should be “gracious” enough to offer Clinton the vice presidency, considering how narrow the race was. Marcia Pappas, who heads the New York state chapter of [...]

Courting Ridicule
Ms. Dowd strikes again, but this time she takes aim at the rogue HRC supporters, adding a new element. These anti Obama zealots, according to Dowd, have also sworn off ever voting for a man. How predictable for Maureen Dowd to make this turn, given her own 1950s world view still hasn’t made the turn [...]

Regrets
As wise as it might be to always look forward and not linger on what might have been, it’s hard not to wonder sometimes. If only Al Gore had picked a running mate that could carry Florida, or proudly ran on his record in the 90s with Bill Clinton by his side. If only John [...]

It’s Over….Or Is It?
Guest post by psychodrew It’s time to let go of the dream. Hillary is going to be in the Senate for the foreseeable future. From Voteboth.com: Because of your work, Senator Obama asked Hillary to be his keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention! We hope you are as pleased as we are that he [...]
