After three days of coughing and spitting and quite literally losing her voice everywhere, Hillary Clinton’s speech tonight sidestepped the odd, preteen claim she recently made about having " found her voice " someplace along the campaign trail. Instead Read More...

The story line tonight is a familiar one. Hillary Clinton built her victories in Nevada and New Hampshire on women, older voters, and voters who make less than $50,000 a year (and in Nevada, Latinos). Tonight, she appears to have leads with some or all Read More...

I remember a conversation I had with a female colleague at the Washington Post . It was right after I'd had my first child and decided to work four days a week instead of five. When my colleague found this out, she looked upon me with utter horror, pity, Read More...

To return to a previous point: Meghan , at least you're in North America! To watch this particular primary race from Europe has been a distinctly odd experience. On the one hand, it's fantasically frustrating, almost homesick-making, to be so far away Read More...

Somewhat lost in the presidential horse race this week, the Senate again takes up the question of retroactive immunity for the phone companies that helped the Bush administration in its illegal eavesdropping program. The rationale for granting telecom Read More...

I've been radio-silent for the past few weeks because I've been on leave from Slate : The Lannan Foundation has kindly put me up in a house in Marfa, a tiny town in far West Texas distinguished by the happy co-existence of transplanted artists and older Read More...

There's an e-mail making the rounds this week that looks like it originates with Nicole Davison , a friend of Chelsea Clinton's, with the subject line "A must read...send to every woman you know..." In the version I got, it looks as if Chelsea forwarded Read More...

Barna Group, which regularly surveys the political mood of conservative Christians, just released one strange set of findings . According to thier latest poll: If the election were held today, most born-again voters would choose the Democratic nominee Read More...
