The more often Hillary describes Obama as a seriously flawed candidate — though not a Muslim, as far as she knows — the truer that statement becomes. So Rachael , while I love your idealism and see nothing naive about caring more for your country than Read More...

The brouhaha over Charlotte Allen's awful essay continued today on Washingtonpost.com, where the author fielded questions from readers almost as uniformly incensed as XXers were by the piece. She started off the chat by poking a huge hole in Outlook editor Read More...

Well, I woke up this morning, switched on my computer, read the headlines, and suddenly had a nightmare vision of Denver-Democratic-Convention-as-Florida-in-2000: a political horror show in which two candidates are running neck and neck, both sides are Read More...

Check's in the mail, Hanna . Not sure how our bake sale/carwash/raffle to end the never-ending primary fits into the campaign-finance laws, but let's let the lawyers figure that out. I don't know whether Rush Limbaugh had an effect on the Texas or Ohio Read More...

I hear you, Hanna and Emily et al.—OK, pretty much everybody, now—and no doubt you're right, but I have to confess that I don't feel entirely ready for this to be over. I like this contest. I like the analysis and entrail-reading. I like getting up in Read More...

Well, as Chris Matthews rather too harshly pointed out to Hillaryland's Lisa Caputo last night, it can't really be buyer's remorse, given that each state is a new group of buyers. (Still, ungallant to have someone on and then tell her that her metaphor Read More...

I'm also ready to close the deal already, one way or the other. That sentiment doesn't exactly seem to be sweeping the nation, though, at least not when each state gets its turn to vote. And those women: Wow, are they coming out in droves—59 percent of Read More...

My only thought this morning is that I really want it to be over. I'll vow to raise $5 million for Hillary if she'll drop out. Second thought: I'm glad Cindy traded canary yellow for red—it looks better on her. Hillary boringly wore red, as I predicted. Read More...

I spent the night trying and failing to find a caucus to eavesdrop on here in El Paso. A volunteer at Hillary's headquarters downtown gave me a bum steer, and I found myself at an empty courthouse. Instead, I headed to a Chili's near a caucus center. Read More...
