Thank You, Senator Clinton by The Hot Blog

Gracious... strong... clean. The actions to follow will be more important, but this first step was very important.... mostly to the punditocracy, which can now stop waiting for her to throw more knives into the party's heart. Personal goals and politcal...

Hot Button - Sexism In '08 by The Hot Blog

Jong’s internal conflicts are apparent. As she moans about sexism, she is also worrying that racism will lead to Obama getting assassinated or not elected (in that order). I think one key reason why I – and other Obama supporters – find sexism and other...

Moving On... by The Hot Blog

Obama gave a brilliant, generous speech. Clinton did not. McCain was laughable. And now, the real debate begins. Interestingly, Clinton's being so deeply in denial, still, should eventually lead to a less problematic break when Obama finally does...

Appeasing Me Off by The Hot Blog

The rhetoric of the Republican game today is so false, that I trust it will ultimately be irrelevant. But what struck me was that this kind of game being run at Obama is something the Republicans are taking right out of the Hillary Clinton playbook.....

The Last Words On Clinton? by The Hot Blog

The New York Times' Jo Becker and Christopher Drew put together a very well researched piece on Obama, that offers both his strengths and weaknesses quite fairly, I think. Unlike many of the hurredly thrown together pieces about the South Side politics...
