democratic primaries

The voting for Democratic nominee officially kicks off tonight in Iowa, and I'd like to have a thread in which we try to game out how it all shakes out on one side of the aisle, preferably in quantifiable terms. Personally I think Bernie is going to finish very strong tonight, probably taking...

It seems like DNC bigwigs are finally confirming that Hillary is indeed done: "Joe Biden knew he could beat Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination but decided not to run because he feared a “stop at nothing” smear campaign by her supporters, he reveals in a new...

We all certainly remember that Sanders' supporters claimed the DNC had the thumb on the scale for Hillary. Now it seems that the thumb was Hillary's. It would be fair to say at this point that the 2016 Democratic Primary was flat out rigged...

...propose and offer specific legislation representative of what they would advocate for, propose, support and promote as the nation's political leader. Imagine, political leadership in the realm of drafting and crafting public policy, and then rallying and building public support, passing and...

That would be "Anybody But Hillary". I'm a liberal/progressive. So is she. I'm in my late 60's. So is she. I'm a guy. She's not. That's cool. BUT: She has baggage. So dang much baggage. Most of it is wildly exaggerated, and the rest entirely made up, but still: baggage. * Her husband...

OK, folks! Let's get this ball rolling. I'll go ahead and seed the field with some mentionables of note. Your thoughts? GOP P. Ryan, representative from WI C. Christie, governor of NJ M. Rubio, senator from FL J. Bush, former governor of FL M. Bachmann, representative from MN M. Romney...

Liberals seeking primary challengers to Obama :whistling

As they do every four years, working as hard as they possibly can to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, the Democratic Party is in the process of handing the White House to John McCain. We're not even close to the convention and we've got Obama's preacher versus Hillary's sniper fire...

It turns out that according to CNN Obama won Texas 99 to 94. According to RCP, 98 to 95. So for March it's exactly a tie in terms of delegates (By RCP's count). Clinton's victories in Ohio and Rhode Island are offset by Obama's in Texas, Wyoming, Vermont and Mississippi. Also, Obama has now...

Hillary Clinton has sunk to a new low. http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/328257.aspx This strikes me as an act of desperation. I'm firmly convinced now that Clinton's campaign has tanked. Are there really undecided Democratic votes to be picked up among the 700 Club's audience? Whatever else I'd...

I just heard an interesting story on NPR about the primary results in Florida. The reporter stated that not only did Hillary win the Democrat primary, but she also got more votes than any of the Republican candidates. Anyone have the stats handy? I'll get to googling later this AM when I...
