This week's Tote Board column looks at the massive general election precedents facing Barack Obama.
The party’s over. Only, apparently, no one is brave enough to tell Hillary Clinton. Granted, I pay more attention to “momentum” and to trends in public opinion polling than to the delegate math. But I learned something that startled me today. According...
Obama's speech on race in Philadelphia yesterday was wonderful rhetoric and the reaction has been almost universally positive. But will it help his campaign? On that, of course, the jury is out and we won't have any answers until at least the...
As we noted recently, it's always been our view that blogs belong to the people who read them
and post. So, in that spirit, the Tote Board has been seeking anyone
interested to file guest blog dispatches. The
requirements are that, as always in this...
Sporting analogies are overdone in politics but this year's Democratic campaign -- with its clear demographic contours -- is a bit like a tennis match. Obama last night won a state he was predicted to win. Now, on to Pennsylvania, where it's up...
Obama's Dark-Horse Veep List: 1. Senator Russ Feingold: The strongest counterpoint to the McCain aura of reform and cleaning the corporate system up. If Senator Obama is truly serious about challenging the 'Iraq Mindset' he needs to strongly...
The huge problem facing Barack Obama is clearly outlined in the latest Pew poll : A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in a general election test against Obama. The "defection" rate among...
This week's column looks at the problems ahead for the Democrats and why Hillary Clinton could well be the stronger general election candidate.

The radio preview of tonight.
What's at stake in tonight's primaries? Actually, it's pretty straightforward. If Obama sweeps Ohio and Texas, it's over. If Clinton sweeps, she'll still trail in delegates but she still has a chance to win the nomination -- though...
The press has been approaching the
upcoming contests in Ohio and Texas (with two other states voting) as
the end of the line for the Clinton campaign. That could happen but
it's far less likely than the media has been assuming. Sure, if Obama
wins...
Recently, much of the focus from the Clinton camp centers on a not-so-subtle bias toward Obama in the "mainstream media". The complaints have focused on the media's portrayal an Obama win as virtually inevitable, and the sense that all her...
This week's Tote Board column ,
"One For the Books," examines a new book by Ted Van Dyk which, by
looking at the past, says a lot about the future of the Democratic
party.
