How W.H. gay marriage declarations affect other Democratic candidates
2012-05-11 23:11:00
Comments made by Vice President Biden and President Obama in support of gay marriage this week are trickling down to Democrats running for office this year, placing some in an awkward electoral positions ahead of November. When Obama first expressed support for gay marriage on Wednesday, much was made of the potential impact on his own ...
Hillary Clinton?s Concession And Obama Endorsement Speech
2008-06-08 05:03:00
Today, Sen. Hillary Clinton officially suspended her campaign, conceded and endorsed Barack Obama.  It was a strong speech and certainly makes some of the doomsday speculation over the past few days seem a bit silly.

Historical Comparisons and Meaning: Clinton Should Have Conceded
2008-06-06 02:25:00
Over at the Plank, professor David Greenberg argues about the timetable of Clinton’s concession. He cites three examples: Gary Hart in 1984, Ted Kennedy in 1980, and Morris Udall in 1976, and finds Clinton’s concession this coming Saturday to be at the least on par with the other two.

When Does Leading Become Winning?
2008-05-19 21:27:00
The Clinton and Obama campaign are arguing over what tomorrow’s primaries are going to mean. That is when Obama is going to secure a majority of pledged delegates. That won’t be enough to put him over the top - he’ll need more superdelegates and add-ons, but it does mean something.

With approximately 10 minutes notice to reporters, the Obama campaign held a conference call today with Pennysylvania Bosnia veterans to discuss Sen.

Kabul, 18 April (AKI) - (by Syed Saleem Shahzad) - US presidential candidate Barack Obama has generated broad support in Afghanistan, while Somalis would prefer to work with his Democratic rival Senator Hillary Clinton.These are the findings of a survey conducted by the international think-tank, The Senlis Council, in Afghanistan and Somalia in March and April. According to the think-tank, the results of this year's US presidential elections are "critical to both countries," as they are both "strongly affected by US policy". When asked which of the presidential candidates they would back, 69 percent of those questioned in Afghanistan favoured Obama, while 26 percent were in favour of Clinton. In Somalia, 47 percent of civilians surveyed supported Clinton, while 44 percent backed Obama.

Ben Smith has the details, and says it’s a not a good thing for Clinton. I’d tend to agree, but I think the stakes were sort of exaggerated in Florida from the start. Most of the Edwards supporters probably would have gone to Obama at the convention. Clinton loses a chance at a bigger win, ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "No Re-Vote In Florida", url: "http://2008central.net/2008/03-/17/no-re-vote-in-florida/" });

But I haven’t seen anyone else say that this is an opportunity for Obama; an opportunity for a high profile backing of Wright’s preaching of the gospel and of Wright’s ability to ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A Brief Comment on Wright and Obama", url: "http://2008central.net/2008/03-/14/a-brief-comment-on-wright-a-nd-obama/" });
