The Obama campaign continues to dazzle me with the strategic and tactical brilliance of the people recruited to manage it. Just think about it: Innovative uses of the Internet to attract donors and activists on an unprecedented scale; grass roots organizing–the 50-state strategy plus full court press in now increasingly purple states that used to […]

My state, Wisconsin, hasn’t gone for a Republican in the presidential election since Reagan in 1984, even though Republicans controlled the governor’s mansion from 1987 through 2003, and they have controlled the State Assembly since 1995.

Keeping the election looking like a horse race keeps eyeballs on the tube, and the 24-hour news cycle means that you have to be […]

They were all suppose to be for Hillary. Now they are suppose to be Obama’s Achilles’ heel, ready to vote for McCain. But there is something else going on out there.

On Salon Table Talk, a McCain supporter asks,
