You can like one of these candidates more than the other but you have got to end active opposition to the other.

Reasons abound why you should do all you can to defeat John McCain -- but for you, it should be personal.

To get the nomination, at this point, you'd have to trade favors with superdelegates or litigate your way into getting states like Florida to count. Either way, the Democratic Party would lose.

Obama and Clinton are not, and never have been our candidates; they are merely the last two standing.

Why then did Senator Clinton, an attorney with so much "experience," resort to using statements, the veracity of which are highly questionable, and amount to double hearsay to boot?

For the sake of the party we beg you to stand down now and not take your flailing doomed-to-fail campaign to the convention.

Obama understands the critical role of citizen movements and works to build them as a force capable of creating major change. It's what we'll need to address this ultimate crisis of global warming.

If the war had gone according to the Republicans' fever dream today we would be as much a one-party nation as Putin's Russia.

We hear plenty about Iraq, some about Iran, a bit about restoring our reputation overseas and the merit of talking to our adversaries, but little about what we are gong to tell them.
Paul Loeb | Posted 02.21.2008 | Politics
In the wake of ten straight losses, Clinton's going to need some miracles to win. The question is how much damage she'll do to Obama and the Democratic chances before she quits.

Imagine the triumphant procession: Barack at the head; after him the hunters leading the wolf; and winding up the procession, grandfather and the cat.

Making a clear commitment to choose Clinton for secretary of state would add much to Obama's appeal, given that his experience in foreign policy is particularly short.
