Hillary’s Job Interview
First and foremost, I need to thank Andrew Romano at Newsweek. In today’s “Stumper” (Newsweek’s hot political blog), Romano provides a link to my post from last week, Clinton Campaign: Obama Wins “Boutique, Latte-Sipping States.”
Romano writes: “As the opening gun sounded yesterday on the uninterrupted six-week Pennsylvania marathon, Clinton’s strategy was clear: appeal to the state’s whiter, older, [...]

Nine out of ten African Americans in today’s Mississippi primary voted for Barack Obama, and with Geraldine Ferraro aboard Hillary Clinton’s sinking ship, that’s no big surprise.
First, the former vice presidential candidate and Clinton supporter won hearts and minds with this gem: “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position… And if he [...]

Forget an Obama aide calling Hillary Clinton a monster. According to the Times Online, a Clinton aide has called the 27 states that Obama has won “boutique” and “latte-sipping.”
“One Clinton aide yesterday derided Mr Obama’s victories in ’boutique’ caucus states rather than the hardscrabble terrain of the rustbelt, saying: ‘Obama has won the small caucus states [...]

Have you ever had the urge to call someone a name behind their back? Well you’d better curb that crazy talk, pal, or you’ll find yourself among the 63,000+ other Americans who lost their job last month.

Larry David on the Red Phone
Comedic genius Larry David (of Curb Your Enthusiasm/Seinfeld fame) shares his take on the Clinton 3 a.m. call commercial with the Huffington Post. His blog entry, “On the Red Phone,” is brief, so I’ve posted it here, in its glorious entirety.
“Here’s an idea for an Obama ad: a montage of Clinton’s Sybillish personalities that have [...]

I am looking for one woman, just one Ohio woman, for whom the ringing phone at 3 a.m. commercial actually made enough of an impression to convince you to vote for Hillary Clinton.
I’m serious. Just one person, and I really truly want to hear the reasoning. Because I honestly thought women were smarter than that. I honestly thought [...]
