  • A master stroke

    Let’s give the McCain campaign credit for one thing: They sure know how to steal the Democrats’ thunder. Democrats dominated the nation’s attention this week with their convention, culminating with their historic affirmation of Barack Obama as the first African-American to nominated for president by a major political party. Sen. Obama punctuated that with what…

  • Hillary’s speech

    Hillary needed to do three things last night: (1) Tell her supporters not to vote for John McCain (2) Tell her supporters why they should vote Democrat. (3) Tell her supports why they should support Obama, in particular. In my view, Hillary did the first two and didn’t even attempt the third. Her rationale for…

  • Hillary was right!

    Open hearts and minds: The good people of West Virginia In other words: You elites look down on us white people, thinking you’re better than us, thinking, like, just because we didn’t go to no college, you can put a black man over us. Well, ain’t you precious. All I got is my vote and…

  • What groove?

    How Bill Clinton Got His Groove Back says the headline to an Adam Nagourney piece of hagiography on the website of The New York Times (I don’t know if it ran in the paper, or is slated to run tomorrow). My question is this: Did the former president get his groove back, or is the…

  • A Well-liked Gentleman

    In the remaining days before Super Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama, (D-IL), is reaping endorsements like they’re going out of style. What I know is that, whether this pushes him over the hump in California or not, this is impressive. The L.A. Times said this in its endorsement: An Obama presidency would present, as a distinctly…

  • Statue Unveiled, Hil Hails Eleanor

ALLEN and DON SINGLETON Daily News Staff Writers Two American First Ladies came together in Riverside Park yesterday afternoon, one the current occupant of the White House and the other a larger-than-life bronze statue. With songs and speeches and flags that rippled gently in the sunshine of a perfect…
