The Political Inquirer

After a long season of ‘deadlocked’ primaries, the media is finally conceding that Obama has effectively won the nomination. Though no one will outright say it, today’s headlines tell the story.
MSNBC: “Team Obama Preps for Battle”
MSNBC: “Analysis: Where Clinton’s Campaign Went Wrong”
CNN: “Obama catches Clinton is [...]

From Norm, a story posted at FreeRepublic:
A Chicago pol’s wife gets a 200 grand salary bump (almost tripling her compensation) and a year later hubby seeks to channel a million bucks to the wife’s employer. Good old time Chicago poltics, right?
Apparently not, because the candidate in question is running on a platform of change, and [...]

We can all make mistakes and misspeak except we aren’t running for President. I play this for Mike O. just to show that they all misspeak at one time or another. We didn’t have recording devices then but I bet even Lincoln misspoke: occasionally. I think we judged a bit too harshly on some of [...]

John McCain responded to Barack Obama’s charge that he is “losing his bearings” by retorting to Obama that he is not “old.” Obama has not and will not inject “age” into this campaign because that is not his style. I would be deeply offended if the Obama campaign did use “age” as an argument in [...]

As most of you know, I am generally against the war in Iraq. I favor protests against the United States’s foreign policy, and agree with Representative Ron Paul on how foreign policy should be conducted. I do not, however, condone Code Pink. They are, in my view, a whacky organization not bent on remembering the [...]

Sadly, I think Paul Begala is right. Democrats just cannot win without the working “blue collar” votes–if Obama can’t pick up enough of those, he will still get 45% of the vote but lose in a Dukakis-type fashion. Begala “The Forehead” had this to say:
On Tuesday night, we mentioned the dustup between two Democratic pundits, [...]

Barack Obama advances much closer to the Democratic nomination for President as he roundly defeats Hillary Clinton in North Carolina and wins a morale victory in Indiana. But Obama didn’t just defeat Hillary Clinton, but he also defeated Rush Limbaugh and his merry band of followers such as Ann Coulter and the cast of Fox [...]

Interesting list that Norm sent me for Obama, the one below it is a list of Clinton lies that I found and put up as well. The Obama list is a bit longer, but please add your own list of lies that either of these two candidates have made, could make for some interesting discussion:
Obama’s [...]

More from the New York Times: a delegate calculator to see what each candidate needs to win.

My prediction for the primaries is that the Indiana polling data is correct, Hillary will win there by a comfortable enough margin. It seems to be about 48.3% for Clinton and 42.5% for Obama, according to RealClearPolitics, I suspect the end result will be around a 5 point lead for Clinton.
North Carolina is where it [...]

On FOX News Sunday, Bill Kristol just said he is convinced Hillary can win North Carolina if they keep it up. Apparently the Republican Party’s ad connecting some of Wright’s statements to Obama is hurting Barack in the polls and helping Hillary.
I don’t think she can win, it seems way too hopeful to me for [...]
