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 [...]

The GOP has an advantage here in picking last and can adjust to what Obama does.
Personally, I think Hillary is a non-starter here: the campaign has been too nasty, Barack doesn’t want the dynamic duo’s negatives, and I think I can conVince you that Michelle Obama Fosters serious reservations obout Hillary being one heartbeat away [...]

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.

“The race is close to over. If Mrs Clinton chooses to drag it out, it is hard to see how she could continue later than May 20th. By then, three more states will have voted: Kentucky, West Virginia and Oregon. The first two are strong for her, the last for him, but they are all [...]

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, [...]

In his press release on Cinco De Mayo, which also announced a web site for his campaign launching in Spanish, a quick note was left at the bottom regarding an upcoming event that McCain will attend:
Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced [...]

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 [...]
