In margins of support ranging from 50% to 90%, Barak Obama convincingly won the Washington, Nebraska, Louisiana and Virgin Islands races. The Clintonian spin is that they were outspent in the contests which I suppose is at least as accurate as anything they've said recently. I mean there's not a lot of room to spin when you get crushed everywhere. It does...

The Wall Street Journal editorial board is hardly the voice of reason (or, frequently, sanity), but they know a huge bureaucratic mess of a government system when they see one, and HillaryCare is it.

Clinton lying to her supporters to jack up her fundraising? I'm afraid I'm not surprised any more: One longtime Democratic consultant not affiliated with any campaign wondered if perhaps the whole thing wasn't a big stunt to garner media attention and look like an "underdog." "I'd take this revelation as a sign that they planned this whole thing," the...

Congress has decided to add $168 billion to the deficit over two years so they can rush rebates of $600 to $1,200 to most taxpayers plus $300 per child. This harebrained scheme will neither avert recession nor do anything other than exacerbate the economic difficulties we face. The entire Bush recovery since 2001 has been based on deficit spending, a fact...

Hillary loans her campaign $5 million as some of her staff starts working for free. Not a good financial indicator in a major campaign. Meanwhile Obama challenges donors to match Hillary's $5 million, and they top it in less than a day. (Full disclosure: I helped.) In turn, Hillary challenges her donors to donate $3 million in three days, essentially...

A more accurate delegate count emerges, and lo and behold, Obama wins Super Tuesday! Obama's people think they have nine to 14 more delegates than Clinton from yesterday and of course they won most of the states and played strongly elsewhere. Overall, Obama now trails Clinton by about 70 delegates (because of Clinton's lead in unelected "superdelegates"),...

Obama wins Alaska, Alabama, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota and Utah. That, plus being competitive enough in the states Clinton won should leave the delegate count from Super Tuesday about even--or at least well within the Obama camp's stated goal of being down 100 delegates or less on...

Obama raised $32 million in January, a number that his campaign has hardly been quiet about. The rumors I hear indicate that Clinton raised roughly $10 million, and the comparative silence from her side would seem to confirm a lower figure. If true, Feb. 5 becomes essential to her candidacy because the polling numbers are trending against her, in same...

Andrew Sullivan and I think a lot alike. Except I'm not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. =)

I don't believe in the United States as a nanny-state. More laws equal less individual freedom and individual freedom is what our government is supposed to protect. (It always drives me nuts when President Bush claims it's his job to protect America--it's not: It's to defend the Constitution.) So Hillary Clinton's latest statement about her healthcare plan...
