      Hillary Slams MoveOn

      Hillary Clinton told a closed-door fundraiser that the Democratic "activist base" was to blame for her Super Tuesday losses, the Huffington Post reports. She singled out MoveOn.org for damage to her campaign. "They know I don't agree with them," Clinton said. "So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me." More »

      Lieberman Would Speak at RNC

      Former Democrat Joe Lieberman could cross the aisle in primetime to give a speech in support of John McCain at September's Republican National Convention, the Hill reports. The Connecticut Independent hasn't been tapped yet, but told reporters, “If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will." More »

      Did McCain Almost Switch Sides?

      John McCain has been feverishly polishing his conservative credentials lately, but the Republican nominee has twice flirted with crossing the aisle for good, the New York Times points out. In 2001, fresh from a bitter election battle with George W. Bush, he considered switching parties, and in 2004 he talked with John Kerry about sharing a presidential ticket. More »

      Superdelegate Race Turns in Obama's Favor

      Barack Obama's primary spree is swaying more superdelegates to his side: He has won over 25 of the elite voters and Hillary Clinton has lost two in the past 2 weeks, the AP reports. One California superdelegate has switched from John Edwards to Clinton to undecided, saying superdelegates must pick "the candidate that people have chosen, as opposed to advocating for our own choice."

      Barack Sweeps Hawaii

      Barack Obama made it a clean sweep yesterday when he nailed a big victory in Hawaii on top of Wisconsin, tallying ten wins in a row, AP reports. Voters turned out in record numbers for the state's Democratic caucuses and early returns show that more than three-quarters of them favored native son Obama. The victories deal fresh blows to Hillary Clinton's White House hopes. More »

      Obama Keeps Rolling in Maine

      Barack Obama continued his weekend sweep by winning the Maine caucuses today, MSNBC projects. Glacial temperatures and 8 inches of snow didn't stop lineups from forming across the state, where one Obama backer called him "a once-in-a-generation leader." Obama currently leads Hillary Clinton by 57% to 42% with 70% of votes tallied. More »

    • Clinton Still Leads in the Big States

      Clinton Still Leads in the Big States

      Barack Obama's landslide win in South Carolina gave the Illinois senator a hefty boost in the lead-up to Super Tuesday, but the big states are voting on Feb. 5, and Clinton holds the lead in most of them. The sheer diversity will prevent candidates from doing the whistle-stop campaigning that's gone into the races so far, and the demographic seem to play to her strengths, with large numbers of Latinos and white women. But many Democratic voters remain undecided, polls are often inaccurate, and Obama has the Kennedys on his side. More »

      ¿Como Se Dice ‘Caucus’ En Español?

      Iowa and New Hampshire may get most of the crowning glory, but Nevada's demographics make its "First in the West" contest a significant political battleground, the Las Vegas Sun says. As the state caucused today, the hometown paper polishes off the differences between the Silver State and its two predecessors—namely a Hispanic population that makes up almost a quarter of the state's total, and a transient population up 30% since 2000.

      Campaigning's a Family Affair— Except for Rudy

      Bill Clinton yesterday gave up a precious New Year's Day on the couch watching football games to stump for his wife in Iowa, where he joked to the crowd that his football sacrifice prompted Hillary to say, "Finally, after all these years I know you do love me," AP reports. He was hardly alone: Iowa has been a family affair, with most of the candidates bringing out the extended clan. The exception: Rudy Giuliiani. More »
