June 2008
- A Vote for the Obama-Clinton 'Unity Ticket' ...
  
  newser | Salon | Jun 16, 08 12:18 PM CDT
  
  The logic for Hillary Clinton as Barack Obama's running mate is simple, writes Ed Kilgore for Salon: "Obama doesn't have any obvious alternative option that will please everyone, much less provide the political payoff of an Obama-Clinton ticket.” Kilgore notes that rank-and-file Democrats support the pairing and refutes a laundry list of anti-Clinton arguments.

- ... and a Vote for Sticking With the Message of Change
  
  newser | Salon | Jun 16, 08 12:17 PM CDT
  
  Barack Obama has a plethora of reasons to reject Hillary Clinton as his running mate, Thomas Schaller writes in Salon, but the most important is consistency: "Obama's decision to cast himself as a fresh alternative to both the Bushes and the Clintons is reason enough for him to choose somebody other than Hillary." Schaller lays out four anti-Clinton arguments and concludes by urging Obama to move quickly. More »

- Bolting Clinton Fans? It's a GOP Myth
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 15, 08 6:27 AM CDT
  
  John McCain's aggressive courtship of Hillary Clinton's female supporters shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention, Frank Rich writes in the New York Times. "The fictional scenario of mobs of crazed women defecting to Mr. McCain" rather than Barack Obama fits right in with the "new bogus narrative" that ignores a plethora of statistics, which Rich runs down.

- Buffalo Boy Made Good
  
  newser | Time | Jun 13, 08 6:35 PM CDT
  
  Tim Russert, who died today at age 58, was "possibly America's most influential political journalist," James Poniewozik writes in Time . His no-nonsense style was informed by a Jesuit education in working class Buffalo—but not all appreciated his "gotcha," visceral style of questioning. Yet "his Meet the Press was anything but toothless, and it became established as a required trial by fire for political leaders," Poniewozik writes. More »

- Sexism? Media Disagree With Clinton Backers
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 13, 08 7:16 AM CDT
  
  Now that Hillary Clinton has suspended her presidential campaign, her most ardent supporters are hitting out at television news, proposing boycotts and setting up websites in response to allegedly sexist coverage. But as the New York Times reports, many in the media see little evidence of sexism. Rather, they accuse the ex-candidate of having used a few glaring examples to drum up support for a faltering campaign. More »

- Campaign Debt? What Campaign Debt?
  
  newser | Politico | Jun 12, 08 9:58 AM CDT
  
  Some clever and mostly legal accounting tricks could minimize Clinton's big campaign debt and leave her with cash on hand for king-making or another future campaign, reports Politico. Hillary could reclassify her own loans to the campaign as contributions, ask donors to redirect their cash to her Senate campaign, and take it slow on repaying understanding debtors. More »

- How About a Sex Speech, Obama?
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 12, 08 8:27 AM CDT
  
  It’s a shame that Hillary Clinton never gave a speech about gender to match Barack Obama’s speech about race, writes Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times. So why not make that speech yourself, Barack? Kristof even has the talking points for you: Racism is deeper, but sexism may be wider. More Americans say they’d vote for a black man than a woman. Biases are stealthy. Americans don’t mean to discriminate based on gender; but the subconscious harbors stereotypes. More »

- Clinton Hit List Is Talk of the Beltway
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 11, 08 12:51 PM CDT
  
  Wounds from Election 2008 aren’t quickly being papered over in Clintonland, the New York Times reports in a speculative piece about who is likely to be on the former first couple's enemies list. How deep will animosity toward Obama boosters Bill Richardson, Jim Clyburn, and Claire McCaskill run? Use of words like “ingrate,” “traitor,” and “enemy” by Clinton associates may not tell the whole tale, but Hillary ’08 chairman does say, “You have to keep track of this.” More »

- Hillary's Next Challenge: Paying Bills
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 10, 08 7:35 AM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton's White House bid made history—by ending with what is believed to be the largest presidential campaign debt ever. The New York senator had approximately $9.5 million in unpaid bills at the end of April, not to mention $11.4 of her own money that she lent the campaign. The Clinton campaign is still adding up the final tally, but her options for retiring her debt are limited. More »

- Campaign Tarnishes Clintons' Legacy
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 9, 08 9:09 AM CDT
  
  Hillary and Bill Clinton have led complicated public lives, but they’ve always been winners. Now Hillary’s defeat has jeopardized that legacy, thanks to a campaign that saw her repeatedly stretch the truth, invoke assassination, and lose African-American support. It’s one thing to employ questionable tactics and win, one supporter tells the New York Times . “It’s another to go flat-out in that mode and fail.” More »

- How She Came Undone
  
  newser | New York Times | Jun 8, 08 12:02 PM CDT
  
  Bill Clinton’s interfering tenacity and squabbling aides killed Hillary Clinton’s chances to win the White House, the New York Times eulogizes in an obituary of the campaign that once seemed indestructible. “Hers was the campaign of destiny, a back-to-the-future effort to restore the Democratic dynasty of the 1990s that could never quite escape the last decade,” write Peter Baker and Jim Rutenberg.

  An emotional audience packed the National Building Museum to watch Hillary Clinton exit the campaign with a speech that finally addressed the historic nature of her candidacy, Dana Milbank writes in the Washington Post . Some in the largely female audience wept as she spoke; some booed at the mention of Barack Obama’s name. “This isn't exactly the party I'd planned, but I sure like the company," said Clinton.

  Bill and Hillary Clinton will stay on the political scene, but today marked the end of an era for America’s top power couple, John Harris writes in Politico. The Clintons have spent nearly 40 years fixated on the White House—it was the organizing principle of their lives together—and now, for Hillary, that dream is over. More »

- Noonan to Dems: You Dodged a Bullet
  
  newser | Wall Street Journal | Jun 6, 08 5:18 PM CDT
  
  Hooray, Democrats! You dumped Hillary Clinton, not for her positions, or because you were sexist, but over her "essential nature," Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal . Another Clinton White House would have meant lies, scandal, drama, and "the sheer, daily madness that is her, and him"—aka, husband Bill. "She lost because enough Democrats looked at her and thought: I don't like that, I don't like the way she does it, I'm not going there ," Noonan writes. More »
