Keith Olbermann Puts His Money Where His Mouth Is With Donations to Dems

MSNBC host Keith Olbermann donated a total of $7,200 to three different Democrats prior to Tuesday's election. NBC, like many other news organizations, has a policy against its employees making political contributions.

An Obama-Hater for Clinton, Temporarily

Meet Todd Appelbaum, a 46-year-old from Columbus, who wore a shirt that says “Osama for Obama” to the Clinton campaign’s election-night event in Ohio last night.

The white t-shirt, with an image of Barack Obama dressed in traditional Somali garb, is adorned with a blue Hillary Clinton button, although Appelbaum is not what one would call Read More

Clinton, Obama and the Swing-State Argument

A couple of observations about one of the big Clinton talking points after yesterday’s Ohio win: the notion that you can't win in the fall without winning the big swing states that Hillary Clinton is winning in the primaries.

("We need a Democratic candidate who can win battleground states like Ohio!" she said last night.)

A Good Night for Clinton, But Probably Not Enough

Hillary Clinton had a very good night on Tuesday, the first time in a while that can be said.

But for her to emerge as her party’s nominee, it will take Democrats deciding that their standard-bearer should be the candidate who won fewer pledged delegates, fewer popular votes and fewer states in the primary and caucus Read More

Clinton: As Ohio Goes …

A few short minutes after Ohio was called for Hillary Clinton, the candidate took the stage in a blizzard of confetti, next to her daughter, Chelsea, and key Ohio supporters.

“Thank you, Ohio,” said Clinton when the applause finally died down.

McAuliffe Calls Ohio (and Texas and Rhode Island) for Clinton

The official count may not be in, but Terry McAuliffe is ready to call it.

“Let me be crystal clear: Hillary Clinton is not going anywhere,” he told reporters just now at the Clinton watch party here in Columbus. “She’s going to Denver as the nominee.”

“We are going to win three states tonight,” he said.

The March 4 Stakes for Hillary

Two things are obvious: If Hillary Clinton can somehow win both Texas and Ohio, she stays; if she loses both states, she’s tuna fish.

A third possibility—a split decision—will present Clinton the justification to push on if she wishes to, but without any clear way to win.

Let’s say Hillary wins Ohio (as the latest polls suggest Read More

Obama, as Senator Pothole, De-Froths an Ohio Audience

PARMA HEIGHTS, Ohio—The crowd at the Valley Forge high school last night was itching to clap.

Ohio Gov. Says Hillary Could Fight On Without Texas

LAKEWOOD, Ohio—Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio thinks Hillary Clinton should keep pursuing the Democratic nomination even if she emerges from Tuesday’s voting with a victory only in his state.
