Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.

It's imperative that Obama run a tight ship, and if need be, make an example out of someone early.
Bob Cesca, 11.19.2008
I submit to you, Sen. Lieberman, that you were punished yesterday more than you realize. Stick with me on this. I'll explain: it never fully occurred to me how Obama would use his strengths in a position of leadership. Until this week.

While today is not officially Turkey Day, I will warn you in advance that it's going to be a theme running through today's column, like gravy through ...

When the turkey and the cranberry fool are gone it will not serve us to be left as political fools. Skeptics of the world unite -- we have nothing to lose but our illusions.

Now that Hagee's political allies have listened to the preacher's sermon identifying the Antichrist as a homosexual Jew, how can they still share a stage with him?

Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.

If you thought the Republican primary field was a bit of a joke, wait until you get a closer look at the front runners for the vice presidential slot.

Obama only won by six points in the popular vote, they say. Shouldn't it have been much bigger? Sure he won, but it's not like Obama got a rousing endorsement.

The honeymoon was over before it started. Sorry.

Now that the Obama era is underway, consider this the first illustration (and casualty) of the new art of war.

Predict the final outcome of the electoral vote, the popular vote, and the party breakdown of the new Senate and House. The winner gets an iPod already loaded with the top songs of the '08 race.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild must be one of the worst sports that has stepped onto the political stage in a very long time. When Hillary Clinton ...
Mark Nickolas, 11.14.2008
Sen. Clinton is obviously qualified and I think America would love to see a new government that wasn't simply made-up of cronies but of people with differing viewpoints who come together for the good of the country.
Mitchell Bard, 10.28.2008
As a lifelong Democrat who has seen my party lose winnable races, I can't help thinking about how things can go wrong this year. These are the four factors that keep me up at night.
Lee Stranahan, 11.18.2008
Speaking for my tiny little chunk of the liberal blogosphere, I don't like Joe Lieberman. I was disgusted by Hillary's campaign. And I couldn't be happier with Obama's decisions.

Let me just add that the neo-cons started the revision of history in 2001. In fact, revisionism is really the only thing they are good at.
When Bush invaded Iraq, I screamed to everyone who would listen, and to many who wouldn't, that the inspectors were being given free rein in Iraq and they should be left there to do their job. Bush now says as part of justification for invading that Saddam wouldn't let the inspectors in. Charlie Gibson, shame on you!
Karl Rove is now saying the same thing: "We Wouldn't Have Invaded Iraq If We Knew The Truth About WMDs" (Nov 13, 2008)
It's almost as if they have forgotten that there are hours of video tape that show exactly what they were doing up to the run up to the war. The facts will not change no matter how they may try to spin it. The failures of this president covers all aspects of his administration and has brought the United States and the rest of the world to the brink of ecconomic and ecological disaster and created terrible damage to the United States reputation and moral standing. Bush will be viewed as Nero playing his ideological violin while the country burns. If his administration is viewed by his interview with Charlie Gibson he will be seen as utterly incompetent to perform the job he was elected for.
