The Fight against Poverty Was a Lie, Too |

Shortly before John Edwards confessed that he risked all the Democrats’ hopes for a Democratic president next year, he shut down his anti-poverty program.
The Brilliance of the Edwards Endorsement |

By getting Edwards’ endorsement when and in the manner in which he got it, Obama undercuts much of the leverage Hillary has to bargain for concessions from Obama.
Clusterfuck Eve |

I can tell you, it’ll sure be hard to sleep tonight as I ponder the possibilities of tomorrow’s MI Clusterfuck Primary. Polls show that Romney might just pull this out–and surprisingly, at least one of those polls says he’ll do so with Republican support. Me, I’m just looking forward to Wednesday, when Joe Lieberman and John McCain will stop spamming me with robocalls and junk mail.

Maybe MI isn’t as much of a clusterfuck as I thought. If nothing else, Huckabee looks poised to knock Mitt from the race, which will turn the GOP nomination into a contest between McCain and Huckabee. Which might make it very interesting indeed.

Many of you no doubt disagree. But I’m not crying about an Obama victory (then again, I wouldn’t have been crying about an Edwards or Clinton win, either).
But here are the two details that I think are most important.
Crazy, record turnout–reportedly well over 200,000. And reportedly, perhaps two-to-one for Dems, compared to the Republicans.
Crazy, record turnout among youth.
Executive Privilege |

A number of people have pointed to Charlie Savage’s great article on the responses of Presidential candidates to a bunch of questions about executive power. Most of the questions either explicitly or implicitly ask candidates whether they repudiate certain of Bush’s acts, so I’m not sure they help Democratic voters distinguish between primary candidates. The exception is the question on Executive Privilege.
