Will the Obama Lead Last?

James Joyner:

Between RealClearPolitics and Memeorandum, there must be a dozen articles this morning wondering if Barack Obama’s nomination is now a foregone conclusion, how Hillary Clinton managed to blow what seemed a sure thing, and how long Obama

An amusing article at Captain’s Quarters, today….

Susan Estrich either wants to build credibility as a satirist, or her latest column provides a long-overdue look in the mirror for Democrats. Detecting more a whiff of the so-called Bradley Effect

Jerome Corsi at WND:

As Sen. John McCain assumes the GOP front-runner mantle, his long-standing, but little-noticed association with left-wing donors such as George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry is receiving new attention among his Republican critics.

In 2001, McCain

Fox News Channel’s Jamie Colby has a new report up talking about the big showdown in Berkeley, CA tonight – TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH – when patriots from around the nation will hold an all-day pro-troop demonstration and protest against the

Yes, Civil war in both parties seems likely to me.

The usual suspects are already complaining about civil war happening in the Democratic Party…. Frank Rich, at the New York Times, for example, perhaps without intending to, marks the

Henke, this monring:

In light of the possibility that a Democrat could win the Presidency in November, giving them control of the White House and both houses of Congress, it’s worth pointing out what Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said

John McCain said at the GOP debate two days ago: “I’ll rely on people to judge me by the company that I keep.”

I note with interest that Jonathan Martin has put up a post at Politico making note of the fact that the global warming business has all but disappeared from John McCain’s speechmaking. Apparently McCain has finally figured out it’s not

Maybe it is something in the Arkansas water?   Mike Huckabee wants a free pass on the examination of his liberal record.  If you criticize the Huckster’s record, he calls it dirty politics.  Now the other dope from Hope, B.J. Clinton

Victor Davis Hanson at The Corner earlier today:

It seems that Romney, Thompson, and Huckabee supporters might at least consider that there is a chance that McCain will be nominated and these “I’ll sit it out” conservatives should begin thinking

Jon Adler at The Corner, earlier today:

Last week Michael Gerson wrote a remarkably unserious column in which he suggested Fred Thompson lacked “moral seriousness” because he failed to embrace President Bush’s global AIDS initiative with sufficient vigor.  Looking

Byran, Hot Air, states the obvious:

Two primary wins, two seconds. No one else has been as broadly competitive so far. He has the most delegates and the most money in the bank, and he’s back to campaigning in

I strongly disagree with the Fox All-Star panel.  “They all” did not do well tonight.  Huckabee demonstrated why he should not be the GOP nominee.  He lost.  He did badly.  He was rambling at times.  He was dissembling at times. 

  Jonathan Martin at the politico is reporting that Tom Tancredo is about ready to call it quits. Which, as it happens is approximately as important as announcing that the 17th St kazoo band is going to be playing in East

The Wall Street Journal:

Hillary Clinton’s commanding lead in the polls has diminished, and with Oprah Winfrey stumping for Barack Obama, she’s called increasingly on the “star power” of husband Bill. But the ubiquitous presence of the former president
