(by bitchphd, cross-posted from Bitch Ph.D.) Dateline: downtown Denver. NOTHING IS HAPPENING. There are a lot of cops standing around looking bored. There are a few people with press credentials and Really Big Cameras wandering around looking for something to take pictures of. There are occasional people with some kind of badge around their necks Read More

Yah boy “The G.D.” asked me to be a guest blogger person (if that’s the correct term, I dunno) for the 2008 Democratic Convention. Lemme tell you who I am and who I was: For the sake of this blog I am “Henry Burton”: ~I am from New York. I was a campaign director for Read More

(by Jamelle, crossposted at US of J) So, like I promised earlier, here are my thoughts on the Biden pick: Obama seems to be embracing Bush’s take on the vice presidency: a vice president’s ability to make decisions and govern effectively is more important than the political benefits a vice president may or may not Read More

Publius is geeked. Nick Beaudrot at Cogitamus gets his bottom-line on. Ann over at Feministing seems pretty ambivalent, and points to Biden’s middling record on women’s issues as head of the Judiciary Committee. Ezra Klein says the pick means Team Obama is spoiling for a fight, and Ta-Nehisi thinks that none of the G.O.P’s choices Read More

It’s Biden. CNN confirms. So does the NYT and WashPo. And the first place I should have looked, Obama’s website, says so as well. And with that, my babies, I’m going back to sleep. I can’t believe these fools sent this text out at 3 a.m. Update: Okay. Going back to sleep after this from Read More

It led in all the big dailies, but how on earth is the VP sweepstakes bigger news than this? BAGHDAD, Aug. 21 — U.S. and Iraqi negotiators have agreed to the withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from the country by the end of 2011, and Iraqi officials said they are “very close” to resolving Read More

Like Ta-Nehisi, I’m one of those people who doesn’t really think it matters how many homes John McCain may or may not own, but in case you were wondering, it’s seven. The Obama campaign is doing a decent job of hitting hard on a touchy issue quickly (unlike their lame and belated response to McCain’s Read More

The five-term congresswoman from Ohio suffered an aneurysm while driving last night, and the Plain Dealer is reporting that she died.

Rachel Maddow is kinda the shit. From an old interview: At first, I said no make-up, but then I saw myself on TV and it was like Nixon debating Kennedy. Now I say, Okay, do me up like you’d do a dude.” And they’re like “But you’re so pretty, why would you want to look Read More
