The bottom line on last night's Pennsylvania primary is, on the surface, what it has been for a while: Obama has the lead, but he has serious problems reaching Hillary's voters, and the voting results seem to support the notion that who wins and loses is determined less by events than by hardened demographic facts; Hillary has arguments about how she's a better general election candidate, but ...

The three remaining presidential candidates will all appear on Monday Night RAW tonight, and it makes me embarrassed to be an American on too many fronts to even count.  I didn't realize Barack and Hillary were that desperate to gain votes in the "undecided registered Pennsylvania Democrat/die-hard pro wrestling fan" demographic.  Hell, I didn't even realize pro ...

Anyone watching the Mets-Phillies game on ESPN last night probably noticed the avid political junkie who kept putting up a "HILLARY" sign every time a lefthanded hitter came to the plate. If you found that annoying, you clearly don't live in Pennsylvania; those guys have been pummeled with ads for weeks now.

I guess it’s not a big deal, it’s not like it’s their job to inform people about significant events during the campaign unless they involve flag pins or people the candidates know instead of lies they ...

Thanks to the time needed to evaluate a lengthy environmental impact report, the A's will likely have to postpone their relocation to 2012 . The new A's ballpark blog says this may be intermixed with local election timing: Those of you looking for a political angle may look at the study's availability after the November general election, when incumbent Bob Wasserman will face off against ...

52 minutes into the ABC Clinton-Obama debate. That's how long it took to get a real policy question. 52 minutes. The first hour almost was spent entirely on silly, trivial issues which have ZERO impact on people's daily lives. Bittergate, Rev. Wright, the Weather Underground, Bosnia, and flag pins. I swear, Sean Hannity was feeding ABC the questions. Every question, except the Bosnia one, was ...
