Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been fighting for the Democratic nomination for months now, but the primary results keep breaking down along the same demographic lines . Currently, Obama and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton are neck-and-neck in Indiana, a (perhaps the ) basketball-crazed state full of the same sort of white, working-class voters that proved so difficult for Obama ...

So you may have heard there's this whole presidential-campaign thing going on. Yesterday was the Indiana primary, and -- what are the odds? -- Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton just happened to be in Indianapolis . She stopped by Indianapolis Motor Speedway and visited with driver Sarah Fisher. Fisher's team presented Clinton with a racing helmet, and members of the media horde ...Barack Tries to Pander like Hillary

Most anyone watching the primaries had expected all along that Obama would win North Carolina - where the Democratic primary electorate is dominated by African-Americans and college towns - and Hillary would win the more conservative white Democrats in Indiana last night, but Hillary's relatively narrow margin of victory in Indiana and the simple fact that Obama notched a victory in a state ...If The Candidate Were A Coach...

Barack Obama and John McCain are set to face off for the presidency this fall. The question for each of them at this time is, "Who will be your running mate?" I have a guess whose name we will start hearing soon for McCain. Hillary Clinton. The way Hillary has run her campaign recently, she's come off more like a Republican than a Democrat. Her disgusting pandering on the gas tax, her 3 AM ...OH SNAP: Clinton pauses to think before deciding whether to further destroy the Democratic Party!

Senator Hillary Clinton has canceled her Wednesday schedule . Does she just need a day off, or is she seriously considering conceding? Its sad at this point that we can’t reasonably tell the difference. There’s absolutely no need to restate these facts, but again for the record: 1. She can’t catch up with Obama (she hasn’t been able to for a while). 2. The only ...A Sports Guide to Politics for Barack Obama

Since Hillary Clinton continues to refuse to concede defeat to Barack Obama, I thought I might suggest a new approach for the junior senator from Illinois. He needs to treat the campaign like a sporting event. 1) If Michigan and Florida counted, it'd be a tie - The sports parallel here is obvious. Hillary obviously feels like the referees jobbed her by tossing out her "wins". Obama needs ...Don't you hate it when that happens?

You may have heard that Barack Obama took down North Carolina. It was supposed to be a game-changer for Hillary. And yet? Mr. Obama won by fourteen. And all night in Indiana, Obama’s been chipping away. 18’s become 16. 14’s become 12. He’s been hanging around, as Teddy KGB would say. The Kid’s got alligator blood. But why pay attention?

It looks like Hillary and Barak may end up splitting Indiana and North Carolina . Kinda’ the way they’ve been splitting the Democratic votes for months. But why must it be only one? Now, I’ve been on board with Mr. Obama from the beginning, but I think it may be time to start thinking about how we unite this party. Divided we fall, and all that. So, would we consider the “super ticket”? ...Pander's Box
