Conservatives claim that Obama manipulated his Kenyan roots to gain attentionWhatever you think of Breitbart.com's punishing vetting process, it has exposed just how little work the mainstream media did in investigating candidate Obama back in 2008. Not all of Team Breitbart's revelations have been election-deciders, but they have often been stuff that a simple Google would have uncovered. If they...

Obama Must Shift to the Center, Or He Will Lose
Alex Castellanos, CNN
Conventional wisdom has it that President Barack Obama's campaign four years ago was a political masterpiece. Yes, the Republican brand was in the toilet; the economy had cratered; his real opponent, George Bush, was a political pariah; and the country despaired for a new direction. Still, we recall the Obama campaign as a crushing force, brilliantly harnessed, riding the tide of history.

The PAC will focus its efforts on “entirely on questions of fiscal policy, not attacks that seek to divide us socially...

Wright & Race-Baiting: The GOP Goes There
Charles Pierce, Esquire
If there is a more tiresome phrase in the modern political lexicon than the one that cautions people "not to go there," I know not what it is. I have been watching the rise of movement conservatism, and the resultant radicalization of the Republican party, for going on 30 years now, all the way back to the NCPAC campaigns run against people like George McGovern and Frank Church by that nasty closet-case Terry Dolan, and my experience tells me that they will always "go there" and, by degrees, they will take us all "there" with them, and, gradually, what seemed...

Craig Gilbert, Milwaukee JS
President Barack Obama’s double-digit lead in Wisconsin this spring has all but disappeared, according to the latest polling, making Wisconsin look more like the fierce battleground it was in 2000 and 2004 than the blowout blue state it was in 2008. Obama and Mitt Romney were tied at 46% among likely voters in the Marquette Law School poll released Wednesday.
