The same might be said of the ascending front-runner Newt Gingrich. Conventional wisdom says he may indeed win the round of musical chairs that will determine the Romney alternative. Even Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight cautiously […]

After Iowa, the 2008 race was turned on its head, turning the establishment candidate into the scrappy underdog, and the young upstart into the favorite of both the elites and much of […]

For the past three years, the sharpest criticisms of Obama’s presidency have focused on his apparently overly optimistic commitment to bipartisan cooperation. The narrative of “Obama as chump” snowballed as he preemptively eliminating a public option from the health-care negotiations, and […]

On Tuesday, the voters of our most heart-stopping heart-shaped state will vote on repealing Ohio’s Senate Bill 5, a signature piece of Koch-funded public-union-busting legislation.  One standout […]

No surprise, therefore, that Clinton is so at ease in a recent video celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the Clinton Foundation. The video stars a hapless bunch of celebrity strategists for the Foundation, including Matt Damon, […]

I’m going to run for the United States Senate.” Elizabeth Warren’s Senate campaign announcement swept over RSS feeds like a hosanna from desperate progressives – redeem us, plainspoken one! She has no disappointed, for within several weeks of her announcement, a quote from one of Warren’s campaign events has made the […]

Some would say we waited too long to voice our support for the Egyptian protestors. Even more people would say our support for the Bahraini government during that country’s protest period transparently revealed the U.S.’s protection of our economic and […]

A horde of college students descended upon my parents’ home in Cleveland, for 48 hours of canvasses, rallies, and all-around “Yes We Can”-ing.  We had Shabbat dinner for 20, climbed over sleeping bags sprawled in every direction of our living room and basement, knocked on doors in the Kinsman projects as a […]
