Two names continue to be the hottest among the Veep contenders on the Obama campaign’s list: John Edwards and Sam Nunn.
Both are former Senators with various invaluable experience they could bring to the Dem nominee - Edwards politically, Nunn in general gravitas and governmental wisdom. Both are also Caucasian men from Southern states who manage […]

The Obama campaign has made a conscious effort to retool their public strategy for reaching voters at events and on the trail after the long primary fight with Hillary, ditching the “energizing” mega-rallies with tens of thousands of rabid supporters in favor of more intimate meetings with a handful of people who aren’t necessarily die-hard […]

And we’re not just talking about that silly brouhaha about whether or not Edwards aid he voted for “him” on his Morning Joe and Today Show appearances today.

Back from a long weekend…
The rapidly disintegrating Hillary campaign (or so the big papers tell us) is in the midst of full-on damage control mode, rushing the candidate to several feisty trail events over the weekend (”Shame on you,” Obama…) and advisers telling reporters - including PB - in a Saturday conference call that the […]

Ex-candidate John Edwards is being pressed to the max by both Hillary and Obama for an endorsement as the race tightens and each contender looks for that little extra edge that JRE support would give. A scattering of delegates, sure; but it’s his rank-and-file voters and superdelegates that are what count even as much as […]

Not kidding here. Looks like the dude who is “terrible” with paperwork lost the memo that Edwards has dropped out of the race and is now a coveted potential ally. Something went wrong for him to make the quip seen in the video below. Worse yet, it took place at the mammoth Obama rally today […]

Sign that Obama is getting closer to being seen as the mainstream Dem favorite: His campaign raised a record $32 million just in the month of January.

Faltering Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards announced the “suspension” (polispeak for “I’m getting the heck out”) of his ‘08 campaign in an emotional and very sad press conference outside of a rebuilding project in New Orleans.
