This video, put together by Slate, features two adorable fluffy kittens running on a treadmill, set to voiceovers from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It’s much better than watching the real thing.

Campaign letters are always at least a little comic — the faux-personal tone, the formal-informal style, the beggarliness. There are also the “artful” decisions made by the authors that are fun to explore for hidden meanings.
A recent Hillary dispatch to her supporters is a gem. Her campaign is over, the thrill of future campaign-related possibilities [...]

Read The Hillary ask: whatever you do, don’t say “Obama”! »

Sen. Hillary Clinton “makes Rocky look like a pansy,” according to the North Carolina governor. She has “testicular fortitude,” in the words of one labor leader. In contrast, she’s behind shirts with pantsuits on them.
Say what?
Feminism isn’t the same now in the wake of the Clintons. And the Hillary Clinton campaign is partly responsible for [...]

“It’s Barack Obama’s party now.”
So led the AP yesterday.  It’s been a challenge to sort through this mess.  Everyone tip-toeing around the slim prospect of Hillary somehow, someway stealing what Obama wrapped up mathematically at least a month ago.  Even though he has been reluctant to say anything definitive, his actions have spoken louder than [...]

Oooh, this week has been a fun one, hasn’t it?
Hillary stuck her foot in her mouth with a comment that seemed to imply she would stay in the race just in case someone offed Obama the same way they did RFK.  Contextually, she spoke about her husband securing the nomination in June, and then [...]

Obama addresses a crowd of West Virginians on veteran care - posted by the Obama campaign

With the two biggest remaining slices of that scrumptious delegate pie now served up at the rabid counter-top of this bizarre Democratic primary, a slight cool breeze can be felt, offering some relief from the oppressively stale air of a [...]

It’s hard to believe Sen. Hillary Clinton was ever honored to share a stage with her rival Sen. Barack Obama after seeing her latest last minute ad slamming Obama’s criticism of the much-ballyhooed gas-tax holiday.
But first—a word of praise. We’re actually talking about an issue. Gas taxes have never been so refreshing!
We’re talking about an [...]

Last week saw the continued brow-beating of the American people with Jeremiah Wright overkill. The first 16 minutes of Meet the Press were devoted to it. CNN, FoxNews, and the whole lot continue to replay the YouTube clips. I’ve even seen some ridiculous implications in the more whacked-out portions of [...]

Against the cold, scientific glow of an unlikely, biology-inspired observation, I wonder, is this what we have been reduced to?
A New York Times/CBS News poll conducted from Friday to Tuesday- right in the thick of the latest Jeremiah Wright flap- indicates that only 51% of Democrats believe Obama will win his party’s nomination, down from [...]

Sen. Barack Obama’s 10-point loss in Pennsylvania turned the universe upside down in a few hours. Suddenly, he was no longer his party’s front-runner. Suddenly, he was facing questions about his candidacy in the general election. Suddenly, and rather remarkably Internet pop-up windows, of all things, shifted from “should Hillary quit” surveys to, “can Hillary [...]
