After all of the time, money and energy Republicans put into attacking Hillary Clinton over Benghazi, it turns out America loves her best.
After all of the time, money and energy Republicans put into attacking Hillary Clinton over Benghazi, it turns out America loves her best.
The Republican plan to preemptively destroy a 2016 Hillary Clinton is another fail. Clinton returned fire by noting that ' some people refused to accept the facts'.
The fact that President Obama sat down for a joint interview with Hillary Clinton was a not very subtle endorsement of his first term secretary of state's potential 2016 presidential run.
Hillary Clinton's performance at the Benghazi hearing has been so strong that it has triggered a right wing meltdown and claims by Hannity and Limbaugh that the hearing is staged.
Senate Republicans found themselves absolutely dominated by Sec. of State Hillary Clinton at today's Benghazi hearing. Sec. Clinton didn't just testify. She owned the room.
A House Foreign Affairs hearing went wild today, resulting in Rep. Gary Ackerman calling the GOP out on their hypocrisy and cutting funding to the embassy security.
It was two days ago that the nation elected Barack Obama to a second term, but PPP is out with their first Democratic poll of 2016, and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is leading VP Biden, 58%-17%.
Even in an election year Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton remain wildly popular. New surveys have found both Sec. Clinton and the First Lady enjoy 66% approval ratings.
The pre-2012 presidential rumblings continue to come from the direction of reality television star Sarah Palin, as last night in Bucks County, PA when asked about running for president, Palin stole a line from Hillary Clinton and said, "I would be in it to win it." Sarah Palin has moved on from being the reincarnated Ronald Reagan to now pretending to be Hillary Clinton.
In Pittsburgh, PA yesterday Vice President Joe Biden put to bed once and for all the rumor started by Bob Woodward that he and Hillary Clinton are going to switch jobs in 2012. Biden said the President asked him if he was going run again, he said, "'Of course, you want me to run with you, I'm happy to run with you.' "
Republicans and Fox News have been fantasizing about the prospects of Sec. of State Hillary Clinton challenging President Barack Obama for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination, but a poll released by Gallup today should shatter that fantasy as an Obama versus Clinton rematch heavily favors Obama, 52%-37%.
In the biggest sign yet that Republicans have very little confidence in their own ability to defeat Barack Obama in 2012, Fox News has started a not so subtle draft Hillary campaign. Tonight on The O'Reilly Factor guest host Monica Crowley declared, "She is totally running," without a single fact to back up her claim.
One of the most interesting little tidbits in the latest CNN/Opinion Dynamics poll is that Barack Obama is not the most popular politician in the United States currently. Make no mistake, Obama is still popular with a 57% favorable rating, and he is still much more popular than any Republican in the country, but it is Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, not Obama, who has the highest favorability rating in the poll at 61%.
How did we get to the point of near economic collapse? There is no simple answer to the question. It can't be broken down into a short sound bite that can be repeated by politicians or pundits on the air. As there is no simple answer, let's first take a look at the housing market, as we have heard a lot about why this is an important part of the financial crisis.
.Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich published a letter to RNC Chairman Mike Duncan on his website that denounced a recent video by the RNC which attempts to link president elect Obama to the soon to be impeached Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Gingrich said Republicans need to focus on solutions, not negative attacks.
Here is the RNC video titled Questions Remain:
Well, we are done with the final debate between the candidates and going down the home stretch towards Election Day. And it looks to me like McCain and his campaign are making every possible dumb move that can be made, and no Rovian tactic can help them. In fact, it is the Rove-like maneuvers that are hurting McCain/Palin in the eyes of the American people.
Well, two presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate down, one more presidential debate to go. It has been a busy past week in politics for me here in good ol' St. Louis, MO. Last Thursday, we were the site of the highly-watched and scrutinized Biden-Palin debate. It was held right down the street from my house at Washington University. There is no need to go over the specifics of the debate now as it has been dissected over and over the past few days.
The events of the past couple of weeks have helped Obama to take a narrow lead in the latest polls and we can suspect that in upcoming polls that his lead will grow larger. Americans are a bit freaked out by what they see on the nightly news or what they are reading in the daily paper.
It is that time again to take a look at how the presidential race is shaping up in the Show Me State. As we all know, this is a very close, important and historical election. Missouri is a key state in this election, as it is the epitome of a swing state.
Welcome to a new column here at Polticususa.com. For the next couple of months, until the election in November, I will be posting a news report at least once a week detailing how the election is playing out in the state of Missouri, a key swing state.
