Is Bill Clinton About To Sandbag Hillary Clinton's Campaign?  —  It is often been said that former President Bill Clinton is Senator Hillary Clinton's closest, best and most astute political advisor.  If that's the case and a recent statement he reportedly made is any indication, she should consider firing him and getting a new one.

Hillary Booed at NH Democratic Party Dinner  —  If the New Hampshire Democratic Party's 100 Club dinner is any bell weather - Barack Obama will handily win here.  When Obama, the dinner's last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting “O-bam-a” and “Fired Up, Ready to Go!”

Stop Lying About Huckabee and Evangelicals!  —  Predictably enough, most media commentators have totally misinterpreted the nature of Mike Huckabee's big win in the Iowa GOP caucuses.  Conventional wisdom says that he swept to victory based on overwhelming support from Evangelicals, but conventional wisdom is flat-out wrong.

Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
The African-American Awakening  —  There's a great piece in the NYT today on it.  It's what Obama himself predicted privately and publicly in the fall: that his mixed showing among black voters was a function of their disbelief that white voters would ever back a black man for president.
