Why Democrats Should Support McCain  —  So after eight years of waiting, my main man — Senator Johnny Mac — finally won a primary in the very state that, in 2000, helped set the course for the so-called Bush presidency.  —  Good for John.  Unfortunately, I fear the most challenging days …

Discussion: Gateway Pundit
Nicholas D. Kristof / New York Times:
Hillary, Barack, Experience  —  With all the sniping from the Clinton camp about whether Barack Obama has enough experience to make a strong president, consider another presidential candidate who was far more of a novice.  He had the gall to run for president even though he had served …

Yes, Obama Won Nevada  —  Imagine if, the day after the 2000 election, the national media simply didn't care about what happened in Florida, and instead acted as though Al Gore had won the election because he won the popular vote.  Imagine if all cries from the Bush campaign about something called …

Big Tent Democrat / TalkLeft:
How The Media Covers The Nomination Process; Or Did Romney Win The Day Yesterday?  —  Despite the ridiculous, pathetic and shameful attempt by the Obama campaign to spin the undemocratic and outrageous delegate selection system used in Nevada (and Iowa) as a “win,” the Media, to its credit, did not bite.

The Corner:
McCain Agonistes  —  Ever since I wrote a favorable column about John McCain, I have been swamped with furious e-mail from outraged conservatives, alleging this and that, and going through in systematic fashion the usual litany-McCain-Feingold, illegal immigration, tax cuts, global warming, etc.
Matt Stoller / Open Left:
Did Obama Lose Nevada Because of his Reagan Remarks?  —  I've discussed the ‘swing liberal’ block before, noting that this group moved from Obama to Clinton between Iowa and New Hampshire.  Unfortunately, we can't really fully understand this trend in Nevada because the entrance polls aren't great.
