Obama at Ebenezer: Two calls for unity  —  Both Obama and Clinton are making high-profile appeals for the black vote today, Obama at Ebenezer in Atlanta trying to consolidate his high levels of support, Clinton at Abyssinian in New York trying to defend her strongest redoubts — among older poeple …

SOME CLARITY ON THOSE NV DELEGATES  —  From NBC's Mark Murray  —  After the Obama campaign pointed out it had won more pledged delegates than Clinton did — which the AP and NBC News later backed up — the Nevada Democratic Party issued this statement: “Just like in Iowa what was awarded today were delegates to the County Convention.

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 …

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.

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.

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 …

BY MAUREEN DOWD, DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE  —  One of the highlights of my trip to Israel this past August was the helicopter tour that took us from Herzliya down the separation fence and over to Sderot.  My guide on the helicopter was Calev Ben-David, who is in the middle of our group in the photograph accompanying “A view from the fence.”
