Matthew Yglesias:
Obama and the Details  —  One anti-Obama meme that I notice has gotten a lot of support even among people sympathetic to his cause is the notion that he's somehow shallow or insufficiently well-versed in policy matters.  Obviously, I can't crawl into either candidate's brain and take a look around …

My Brother the Superdelegate and Why I Don't Trust Him to Pick the Next President  —  My brother Rahm Emanuel is a superdelegate.  I love my brother, and I trust my brother.  But I gave up letting my brother dictate my life since he determined whether he got the top or bottom bunk in our bedroom back in Chicago.

WHAT THE WASHINGTON GOP PRECINCT CAUCUS RESULTS MEAN  —  Nothing.  —  People from all over the media, from Josh Marshall to Tim Russert, and Mike Huckabee, are talking about the party declaring a winner, whether it was too soon, and so on.  But what the party said about the results literally means nothing at all.
