Video here. A timeline of his support here. Melissa McEwan says goodbye:
Probably the only people who do care at this point are Chris Matthews and the rest of the morons in the Boys’ Club, who will no longer be able to leer over his wife like the disrespectful, perv-brained douchehounds they are.
Lovely.
The data are clear: trust and honesty are the Clintons’ liabilities, as they should be.
Greg Sargent thinks so. I think the spin war itself is a distraction from Obama’s core message – of unifying change – and distracting from that is central to the Clintons’ strategy. It seems to me that Obama needs to focus back on the case for his own candidacy, in particular, providing explicit concrete policy detail in his public presentation. The Clintons are running as prosaic general managers. Obama should not downplay his transformational potential or his broader themes. But in the battle for base voters, many people are not hearing specifics – on the economy, on healthcare, on taxes, on climate change. He has them. He needs to repeat them. With the same mind-numbing repetitiveness that the Clintons always deploy.

Is there any way you can put a moratorium on the adjectives "brown" and "black?" As a first-generation American (and a Latino of Cuban/Spanish parentage), I find it a little annoying when I am described in columns and news reports (not just yours, I might add) as a "brown" voter.
Latinos are not all "brown." You have to admit–it’s a little reductionist, no? Honestly–I’m probably paler than you. A silly quibble, maybe, but it’s something that really bugs. I didn’t appreciate Hillary making reference to "brown/black" during the debate (Obama uses the terms AA and Latino, I believe). I find it patronizing.
This is most definitely not your average singles ad.

Jennifer Maestre’s biomorphic pencil sculptures are oddly alluring. More fun with writing implements here.
The debate probably helped. Could the Clintons come in third? You never know.
