There was history made yesterday in the Democratic Party, the first African American to claim a major party’s presidential nomination: Barack Obama — before a rapturous crowd in Minnesota — claiming the prize after an epic campaign.
And there was mystery in the Democratic Party: Hillary Clinton, watching the same last primary results come in from [...]

There are just two more states — one more day — in the Democrats’ marathon primary battle. South Dakota and Montana, tomorrow — and that’s it for primary voting.
But the last chapter may already have been written in Washington this weekend, when the Democrats’ Rules Committee sat down to vote on how to treat the [...]

In the New Deal era, the Democrats owned the white working class. In the Civil Rights era, they lost them. Not all, of course, but enough to give Republicans win after big win.
This year, with economic challenges front and center again, the math could change. But in West Virginia and North Carolina, in Kentucky and [...]

Barack Obama stepped out of the worst weeks of his campaign yesterday and turned in a big win in North Carolina.
Hillary Clinton took those same weeks, and a stretch of high Clinton camp spirits, and turned in a squeaker victory — a two-point win — in Indiana.
Everybody’s vowing to battle on, but the raw numbers [...]

It ain’t over — again. Hillary Clinton pulls out a win in Pennsylvania and sends Barack Obama and superdelegates a double-digit message: Don’t count me out.
And so, the battle for the Democratic nomination goes on, and on, and on, and on. In two weeks, primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
On paper, the math and money [...]

Tomorrow, Pennsylvanians go to the polls. For weeks Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been courting the Keystone state nonstop. The candidates have bowled, and traded bitter barbs on everything from patriotism, Iraq, small town America, and each other’s character.
We are all about Pennsylvania today, too — bringing Pennsylvanians to the microphone to tell us [...]

When Michigan and Florida Democrats broke the rules and moved up their primaries, they got spanked. Hard. The party poohbahs stripped them of all delegates — and their ticket to the big Democratic dance in Denver in August.
But that was before Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama got locked in a fierce [...]

At 8:30 last night, Barack Obama, in San Antonio, called John McCain, in Dallas, to congratulate the man who last night clinched the GOP nomination, to say he looked forward to running against him. And maybe Obama will.
But up in Columbus, Ohio, one Hillary Clinton was preparing a speech of her own. Before the night [...]

Twenty Democratic debates, and last night, the last debate before primaries next Tuesday that could decide the Democrats’ competition. Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama were gladiators once more in a test of ideas, and integrity, and attitude.
Clinton, fierce and focused, was a commanding presence fighting for the lead she has lost. Obama, cool [...]

And you thought the Clinton-Obama horse race was already hot — the candidates virtually tied for votes and delegates. Now the party is locked in a behind-the-scenes horse race for the votes of superdelegates.
Those are the 795 party elites — free agents — whose votes at the Democratic convention this summer will not necessarily be [...]

A week from tomorrow, coast to coast, and with everything on the line, the biggest day of presidential primary voting in American history will take place. On Super Tuesday, February 5th, nearly two dozen states are in play — and big ones.
The Democrats are thundering for the big day. Barack Obama is fresh off a [...]

Hey, stop the presses. New Hampshire has written its own headline. Upset! Comeback! It’s Clinton over Obama — never mind Iowa and the polls and the magic. It’s McCain over Romney — never mind, again, the money of the man who was governor right next door.
Hillary Clinton never quit and nearly cried and pulled it [...]

New Hampshire was supposed to be a firewall for the Hillary Clinton campaign — the primary stronghold where she would anchor her drive for the White House. Instead, it’s primary day and New Hampshire is a major challenge.
The other kid from Chicago, Barack Obama, has a solid lead in opinion polls. John Edwards is nipping [...]

In 2004, John Edwards was the optimist with the winning smile. Today, the former Senator from North Carolina still flashes that smile, but his combative talk on poverty and big business has remade his image as the Democrats’ fiery economic populist.
The message may be working: Running a close third in Iowa, where Edwards has staked [...]
