Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

I’m no fan of Chris Matthews, but the job he did tonight on a raving right-wing radio blabber was one for the books.
Matthews was almost too cruel and too relentless in humiliating Kevin James, who likes to spout off about historical analogies — specifically in attempts to denigrate Barack Obama — without knowing anything about the history to which he alludes.
And James did himself no favors by constantly shouting.
Watch it:

I’m sorry. It’s impossible for me to write about this matter without losing my composure. You can’t help but get misty-eyed about this.
I’d better leave it to Dan Froomkin to EXPLAIN.

THIS LIST from Robert Creamer is no silly Letterman-like exercise. It’s a concise and insightful look at a remarkable campaign.
POSTSCRIPT: The conventional wisdom is that Obama has experienced a lot of ups and downs over the past few months, but that’s not true in perhaps the most important sense.
As this chart from the Jed Report shows, in national polls, Obama closed a 21-percentage-point gap with Clinton during the winter, overtook her in February, and has remained ahead of her ever since.
He’s never had a month-to-month decline.
