Will gay marriage doom the Democrats?: I don't think so, but either way, there's no turning back on full equality for everyone.; Joan Walsh May 16, 2008
Mississippi turning: The most interesting election Tuesday night wasn't in West Virginia.; Joan Walsh May 14, 2008
Some thoughts about West Virginia: An Obama supporter lashes out at political allies who've scorned Clinton's white working-class backers. It's worth reading.; Joan Walsh May 13, 2008
McCain campaign baits Obama on Clinton slurs: It's hard to believe the faux outrage at sexism after McCain chuckled at the B-word, but Obama has to discourage Kennedy-style disrespect for Clinton as the battle winds down.; Joan Walsh May 12, 2008
What should Hillary Clinton do now?: If she stays in the race she should focus on her strengths, not Obama's flaws.; Joan Walsh May 10, 2008
Can Democrats learn to talk about race?: Hillary Clinton's "hardworking Americans" comment seemed to exclude blacks. Donna Brazile's "new" Democratic vision marginalized working-class whites and Latinos. How does the party unite?; Joan Walsh May 9, 2008
The Brazile-Begala smackdown: Is Obama's coalition just "eggheads and African-Americans"? Is Clinton's emphasis on "Joe and Jane Sixpack" excluding black blue-collar Democrats? A frank exchange of views on CNN.; Joan Walsh May 7, 2008
Obama gracious in N.C. victory: He gives Clinton a win in Indiana that the networks hadn't called yet, and promises the party will come together in November.; Joan Walsh May 7, 2008
Michael Wolff on sex and the Dems: Hillary and her backers are "post-sexual." Obama has a hot wife who'll "whip his ass." "Middle-aged white men" face "revulsion." Who's on top in 2008? Nobody.; Joan Walsh May 6, 2008
Hillary Clinton's big, brass ... fortitude: She battled Bill O'Reilly (and won) while hammering away on her gas-tax holiday plan, critics be damned.; Joan Walsh May 3, 2008
George Bush is John McCain's Rev. Wright: A new poll finds the president is a bigger albatross for the GOP nominee than Obama's former pastor is for Obama.; Joan Walsh May 1, 2008
Obama "outraged" by Wright: What his pastor said Monday "directly contradicts everything I've done in my life."; Joan Walsh Apr 29, 2008
I was wrong about Wright: He is, in fact, a stunning narcissist, and it's clear he's sabotaging Barack Obama.; Joan Walsh Apr 28, 2008
Why Jeremiah Wright is so wrong: I applaud Bill Moyers for being fair to Obama's pastor, but their PBS hour won't chase questions about his grim view of America. Plus: More Wright tapes emerge.; Joan Walsh Apr 27, 2008
John McCain's "I care about poverty" tour: While the GOP nominee was expressing sorrow over Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, his friend John Hagee said the tragedy was God's punishment.; Joan Walsh Apr 27, 2008
Keith Olbermann apologizes for his Clinton remark: "It is a metaphor. I apologize." Thanks, Keith -- and thanks to everyone who made it an issue.; Joan Walsh Apr 25, 2008
Looking past Pennsylvania: Obama needs to come down from his front-runner's pedestal and fight for working-class voters. Plus: Did Keith Olbermann really say that?; Joan Walsh Apr 24, 2008
What Pennsylvania tells us: Obama's still struggling with white working-class voters. There's still time for him to deal with it -- but Clinton just bought herself some time, too.; Joan Walsh Apr 23, 2008
Obama rules the Pennsylvania airwaves: The Clinton camp complains he spent more on media in Pennsylvania than on all 20 Super Tuesday states. But will carping about Obama's fundraising prowess really make Clinton seem more electable? Stay tuned.; Joan Walsh Apr 22, 2008
Will Obama's debate stumble hurt him?: As the front-runner he shouldn't seem so peevish about tough questions. But Clinton missed a chance to recover from her Bosnia debacle.; Joan Walsh Apr 18, 2008
Don't blame San Francisco for Obama's "Bittergate": Candidates pander to wealthy donors in every city, not just mine!; Joan Walsh Apr 16, 2008
John McCain's bad week: President Bush's halt to troop reductions and commitment to an endless Iraq war will haunt the GOP come November -- but Bill Clinton's lame Bosnia gaffe is already dogging his wife.; Joan Walsh Apr 14, 2008
Obama and the white working class: The candidate's Pennsylvania remarks, and his passionate defense of them, are more convincing than the debate about them would have you believe.; Joan Walsh Apr 11, 2008
My last word (for now) on sexism: I'm a sucker for thinking evidence will change people's minds. So watch this video, and tell me sexism hasn't hurt Hillary Clinton in this campaign.; Joan Walsh Apr 9, 2008
Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!: The right-wing radio host quoted my CNN comments about the sexism Hillary Clinton faces, and I am very grateful.; Joan Walsh Apr 8, 2008
