Joan Walsh - Election 2008

  • Three-judge panel: Franken wins Minnesota Senate seat

    Coleman lawyer Ben Ginsberg plans appeal, but the end is near.
  • Reasons to think twice about seating Roland Burris

    Democrats should be the party of integrity in the wake of crippling corruption scandals for Republicans -- and racial politics can backfire.
  • How far should Obama go for GOP support?

    Obama shouldn't sacrifice his stimulus plan's power trying for lots of GOP votes. Plus: Why Panetta is a great CIA choice.
  • Digby: Carolyn Maloney for N.Y.'s Senate seat

    If David Paterson wants to appoint a strong feminist, why not pick Caroline Kennedy's congresswoman? Plus: Race can't redeem Blagojevich's Senate choice.
  • More thoughts about Caroline Kennedy

    She may well make a fine senator, but why she is making her celebrity her main credential for the job?
  • Is Caroline Kennedy pro-choice?

    With questions about her stand on abortion rights and other key issues, it's time for her to talk, not merely listen, if she wants a Senate seat.
  • Disappointed by Rick Warren

    The divisive, self-aggrandizing right-wing evangelist was a terrible choice to give Obama's invocation.
  • Obama's handling the Blago mess just fine

    He looked like the happiest man in history ever to be called a "m-----f-----" at his Thursday press conference, but expect dumb questions to continue.
  • Let Obama be Obama

    It's too early for Democrats to panic and demand the president-elect do more on the economy. Plus: Go away, little Jeb.
  • Team America

    Barack Obama's national security team is impressive in its diversity and in its excellence. Plus: I debate Christopher Hitchens over Hillary Clinton.
  • I'm grateful for Barack Obama

    My sappy Thanksgiving post got more serious as I watched the Mumbai tragedy unfold.
  • Who's afraid of Obama's overreaching?

    The president-elect shouldn't squander his mandate reassuring conservatives about his economic plan. The real danger is in underreaching.
  • Ari Fleischer's big failure

    The Bush flack's much-hyped Freedom's Watch is going belly up.
  • Trust Obama on Clinton

    If he picks her as secretary of state, she's the right choice.
  • Buchanan: The Kos crowd deserves a Cabinet pick

    Why does a conservative seem to respect the Democratic left more than many Democrats? Plus: Pick Hillary, or don't, but get it over with!
  • How do you solve a problem like Joe Lieberman?

    A great debate between Rachel Maddow and Evan Bayh lays out the stakes, for both sides.
  • Palinpalooza!

    She's smacking back at her critics in a string of interviews, but I can't see how she's changing any minds.
  • More good news from Election '08

    Race was a "net plus" for Barack Obama. And a last look at Hillary Clinton, unlikely working class hero.
  • Obama: Socialist or Reaganite?

    Before the election, Brent Bozell ranted against Obama as a raving Marxist. Now he's claiming he ran as a Reagan conservative.
  • Will Barack Obama have a honeymoon?

    His mandate is bigger than any Democrat's since Lyndon Johnson, bigger than first-term Ronald Reagan's. But he won't get breathing room unless we demand it.
  • Condi Rice on Obama

    I couldn't help enjoying Rice's genuine excitement about Barack Obama's victory.
  • "Sour loser"

    NRO blasts "Wonder Boy" and his "shakedown-artist wife."
