David Plouffe called me tonight, and said, “Guess what? Ralph Nader is going to run for President. Again.” Again? I thought Nader was dead. Honestly. Not politically dead. But dead dead. How can you run for President if you’re not even alive, politically? Anyway, David got the news from one of his sources at NBC … Read More »

February 22, 2008

White men love to shoot, though. McCain is publicly scolding me about public campaign funds. He’s on record for saying he’ll take public funding … Read More »
