Snowpocalypse: This Column Has a Snow Day
By David CornSnowpocalypse was fun -- that is, until our power went out and the heat vanished. That was two days ago. So I've been contending with the basics of survival: food and shelter. In between all that, I've been shoveling tons of snow. Our neighborhood was placed low on the priority list for Pepco, the ...
Why Question Time Is Right for Obama, House GOPers and Washington
By David Corn
At Wednesday's White House daily briefing, I asked deputy press secretary Bill Burton if the Obama administration would say yes to the cross-partisan coalition of bloggers, commentators, politicos and techies calling on the president and GOP congressional leaders to commit to regular, frequent and ...
Bloggers Launch Campaign for More Obama-GOP Question Time
By David CornLast Friday afternoon, President Obama and House Republicans made history. At the GOPers' issues retreat in Baltimore, the president fielded sharp questions from the Republican legislators on critical issues: health care reform, taxes, the budget, the stimulus, energy, government transparency, ...
Can Palin Save McCain's Political Life? Should She?
By David Corn

Obama's State of the Union: Reset, Please
By David Corn
After the State of the Union address -- even one in which the president decried pundits -- it's always time for insta-analysis. In case you haven't gotten your fill, here's my take, first posted at MotherJones.com. Already, folks in the Twittersphere have accused me of being too harsh. Feel free to ...
Obama's Two Populisms: A Muddy Message?
By David Corn
There are essentially two types of populism. One slams Big Bidness; the other, Big Guv'mint. These two attacks can be merged, especially when government officials and corporate bigwigs are in cahoots. But often, liberal populists blast away at corporate evildoers (such as Wall Streeters) who screw ...
Test Fight for Obama's New Populism: Consumer Financial Protections
By David CornSo President Obama wants to be a populist fighter? In the past two weeks, he's proposed slapping the big banks with a bailout tax and implementing restrictions on financial institutions' casino-like activities. He'll probably have to fight like hell to make all this happen, for Big Finance and its ...
Obama's Bipartisan Cred Isn't the Issue
By David CornThe White House briefing room is ground zero for a politerati fetish: bipartisanship. Sometimes it seems reporters at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. are obsessed with bipartisanship -- particularly whether President Obama is acting in a bipartisan manner. The day after Republican Scott Brown's upset win in ...
Brown's Win: Rise of the Tea Partiers, or Alienation of the Indie Voters?
By David Corn
On Tuesday night, just as votes were starting to be counted in Massachusetts, I was at a reception in Washington, and several labor officials were downcast, expecting the worst in the Senate race. One told me that she had been at a Democratic phone bank the other night, called a Democrat in ...
Obama's Year One: Changing Washington Is Tough
By David CornMight it be considered Shakespearean that President Obama could wake up on Wednesday morning, the one-year anniversary of his historic inauguration, and face a political world undone by his party's loss of Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts? The almost cosmic conjunction of Obama's ...
