From a Lefty: Five Things the Right Is Doing Right

By Donna Trussell - Politics Daily

For nearly two years, the Democrats have controlled the House, the Senate, the presidency and two new judicial appointments to the Supreme Court. So why does it feel like the Democrats lost in 2008?

Obama Aide Bites Left, Left Bites Back

By Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily

Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Steve Hildebrand published a kind of open letter to Barack Obama's "progressive critics" today in Huffpo that has drawn immediate criticism. Here's Hildebrand: The point I'm making here is that our new president, the Congress and all Americans must come together to solve these problems. This is not a time for the left wing of our Party to draw conclusions about the Cabinet and White House appointments that President-Elect Obama is making. Some believe the appointments generally aren't progressive enough. Having worked with former Senator Obama for the last two ...
