It’s a pretty messed up situation in the 2008 campaign. Let’s try to sort it out, shall we?
Ezra Klein watches pack journalism at work, 2008 style, and it’s not pretty. Nickel version: If some other reporter says Hillary Clinton melted down because she displayed a flash of emotion in last night’s debate, then she melted down [....]

The Clinton Camp has to figure out how to counter this. They really do.
Obama Soars In New NH Poll; Was Tied With Clinton Yesterday

Sibel Edwards just may qualify as the biggest whistleblower ever, assuming her stories hold up. At any rate, it’s fascinating, disturbing, allegations.
Sibel Edmonds, the FBI whistle-blower who has been gagged for years by the Bush administration over intercepts she translated while at the bureau was willing to go to prison to get her story told. She spent years trying to get her day in court, but the State Secrets gag against her prohibited her from telling her story even to a FISA judge. After years of trying to fight her way to through the maze of the US court system, Sibel Edmonds finally decided to tell her story no matter the consequences and offered to do so to any interested US media outlets. Today, part of that story runs, but not in the United States, where not a single corporate outlet was willing to displease the White House and give Edmonds a platform.

I’ve been waiting for this one, since word leaked out earlier this week that it was coming. Pretty incredible reporting and about as damning a story about electronic voting machines as you could want.
Can You Count on Voting Machines?
Jane Platten gestured, bleary-eyed, into the secure room filled with voting machines. It was 3 a.m. on Nov. 7, and she had been working for 22 hours straight. “I guess we’ve seen how technology can affect an election,” she said. The electronic voting machines in Cleveland were causing trouble again. For a while, it had looked as if [...]
