The Nevada primary could provide a breather from the potentially destructive race-versus-gender debate brewing in the Democratic presidential primary.

The need for change has become the mantra of the political season, and it seems like everyone is coming around to the charms of Barack Obama. That doesn’t mean that he’s home free yet.

After a primary season full of mudslinging, will Democratic voters still be able to unite around a nominee?

Even if congressional Democrats have been legitimately stymied by Republicans on their legislative agenda, they are still going to have to answer to voters.

He’s neither the solid establishment candidate nor the exciting upstart, but as the primary season drags on, Edwards is increasingly comfortable with himself — and with voters.

Voters, Democrats in particular, tend to winnow the field of potential presidential candidates to those they like best, then discard those people for someone they think others will like better.

Despite good news from state-level elections this week, Democrats seem to be increasingly concerned about 2008.

Democrats are using a gubernatorial race in Kentucky as a warm-up for swinging the state — and the nation — blue in 2008.

The Obama campaign needs to start hoping that a desperate Edwards will begin to turn up the heat on Hillary.
