ethanol subsidies are bullshit, if this somehow puts a chink in their armor as some kind of mandated policy at the federal level, that's a good thing imo

That Salon piece is predictably idiotic. They must pay really well for the writers to be willing to attach their names to shit like that.

idk I figure mocking Hillary picking a Celene Dion song as her campaign song in '08 is pretty much the same as a music publicist sexually assaulting women

Chris Matthews had an interview with Hillary Rodham Clinton on the MSNBC channel of the electric teevee machine Tuesday afternoon that was flatly astounding. This is especially true if you remember Matthews' sorry history with the Clinton family, especially concerning HRC, against whom he was so hostile in 2008 that kindly Doc Maddow called him out on it on the air. Now, though, apparently, Matthews sees HRC as the only thing keeping the Battleship Potemkin from sailing up his driveway....

"We agree on universal health-care."

Holy fuck, she said it would never happen just the other day.

And as noted by someone above, I thought it weird he seemed to be bragging about coming in third with "So this is the moment they said would never happen. For months, for months they told us we had no chance."

I listened to about 20 minutes of Bernie's speech to his supporters after Iowans caucused. I was impressed by how much his program and policy ideas sounded like Ralph Nader in 2000. I voted for Nader in 2000, btw.

"We agree on universal health-care."

Holy fuck, she said it would never happen just the other day.

I imagine Hillary would claim we have universal health care, and that Bernie wants to unravel it all to replace it with something else.

From old thread: "the (Trump) campaign has spent at least $1.2 million on hats."

If my hair looked like that I'd probably prioritize hats as well.

Hillary's going pretty hard for the "we agree on the issues, we disagree on how to get them done, I'm the more practical one, and the important thing is to have the practical one to keep the republicans from ruining everything" formula. I can see why, but mannnn is it disingenuous, starting from "we agree on the issues."

Is that Goldman tweet an outtake from the British Office? This might be the first time I've felt a twinge of sympathy for a Bush.

FiveThirtyEight getting a little, ah, excitable.

natesilver:We keep getting into these loops and eddies about Trump and Rubio and everyone except Cruz, who won Iowa last night, and who’s a clear second in national polls (and could be in first nationally by tomorrow for all we know). Betting markets have Cruz’s nomination chances at just 13 percent, which seems way low.

From a must read NYROB article called "The Clinton System":

[D]irect payments to Hillary Clinton’s political campaigns, including for the Senate in 2000 and for the presidency in 2008 and now in 2016 ... had reached a total of $712.4 million as of September 30, 2015, the most recent figures compiled by Open Secrets. Four of the top five sources of these funds are major banks: Citigroup Inc, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and Morgan Stanley....

what're the odds Rubio owns Christie's "boy in the bubble" nickname for him and starts playing the Simon song at rallies?

Rubio can't spell "Simon."

"Please clap" has now become the saddest two-word utterance I've ever encountered.
