(Aug. 11) -- Caution! Your Vice President approaches. On Wednesday, Air Force Two was involved in what is being described as a minor accident at Long Island, New York's Francis S. Gabreski Airport. According to the Associated Press, no one was injured after the "jet wash" from Biden's plane damaged the wing of a smaller plane as it passed close by. The Vice President was on-board the plane, which took off, apparently unaware of the damage left behind.

Young also told "Good Morning America" today that after he broke with Edwards, tensions over the cover-up got so heated that he feared for his family's safety. "For several months, I used to get up at 3 a.m....

14 yers ago today, on July 20, 1993, the body of Vincent Walker Foster, Jr. was found in a Virginia park, next to a civil war cannon, with an unidentified revolver lodged in the right hand. Vincent Foster died of a small-caliber gunshot wound to his head. Vince Foster was not only deputy White House counsel but also the personal attorney to Bill and Hillary Clinton. On the night of Foster’s death, top Clinton aides made a frantic effort to enter and remove documents from his West Wing office. In the days that followed, federal investigators were stymied in their...

Barack Obama and his advisers have begun the process of vetting vice presidential running mates, and Hillary Clinton and several former military leaders have landed on the soon-to-be Democratic nominee’s list of 20 potential candidates. Clinton, Obama’s rival during the primary contests, reportedly made the cut by building an energetic coalition of support among women, working-class voters and Hispanics in her unsuccessful bid for the party’s nomination, and, according to Obama, “would be on anybody's short list.” Clinton finished strong by winning six of the last nine and nine of the last 15 primaries, including decisive 10-point victories over Sen....

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton said Thursday that she's not actively seeking to be running mate to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and suggested that people who are pushing her for vice president are acting on their own. Two days after several top Clinton loyalists flooded the airwaves and the Internet pushing a so-called Obama-Clinton "Dream Team," Clinton's campaign issued a statement that said "she is not seeking the vice presidency, and no one speaks for her but her." "The choice is Senator Obama's and his alone," Clinton campaign communications director Howard Wolfson said in the statement. Obama, speaking to...

Hillary Clinton's superdelegate lead over Barack Obama has become razor thin. Ted Kennedy doesn't see a spot for Clinton on Obama's ticket. Ted Kennedy, the aging liberal lion of the Democratic Party, took a nasty bite out of Hillary Clinton Friday, saying she shouldn't be vice president because the job requires "real leadership." "I don't think it's possible," Kennedy, a Barack Obama supporter, told Bloomberg Television when asked about an Obama-Clinton ticket. Kennedy added that he hoped Obama would choose a running mate who is "in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people. "And I...

You may think I am joking, But I am not. It certainly appears that Hillary's lust for power is so strong she might just take another shot at the Presidency under a new party. Or maybe she will just resign to being a Senator and ruling NY and dump slick Willie in the process.

Barack Obama's victory in Wisconsin on Tuesday was just the latest sign that Hillary Clinton's desperate, anti-democratic moves to salvage her bid for the Democratic nomination are destroying her last chances to win a fair fight. Loudly and publicly, the Clintons proclaim that superdelegates should feel free to ignore the wishes of the folks back home and jam Hillary's nomination through at the convention. They openly predict that they'll demand the seating of the Michigan and Florida delegations, totally contravening the party's rules. Do they think the voters aren't listening to these authoritarian pronouncements, reminiscent of the days before the...

Even longtime Clinton ally James Carville is acknowledging that Hillary is in trouble, saying that if she loses the March 4 primary in either Texas or Ohio, her campaign is doomed. Speaking at the International Builders Show in Florida on Wednesday, Carville — a top adviser to Bill Clinton in the 1990s — declared: “She’s behind. Make no mistake. If she loses either Texas or Ohio, this thing is done.” After his recent resounding wins in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., Barack Obama holds a narrow lead over Clinton in total delegates, 1,272 to 1,231, although Hillary leads in superdelegates,...

I believe that Barack Obama will defeat Hillary and win the Democratic nomination. I think that this weekend's victories in states as diverse as Washington State, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Maine illustrates his national appeal and demonstrates Hillary's inability to win in states without large immigrant and Latino populations. Hillary's results on Super Tuesday, which amounted to a draw with Obama, will be her high water mark and will represent the closest she will ever come to the party nomination. Right now, CBS has Obama ahead in elected delegates with 1134, while Hillary has only 1131.By the time Virginia, Maryland, DC,...

The MSNBC "Hardball" host had more explaining to do after Clinton's victory when he said that the reason Clinton is a candidate for president "is that her husband messed around." Matthews was the focal point for the anger many women felt at how Clinton's candidacy seemed to be written off with lightning speed following a loss in Iowa and foreboding poll numbers in New Hampshire. He is a man and he is ever sure of himself. He also had a history: The liberal watchdog Media Matters for America counted more than eight negative remarks Matthews made about Clinton for every...

Hillary Clinton Another highlight from that conference call with Hillary strategist Mark Penn: One caller from Oklahoma City said that "the questions ... were designed to incite a brawl," and that Russert's and Brian William's moderating was "an abdication of journalistic responsibility." Another said Russert "should be shot," before quickly adding that she shouldn't say that on a conference call. Penn and Mantz said they were hearing a lot of the same sentiment from other supporters, but they do not plan to engage the media or the debate's moderators...

WASHINGTON - Democratic White House front-runner Hillary Clinton's buck-raking campaign is a "poster child" for corrupt Washington, a top adviser for rival John Edwards charged yesterday. "If you want to know why we need change in Washington ...then just look at Sen. Clinton's schedule for today," Edwards adviser Joe Trippi e-mailed supporters, calling her $1,000-a-head fund-raiser with security industry fat cats "a 'poster child' for what is wrong" with D.C. "The American people know that the system in Washington has become corroded and corrupt," he continued, "yet too many in office have fallen under the spell of campaign money at...

"Clinton Fights to Keep Impeachment Taboo" headlined the Washington Post, with the following subheadline: "After Spat, Campaigns Know to Expect Swift Reprisal for any Hint of the Scandal." And the Post reported: "Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has a new commandment for the 2008 presidential field: Thou shalt not mention anything related to the impeachment of her husband." Can you believe this? The American people are now expected through all members of the media – and all election crowd questioners – to observe censorship. There are to be no questions regarding impeachment, trial and conviction for perjury and obstruction of justice...

There's a new mortal sin in American politics: criticizing Hillary Clinton. Nobody's allowed to do it. Certainly none of her opponents. If they dare to, Hillary sends in one of her boys, who practically accuses them of being un-American. In January, without ever mentioning Hillary's name and before she was even a candidate, John Edwards dared to express the view that silence on the Iraq War was "betrayal." Ignoring the substance of Edwards' speech, Clinton gun slinger Howard Wolfson immediately shot from the hip, attacking him for waging a negative campaign: "In 2004, John Edwards used to constantly brag about...

Chris Matthews Calls Hillary Clinton ‘Dukakis in a Dress’ Posted by Noel Sheppard on January 21, 2007 - 21:53. With the love-fest that is currently going on over Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), it is certainly no surprise when a group of mainstream media members gets together to discuss Hillary Clinton’s shortcomings. Yet, it is quite odd to hear someone like Chris Matthews state that the current frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination – and a former first lady – is a female incarnation of one of the biggest left-wing failures in decades (video available here courtesy of our friend...

Hillary Clinton regards fellow Senator Barack Obama as her biggest obstacle to the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, and is already mapping out strategy to derail an Obama campaign. Clinton believes enthusiasm for an Obama run would diminish as voters get the message about his lack of experience in government and foreign affairs. In meetings with fellow Democrats, Clinton and her aides – without mentioning Obama by name – stress that experience will be a major factor in determining a successful candidate during difficult times, "an argument that her team will no doubt make in a stronger way against...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton views Barack Obama as her biggest obstacle to nomination, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Wednesday, but Clinton believes the threat of his candidacy will diminish as voters learn how inexperienced he is in government and foreign affairs! MORE Editors have placed a story filed by reporter Adam Nagourney in Page One lead positions, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. Clinton has engaged in a series of nearly nonstop political consultations since Election Day, in what her advisers say are preparations for, in all likelihood, announcing her interest in running for president.

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama came to Hillary Rodham Clinton's turf for a fundraiser and told reporters the New York senator would be a strong presidential candidate. Obama was the speaker at a dinner that raised $700,000 for Kids in Distressed Situations, the New York Daily News reported. Tickets went for $2,500 each. "I have the utmost respect for Hillary Clinton," he told reporters. "She has been a friend and an ally. She could win if she ran." Neither Clinton nor Obama has made a formal announcement about seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
