Outside the Beltway

He’s tan. He’s rested. He’s old.

Polling remains uncertain in the Alabama Senate race, but the odds favor Roy Moore.

Will Joe Biden be ‘tan, rested, and ready’ enough to take on 2020?

A sign of hope that Alabama voters could end up rejecting the far-right theocratic politics of Roy Moore? Possibly.

Hillary Clinton delivers the most obvious news ever.

Hillary Clinton’s latest memoir lashes out at those to blame for her unexpected loss.

We’re a long way away from the start of the 2020 election cycle, but Democrats are already maneuvering for support and money.

The twice-removed Chief Justice is likely getting a promotion.

It’s not the time away from the White House that matters, it’s the hypocrisy.

Sad news about a Washington stalwart.

There’s already speculation that former Vice-President Biden might try for a third run at the White House, but it seems unlikely.

Unless something happens in the next ten days, Joe Biden will become the first two-term Vice-President who didn’t need to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate.

President Obama thinks he would have beaten Donald Trump. And he’s probably right.

Beginning late this morning, the Electors in each of the states will meet to carry out their Constitutional function. Despite the drama accompanying this year’s election, there’s likely to be far less drama than some people seem to be hoping for.

Neither President Obama nor Vice-President Biden will attend Fidel Castro’s funeral.

One professor is suggesting that Bernie Sanders played a role in 2016 similar to the one that Ralph Nader did in 2000. It doesn’t pass even cursory examination.

A surprising name is emerging as the likely pick for the nation’s top diplomatic position.

According to reports, Vice-President Biden is on a Clinton campaign short list for Secretary of State.

Tuesday night’s running mate debate had lower viewership than any such encounter in sixteen years.

As expected, Marco Rubio easily won the primary for his Senate seat. The General Election battle, though, promises to be more difficult.

President Obama is being criticized for remaining on vacation while Louisiana deals with historic flooding.

As expected, Hillary Clinton went with the ‘safe’ choice, and has selected Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as her running mate.

If reports are correct, Indiana Governor Mike Pence will be Donald Trump’s choice for a running mate.

A purported ‘short list’ of potential running mates for Hillary Clinton is out. Here’s how the candidates stack up.

Republican insiders are apparently still looking at ways to stop Donald Trump at a convention. It’s far too late for that, guys.

With the race for the Democratic nomination over, President Obama is ready to hit the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump would be a horrible president. That doesn’t justify Hillary Clinton’s bad acts.

Regrets, he’s had a few…….

The President could nominate someone to fill the vacancy created by Antonin Scalia’s death as soon a next week, but Republicans in the Senate remain firmly committed to their decision to deny the as yet unnamed nominee any consideration.

Even as Hillary Clinton heads toward winning the Democratic nomination for President, there’s an server-sized shadow over her campaign.

Notwithstanding polling that indicates the American public disagrees with them, Senate Republicans emerged from a meeting today largely united on the idea of not giving any Supreme Court nominee named by President a hearing, or even the courtesy of a meeting.

Conservatives are sending a message to Senate Republicans about the vacancy on the Supreme Court, and it may require them to initiate a suicidal game plan.

In 1992, Joe Biden said that no action should be taken on any potential Supreme Court nominations until after that year’s Presidential election. Sound familiar?

The end of Webbmentum is here, my friends.

As Michael Bloomberg flirts with the idea of running for President, a poll finds very little enthusiasm for the idea.

Barring some event that would essentially be historically unprecedented, Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for President in 2016.

Hillary Clinton’s attempt to explain her relationship with Wall Street and banking interests makes it sound like she’s channeling Rudy Giuliani.

Increasingly concerned by the rise of Donald Trump and Ben Carson and the failure of any establishment candidates to click with voters, some top Republicans are reportedly turning their lonely eyes to Mitt.

Hillary’s leading potential Republican candidates, but so is Bernie! Rand Paul does better against Hillary than other Republicans! Those are the headlines you get from head-to-head match-up polls, but it’s all largely meaningless.

Ben Carson and his supporters would have you believe that he is being subjected to unprecedented and unfair scrutiny. That assertion is completely false.

More good news for Hillary Clinton, and a sign that the race for the Democratic nomination, to the extent there really is a race at this point, is close to being over.

Marco Rubio is taking heat for missing a lot of Senate votes since he started running for President, but he’s not really any worse than other legislators who have run for President.

Several recent nominees were flailing at this point in those cycles.

So close, and yet so very, very, far.
