Outside the Beltway

The service is taking a big risk but not without much discussion.

It’s usually more effective to run for something rather than against someone.

A conservative columnist explains how once-Republican states are switching sides.

A trio of new polls shows Elizabeth Warren slipping past Bernie Sanders into second place in the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination

Former Senator and Denocratic Presidential candidate Jim Webb is reportedly being considered for Defense Secretary.

Less than twelve hours into the General Election campaign for Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis is already making mistakes.

Frank Carlucci, who served as President Reagan’s last Secretary of Defense, has died at 87.

With just one day to go, Clinton’s paths to victory continue to look far more realistic than Donald Trump’s.

Seven days from now, millions of Americans will be headed to the polls. So far at least, Hillary Clinton is still the front runner.

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

Regrets, he’s had a few…….

The end of Webbmentum is here, my friends.

Jim Webb’s recent criticism of Hillary Clinton is renewing speculation about an independent bid for the White House, but he hardly seems like a viable candidate for such a run.

A new poll provides further evidence that Hillary Clinton’s path to the Democratic nomination looks to be clear.

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.

Republicans seem to be thinking that Hillary Clinton will be an easier General Election candidate than the evidence suggests she is likely to be.

Pure fantasy.

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

For much of the summer, the story of the Democratic race for President was the story of Hillary Clinton’s seemingly endless problems. Those days seem long gone if the latest polls are any indication.

Jim Webb’s campaign for the Democratic nomination has been largely forgettable, so now he’s apparently threatening to run as an Independent.

In addition to doing everything she needed to do last night, Hillary Clinton also destroyed whatever logic remained for a Joe Biden candidacy.

There were five candidates on the stage. Only two mattered.

With the first Democratic Presidential Debate just hours away, Hillary Clinton got some good polling news from Fox News Channel.

An FCC rule from a bygone era may get Bernie Sanders and company some time on NBC.

The pressure on Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to expand the 2016 debate schedule is increasing.

Bernie Sanders continues to cause Hillary Clinton problems, and Joe Biden could cause more if he enters the race.

A new poll shows Bernie Sanders gaining traction outside of New Hampshire for the first time.

Some of Hillary Clinton’s Democratic opponents are complaining about the DNC’s parsimonious debate schedule.

Trump is at -51 net favorability and Clinton at +40. The rest of the field is at “Who?”

A new poll shows Bernie Sanders ahead of Hillary Clinton, but within the margin of error, in New Hampshire. But a deeper examination suggests that Bernie-mentum is a mile wide and an inch deep.

Based on a recent poll, it doesn’t appear that Democrats are all that eager for Vice-President Biden to challenge Hillary Clinton.

Last night reinforced what I thought about some candidates and changed what I think about others.

There’s another round of reports about Joe Biden running for President, but I wouldn’t put much stock them.

While “fundamentals” will have more impact on choosing our next president than what happens on the campaign trail, the race itself is important.

Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb is running for President for reasons I would assume make sense to him.

Bernie Sanders is closing in the polls, but it still seems as though it doesn’t mean as much as some political pundits will try to tell you it does.

If Jim Webb runs for President, he will be the only candidate in either party who is on record defending the Confederate Battle Flag. And he’s thinking of running as a Democrat.

A new poll shows that Hillary Clinton remains largely unstoppable on her quest for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, and she has a pretty clear path to the White House as well.

Two new polls show Bernie Sanders rising in the polls in New Hampshire, but they likely don’t mean anything in the long term.

Hillary Clinton remains as much the inevitable Democratic nominee as she always has been.

The “Draft Warren” movement is basically dead.

Hillary Clinton is a deeply flawed candidate who might not even make a very good President. But that doesn’t matter in the race for the Democratic Nomination, and she’s probably going to be the next President anyway.

Maryland’s former Governor will announce his candidacy for President next week. Don’t expect him to go very far.

Bernie Sanders is running for President. He’s not going to win, but he’s not running because he thinks he can win.

The press corps is already bored.

The GOP race remains tight, but some candidates have benefited from their entry into the race more than others. Overall, though, Hillary Clinton continues to dominate.

To the surprise of few, Hillary Clinton is running for President

Once again, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren says she isn’t running for President, and has no plans to do so.
