Halperin: By Not Endorsing Hillary, De Blasio Plays 'Dangerous Game'

On today's With All Due Respect, Halperin prefaced his ominous observation by saying that there is "furor in Hillary Clinton's camp" over the matter. De Blasio's omission certainly is striking, considering that he…
Daily Beast's Tomasky Trash Talk: 'The Clintons Still Aren't Corrupt'
Michael Tomasky of the Daily Beast is prone to wild overstatement. For example, after the last elections, he counseled the Democrats to just avoid the Southern states after Sen. Mary Landrieu lost.

Hillary's NH Chair Goofs, Can't Identify Her Stands on Hot Issues
This was pretty funny. William Shaheen, Hillary's New Hampshire co-chair and husband of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, appearing on today's With All Due Respect, boasted that he knows where Hillary stands on 10 different issues.
