Bernie Sanders — who has been surging in New Hampshire, where he took the lead last week, according to recent polling — Clinton’s new message is shaped by economic populism and a concern for inequality in the workforce. “When you see that you’ve got CEOs making…

Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio‘s slow-go campaign strategy is puzzling party operatives in Iowa and New Hampshire, states where voters are used to candidates showering them with attention early and often.

in 2017 by

All presidential candidates want to get to Washington, D.C. But what about Washington, New Hampshire? Incorporated a dozen years before George Washington‘s first inauguration, Washington is one of a half-dozen New Hampshire towns named after presidents. But, along with most other communities, it has largely been bypassed by those hoping to become president.

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

I couldn’t be happier this morning, after staying up until midnight last night to see my lifelong basketball team, the Golden State Warriors, defeat the Houston Rockets,  and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1975. Of course, there’s a guy by the name of LeBron James who stands in their way of actually capturing the Finals, which should make for irresistible entertainment. LeBron returned home to Cleveland last summer, and that city hasn’t won a championship…

Strange as it may sound, Scott Walker has been overshadowed in the press over the past month, despite the fact that the Wisconsin governor continues to lead everyone in Iowa and is second in most polls in New Hampshire and in national surveys. But he certainly made news when he suggested on Laura Ingraham‘s nationally syndicated radio program Tuesday morning that if in fact he gets into the race (like Jeb Bush, he’s non-candidate officially at the moment), he’s likely to stay…
