Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Why The Clintons Aren't Done Yet

By John Hood
Carolina Journal

RALEIGH –
As both anti-Clinton Democrats and anti-Clinton Republicans celebrate Barack Obama’s solid primary win in Wisconsin, I feel compelled to observe that the presidential nomination is not yet settled. It will last at least another couple of weeks, and possibly all the way through North Carolina’s May 6 primary and the Democratic convention this summer.

Discount the bloggers and columnists pronouncing the race over. The Clintons are not going to throw in the towel, despite Obama's impressive Wisconsin showing among nearly all of the voting constituencies of the Democratic coalition. It's not in the Clinton’s nature, and in their own minds there are still factors in play that could win them the game despite the current odds.
