  • St. Paddy's Day Formula: How Green is Your Candidate?

    On St. Patrick's Day, everybody's Irish, right? That includes the candidates, two-thirds of whom have traceable Irish roots. (The other married Bill Clinton, who descends from the Irish, too.) But as Political Nanny likes to tell her charges, it doesn't matter where you came from as much...

  • Extra Cookie: 2 More Words to the Dems

    Political Nanny is proud of senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for ignoring Tim Russert's cues to go after each other on stage. It's so easy to descend into a tantrum.
