Marc, Now that Easter has passed, and the season of Lent and sacrifice has ended, I have started indulging my guilty pleasures again. For me this means inordinate hours watching home improvement television. I admit it. I am an HGTV, Style Network, DIY...

Marc, Richardson's endorsement was, without a doubt, one of my favorite moments of the political season so far. It had been a tough week for Obama because of the incessant replays of the Wright sermon clips and the screaming Buchanan and friends analysis...

Melissa, On Friday, I received one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2008 political season. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a close political ally of the Clintons, publicly endorsed Barack Obama. Although I’m not an Obama supporter (yes, I must...

Melissa, As much as I hate to admit it, you are right. At least partially. I openly confess that, after Tuesday’s speech, I was momentarily swept up in Obama-rama. As I said to you publicly, I assumed that Obama would follow traditional political crisis-relief...

Marc, It was a pleasure hanging out on television with you yesterday. Although you were in Philly and I was here in New Orleans, I can't think of anyone I would have rather discussed Barack's speech with than you. My favorite part was the dramatic change...

Marc Put down your remote control and step away from CNN, MSNBC and especially FoxNews. This is not a certified political crisis! Let's review the issue: six years ago the now retired pastor of a church in Chicago gave a sermon which reflected the views...

Melissa, What’s up with your boy? For the first time this election season, your boy Barack Obama is facing a certified political crisis. Ever since the national media obtained excerpts of a controversial sermon by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Obama has...

Marc, I took my mom to lunch. I bought my older sister a card. I called a student I mentor closely. I set a coffee date with one of my colleagues. And I read a Joyce Carol Oates book today. Why? Because I had to remind myself that there are plenty of...

I’m shocked at you Melissa. How can you revoke Hillary’s Clinton’s feminist card so easily? Have you considered that, like many third wave feminists , she has rejected essentialist understandings of female identity? Isn’t at least possible that she hasn’t...

Ok Marc, right here on TheRoot.com I am officially revoking Hillary Clinton’s feminist credentials card. Why now? Any feminist worth the label should have “rejected and denounced” New York Governor Eliot Spitzer within an hour of his admitting his connection...

Melissa, I share your pain about Antonin Scalia. It is truly sad that the Supreme Court’s most intelligent and likeable judge is also its most dangerous. From his backdoor friendship with Vice-President Cheney to his refusals to recuse himself from cases...

Marc I am just emerging after being very sick this weekend: fever, chills, stomach flu, the whole thing. I know something has been going around, but I am convinced that my illness was political in origin. My immunity was already weak after the Ohio and...

Marc, Didn’t your mother teach you not to kick a brother when he is down? Barack is still recovering from last night’s close losses in Texas and Ohio and you want me to beat him up on TheRoot? But I am, like my candidate, a person of my word, and you...

Melissa, During one of our many blog debates about Barack Obama, you promised me that if he started drifting too far to the right, you’d help yank him back. While I think that he started off too far to the right, even you have to admit that your boy was...
