Daily Training for June 11th: How did Alvin Green win the Democratic US Senate nomination in South Carolina?

One of the strangest and most surprising stories of Tuesday's primary is that of Alvin Greene who won the South Carolina Democratic nomination for the US Senate. The only money he spent was the $10,400 required to register as a candidate and nothing else. Democratic party officials were caught off guard--this is generally considered an un-winnable race against Republican incumbent Jim DeMint and a candidate with experience had been selected to try his best. The story gets worse since it's been revealed that he faces felony charges...a great example of how political parties have less control over their candidates in the US system of government than in parliamentary systems.

Daily Training for June 4th: Tea Party Democrat Struggles To Explain His Candidacy

This video is for everyone who's ever suffered as they've watched their candidate struggle through a speech or question and answer session because this is about the worst performance you could ever expect. In this painfully awkward video, Tim Crawford struggles to explain his own politics and what he stands for. Note is a "tea party" candidate who won a Democratic primary in Indiana so the party base understandably wants to know what makes him a Democrat. He also had a bad luck in that the whole thing was recorded and uploaded to the Huffington Post (doh!) It's been edited so it's hard to tell how bad it actually was in person.

Bill Clinton: essential article and video

There has been a couple interesting bits about Bill Clinton this week. Today, Politico published a very interesting analysis titled "Clinton-Obama: The back story." Also, Clinton gave a CNN interview where he said that Obama has gotten a "bum rap" (unfair criticism) on the oil spill. What I think is even more important are his words about leading in times of crises.
