...find it galling that Clinton's supporters keep demanding to be heard. They lost because they had poor strategy and poor cohesion among the campaign leadership and failed to keep Bill Clinton on a short leash. If they think they will get a better deal from McCain in terms of moving a progressive agenda forward, they are sadly mistaken. Eugene M. Giudice, CHICAGO...
...months, much of the Democratic Party intelligentsia in Washington has insisted that Obama must do the latter and pick an older, white, foreign-policy or establishment figure such as Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware, Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, even Senator Hillary Clinton of New York.

Conspicuously absent from Barack Obama's grand tour of the Middle East and Europe was a stop in Islamabad. No doubt Pakistan is a touchy subject for Obama. During the Democratic primary he promised to "take out" al-Qaeda in Pakistan's lawless Northwest Frontier Province, which unleashed Hillary Clinton's acid contempt and disapproval from a lot of other people who understand that Pakistan is a mess that can't be fixed anytime soon...
