...Where Clinton Went Wrong I'm surprised Karen Tumulty left out what I and many others consider to be Hillary Clinton's biggest mistake [May 19]. She voted for the war in Iraq and never fully apologized. Democratic primary voters and caucusgoers simply demanded accountability from their elected representatives. James Bordonaro, EMPORIA, KANS...
...ghost of Jimmy Carter is haunting the 2008 campaign. Well, let me restate that: the ghost of his presidency haunts the 2008 campaign. As for Carter, he certainly has not passed on; he is an active freelance diplomat and campaign consultant. In recent days he has told Hillary Clinton to "give it up" in June and estimated the size of Israel's nuclear stockpile. (Other previous Presidents have kept tactfully silent about its very existence.)

Returning to the Senate now after having won millions of votes and raised hundreds of millions of dollars, Clinton could bring attention to a legislative agenda, such...
...First, though, Clinton has some fence mending to do with her colleagues. And, ultimately, she may decide it's not worth it, Sabato said. "Clinton may be restless in the Senate," he said. "She came tantalizingly close to being the most powerful person in the world. Being one of 100 in a body that is half the Congress is a poor substitute. Losing presidential candidates have a hard time readjusting, as John Kerry can attest." Though as Clinton is proving in this Presidential race, she is likely to stick around the Senate a lot longer than most people expect...
