Memo to the anti-Clinton brigades
Hillary is my least favorite of the viable candidates on substantive grounds, and I’ll be voting for Barack Obama here pretty soon here in California via absentee poll. The second-to-last thing I want is Mark Penn and Terry McAluiffe anywhere approach the White House. (The final thing? Another...
New Hampshire Post-Mortem
Let me start by saying that final night, I think we saw one of the greatest political comeback upsets of all moment.
