BARACK Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Sarah Palin and John McCain, dispatching Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida tomorrow.

On the day Hillary Clinton came out to campaign for Barack Hussein Obama (and when putative V-P nominee John Edwards admitted he had indeed had an affair that the liberal media had compliantly ignored), John McCain has launched another hard-hitting commercial attacking Obama.

You can tell who sees himself as the underdog - John McCain finishes by lashing out at Barack Obama, saying he doesn't have the knowledge, experience or judgement to lead the country. "I don't think I need any on-the-job training." Tough stuff. Was he stealing a Hillary Clinton line? McCain even tries to argue that Obama is like George W. Bush on foreign policy - we've seen "st...

Heh: A new national poll suggests that Americans think President-elect Barack Obama’s getting it right when it comes to his Cabinet picks, especially Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates.

That's what former Hillary Clinton message guy Howard Wolfson writes here, while John Harris and Jim VandeHei of Politico report that journalists privately believe: "This election is just about over, and Obama is just about to be president."

The visuals in presidential debatere often all important and the split screen of th two candidate's faces as they sit side by side are very revealing. Barack Obama is laughing at John McCain. Every time McCain attacks, Obama grins. At other times he looks smug and almost as if he's sneering - the return of that aloof, condescending look that did him harm against Hillary Clinton in the pr...

The two presidential candidates both spoke last night at the Alfred E Smith Memorial Dinner. McCain was awesome - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama could not stop laughing at his gags. The ridicule heaped on Obama was superb - but his graciousness in the second half of his speech was humbling. If only we'd have seen more of this side of McCain in the campaign...

It looks like it may not be Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama seems to be keeping his options open and he is still meeting with John McCain on Monday. Perhaps my prediction was right. Wait and see. I can't think of a better man for the job.
