Do the Clintons intend to eviscerate what ought to be Obama's coronation at the Democratic Party Convention in Denver next week?

In the annals of U.S.-Russian relations, Secretary of State Rice has proven once again to be not up to the task at effectively managing the one area of foreign policy that is her principal area of expertise -- U.S.-Russian relations.

I want the Democrats to win the White House and to make the next Supreme Court appointments and that's why Obama has got to put Gen. Wesley Clark in the second spot on the ticket.

As much as Obama cannot and should not abandon his goals, neither can we. We want change we can believe in, but we also want change that can happen.

Fiorina's apparent ignorance of the issue-based ties between Obama and Clinton undercuts her role as McCain ambassador to Clinton's women. She belittles Clinton's priorities and the intelligence of women voters.

The division within the Democratic Party seems to be growing ever more ugly and intractable. Obama might bridge this divide by announcing he'll do everything in his power to ratify the ERA.

I can spare Sen. Obama a lot of wasted time if he truly wants to visit the real Iraq -- not the Baghdad that John McCain wants him to see, and upon which to judge Iraq.

Because Bush has little to offer in the way of a new American Middle East strategy, he preyed on Israelis' worst fears. That's quite a birthday present to a nation that has endured so much.

Obama should stop pussyfooting around -- no more nuanced conversation and put himself in a place where he can answer the tough questions about Israel.

We can be sure that in the coming general election the Republicans will once again trot out Rovian anti-abortion, anti-gay issues to whip Catholics into line.

There is anger out there among Democrats, especially in Texas, about what Bush has done to us and to this country. It's deep and it's real.

Making a clear commitment to choose Clinton for secretary of state would add much to Obama's appeal, given that his experience in foreign policy is particularly short.

The Senate Democrats are about to cave in to President Bush and give giant telephone companies retroactive immunity from lawsuits for unlawfully cooperating with Bush's illegal wiretapping.

Sen. Obama: Let that moral compass come from us, by example. And with that... Sen. Clinton and Obama together: Let the best candidate win! And then I woke up.

To make a career in public life a person must know himself and know the times. But to make a historical career in public life, the times must seek you out. That happens only rarely, and now it has happened to a junior senator from Illinois.

Women are too smart, informed, and astute at reading between the lines to back a presidential candidate who isn't being straight with them -- especially when she is a woman.
