Hillary is running against a man not even old enough to remember the day John Fitzgerald Kennedy died in 1963. She and Obama are on different generational sides of that river of remembrance.

Only two primaries so far and we already see it -- each day brings news of a more intense rivalry that could easily create permanent bad blood between the two candidates and their supporters.

The image of conservatism, indeed the label itself, hides a shameful reality. Jingoism, war-mongering, fiscal irresponsibility, and nativism go back to the very source.

To paraphrase a Buddhist proverb, "a butterfly flaps its wings in a New Hampshire coffee shop and a tsunami hits Washington, D.C."

If Obama being male got him in the presidential sweepstakes, what was it for Clinton?

While it is true that Obama "clearly and unambiguously oppose[d] the war in Iraq," he did not always clearly and unambiguously use his position or platform to help actually end the war in Iraq.

Obama offers a calculatedly vague promise of optimism and change. Hillary continues to speak a language we have had a lot of experience with -- triangulation and protracted engagement.

A leaflet scattered about Grand Rapids, Michigan today is urging voters to "let your voice be heard"... so long as that voice isn't for Hillary Clinton.

There was a time when racist and sexist code words always seemed to work come Election Day. Well, they're not working now.

Obama has inspired young voters, just as Dean did last cycle, but Obama's campaign excelled by using technology that mobilized new and young voters to actually show up and be counted.

New Hampshire voters did what they normally do: decide late, change their minds often, and don't talk much about who they are going to vote for.

If the boisterous beginning of this presidential campaign proves anything, it's the empirical fact that a year of polls and predictions were flat wrong.

Granite-staters are fed up with anything that constitutes politics-as-normal inside the Beltway and that includes anyone who is perceived -- rightly or wrongly -- associated with it.

If Sen. Obama or Sen. Edwards or Sen. Clinton is capable of chasing early vote-by-mail ballots, California could surprise.

David Brooks is handsome; he's just not that smart and too often is wrong. Look at all the ink he's wasted over the years supporting Bush in Iraq and everywhere else.
