Putting Obama at the center of a team of rivals, all of them familiar, even venerable, pieces of political furniture would dampen the he's-not-one-of-us factor that is still his greatest danger.

Obama might be wise to bypass his own supporters when he goes to select a vice-presidential candidate. Reaching out instead to a high-profile Clinton supporter may be the best way to unite the party.

Obama has to follow Gov. Rendell's path to victory in PA: Win huge in Philadelphia, a large margin in the suburbs, break even in Allegheny County, and hold on for dear life in the rest of the state.
