To nominate Clinton is to is play Russian roulette with the presidency and to risk losing key House and Senate races in red and purple states. Obama's candidacy is a bit more unpredictable.

I'm almost nostalgic for the days when the press paid too much attention to campaign consultants since at least those dispatches had some substance to them.

This was a week for might-have-beens and paths-not-taken. Al Gore accepted the Nobel Prize, reminding us that America's loss was Mother Earth's gain. President Bush stood in the White House and told ABC: "I doubt I'd be standing here if I hadn't quit drinking whiskey." Sobriety's gain was America's loss. And Bill Clinton told an Iowa crowd that when they were first dating, he advised Hillary to dump him. I wonder if Ron Burkle gave the same advice to Bill. And a reminder to all readers: our Bush Years posters are selling like Lawrence O'Donnell dolls at a Salt Lake City voodoo shop, so order yours today. They make great political stocking stuffers.

Edwards has been inconsistent, both in his positions and in his behavior. How many "mistakes," as he has openly called a number of his previous decisions, can he expect us to move beyond?
