obama's thing, shockingly, contains a large element of actual thoughtfulness.

that Marty Peretz article has some points worth considering, but I tend to avoid anything expressing irrational-obsessive hatred of the Clintons from either side, especially when it's often personal axe-grinding (like Dick Morris being forever remembered for his toe fetish). With Peretz it's hard to figure out given that it's a guy who both sided with Bush on the war as late as '04 and was a big Gore fan. But I imagine it might have something to do with the impact the Clintons had on the Third Way and its import for TNR - maybe they weren't centrist enough for him, or maybe they so embodied and Democratic-branded the movement that he lost his brand.

The second person thing *might* also be an inclusive gesture, as if he is inviting the questioner to occupy his shoes and thus seems more reasonable as a result. Obama does 'reasonable' very well.
Kerry didn't - and dry wit doesn't play well in a politician outside of his/her core supporters.

bad news: Iraq is worth it, and never mind how much blood & treasure we waste on it.
good news: America is ready for a black president

Ed Kilgore argues that there will be no "True Conservative" horse to show this time around, and I still think that this faction ultimately grudgingly comes around to Romney. But maybe there will be a Perot-sized Buchanan in '08?

http://time-blog.com/swampland/2007/02/nicorette.htmlObama responded that Australia currently has 1400 troops in Iraq and if Howard feels so strongly about "fighting the good fight" he should "send 20,000 more Australians to fight in Iraq."
I know Atrios (for one) has been on a neverending shit-fit since the Swampland blog started with Joe Klein as one of its contributors, but it's actually been pretty good.

Not soon enough! Labor are surging out in front now they have a decent leader. What Howard said about Obama is so fucking embarrasing.
