Chelsea: The Clinton Everyone at Work Can Agree On.
Quoted: In the past few weeks, Chelsea has become perhaps her mother’s most effective and mistake-free surrogate, sometimes even drawing bigger crowds than her father, whose ability to attract attention, sometimes for the wrong reasons, is decidedly a mixed blessing for his wife.
Quoted: “Another person might have gone through the same things and come out extraordinarily bitter,” says Clinton loyalist Paul Begala. “Does she strike you as a woman who got bitter or got better?”
I really liked this story. It's hard to know whether all the happy childhood stories are true, but her dedication to her parents is obvious.

All that Teflon Sarah talk was annoying. She was a great story like Obama was a great story. But the pendulum swings back on those.
Quoted: A tight race? It certainly is a tight race, and has been all year. But this, of course, is not really the lead story. The story is that there has been a rather dramatic shift in the national polling toward Barack Obama in the past 2-4 days, coinciding with the Wall Street financial crisis. Some pundits will love this, since it gives them something fresh to talk about. But others, like those cynical beat writers in the Wrigley Field press box, will be annoyed, because it means that the the story they were telling us just a few days ago -- that the Obama campaign was in trouble, that Sarah Palin was the greatest thing since sliced bread -- has now been more or less invalidated.

I have a really bad case of Palin fatigue like everyone else, but this was too good to pass up.
Quoted: We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked. We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is her record? Where does she stand on the issues? And is she is qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

I read this a few weeks ago and thought I'd dot it since Huckabee's momentum seems to be growing. Very interesting. Makes one wonder if he could survive the scrutiny that would come with early success.
Quoted: The national media seems to have a crush on our
ex-governor, but here in Arkansas, we know better.Quoted: Before we begin, though, a word of warning to any reporters who might want to repeat, on air or in print, any of the facts recounted below. Huckabee does not take kindly to journalists who practice journalism.
Quoted: Huckabee revealed an enduring weakness as glaring as that other Arkansas governor's fondness for women. Huckabee seems to love loot and has a dismissive attitude toward ethics, campaign finance rules and propriety in general. Since that first, failed campaign, the ethical questions have multiplied.
(Just a heads up, you might have to endure an ad for "Iconoclasts" to read the whole article. Worst show ever...)

Cool article - I miss Bernie Shaw. For more on his impressive career and the rise of cable news check out "Live from Baghdad," a great HBO production.
Quoted: "I couldn't not do that. I'm from the Chicago school of journalism. I believe in asking tough questions. This whole process is too easy on politicians. They fly up and down the country asking for votes and they ought to be forced to stand up and say what they really feel. Otherwise the voters are being jilted."
