Obama at Ebenezer: Two calls for unity  —  Both Obama and Clinton are making high-profile appeals for the black vote today, Obama at Ebenezer in Atlanta trying to consolidate his high levels of support, Clinton at Abyssinian in New York trying to defend her strongest redoubts — among older poeple …

Nicholas D. Kristof / New York Times:
Hillary, Barack, Experience  —  With all the sniping from the Clinton camp about whether Barack Obama has enough experience to make a strong president, consider another presidential candidate who was far more of a novice.  He had the gall to run for president even though he had served …

McCain Agonistes  —  Ever since I wrote a favorable column about John McCain, I have been swamped with furious e-mail from outraged conservatives, alleging this and that, and going through in systematic fashion the usual litany-McCain-Feingold, illegal immigration, tax cuts, global warming, etc.

Yes, Obama Won Nevada  —  Imagine if, the day after the 2000 election, the national media simply didn't care about what happened in Florida, and instead acted as though Al Gore had won the election because he won the popular vote.  Imagine if all cries from the Bush campaign about something called …
