Jesse Helms, Conservative Force in the Senate, Dies at 86  —  Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina Senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday.  He was 86.

The Difference  —  If conservatives want to argue that Barack Obama's been flip-flopping on Iraq, I'll disagree but I could see what they mean.  Charles Krauthammer, however, can't seriously believe that Obama's been “assiduously obliterat[ing] all differences with McCain on national security …
