Winning ugly  —  US elections 2008: Hillary Clinton's victory in Nevada may be a hollow one if her husband continues to hurt her campaign  —  Well, it wasn't big and it sure wasn't pretty - in fact it was downright ugly - but Hillary Clinton's win in Nevada gives her an advantage now over Barack Obama in the Democratic contest.

Jan. 20: Political roundtable  —  Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jon Meacham, Peggy Noonan, Tom Brokaw, Michele Norris  —  MR. TIM RUSSERT: Our issues this Sunday: Senator John McCain wins the Republican South Carolina primary.  In Nevada, it's Romney for the GOP and Clinton for the Democrats.  What now?
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
THE BIG QUESTION  —  For my part, I would have vastly preferred to see Mike Huckabee win this thing tonight.  But McCain's victory tonight does set us up to get an answer to an important question: just how much enmity is there for John McCain among base Republican voters?

Why Democrats Should Support McCain  —  So after eight years of waiting, my main man — Senator Johnny Mac — finally won a primary in the very state that, in 2000, helped set the course for the so-called Bush presidency.  —  Good for John.  Unfortunately, I fear the most challenging days …

BY MAUREEN DOWD, DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE  —  One of the highlights of my trip to Israel this past August was the helicopter tour that took us from Herzliya down the separation fence and over to Sderot.  My guide on the helicopter was Calev Ben-David, who is in the middle of our group in the photograph accompanying “A view from the fence.”

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.
