...Myers:The book isn't an argument about Hillary Clinton at all. I'd be thrilled if she did win, though at this point it's unclear. It's not an argument for one woman to rule, but for more women in Congress, legislature, business, diplomacy, at every level of public life. Women have a lot of power in private life. There are many men who would say, Hey, women already rule my life. But with women, more is more. The more there are, the more the world gets used to seeing them. We change the culture. We begin...
...making the case that she would be a better President than Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton never forgets to summon the argument that she has more experience. But as the Florida State simulations show, experience doesn't always help. In fact, three decades of research into expert performance has shown that experience itself - the raw amount of time you spend pursuing any particular activity, from brain surgery to skiing - can actually hinder your ability to deliver reproducibly superior performance...

In Tuesday's debate, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama danced around the difficult question of whether they'd re-invade Iraq if al-Qaeda reestablished itself there after the U.S. withdrew...
...emotional high point in the debate came on a discussion of the Iraq war, when Clinton accused Obama of having given a good speech against the war at first but then, in essence, having an identical record to hers' after he came to the Senate. Obama dismissed that argument dramatically, saying Iraq "was a big strategic blunder" and then arguing that Clinton "facilitated and enabled" George W. Bush in driving "the bus into the ditch...
