...more exacting model for Obama may be the rookie Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who logged a scant two years as governor of New Jersey (his first go at elective office) before making his bid for the White House in 1912. Like Obama, Wilson had spent his adult life immersed in university politics. Wilson's essays on American history feature the voice of a professor, not a machine candidate. Obama is himself something of a Wilsonian progressive, a man who puts his faith in transparency and voluntarism rather than New Deal--style interest-group wrangling.

What becomes now of Hillary Clinton? Will she run again for President? Make a bid for Senate majority leader? Go home to New York and run for governor? Does she covet a job in Barack Obama's Cabinet or maybe an appointment to the Supreme Court? No, no, no and no, come the answers.

...home state by just 3.5 points - an average of Arizona polls that show Obama down as little as 1 point or as much as 5. Which is why the Obama campaign announced late last week that it would buy advertising in the Grand Canyon State in a late bid to win Arizona's 10 electoral votes. It is "a very, very close race," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters in a conference call on Friday...
