Finally, an article that explains not only why Obama lost Pennsylvania, but why he continues to have difficulty connecting with working-class Democrats. As an Obama supporter who was first drawn to him by his desire to transcend "gutter politics" and those who practice them, I don't want to see him join so many other politicians, including the Clintons, there. However, after reading your insights and analysis, I see that he must. When I saw Clinton sipping (not downing) that shot of Crown Royal, I likened it to Michael Dukakis in the tank and thought it would have...
...either case, whether at $200 or $300, Bush does not want to be the President who leaves the White House on a mule-drawn cart. But Iran's blackmail is not just about oil. The Iranians truly believe they have us hostage in Iraq - our supply lines, the acquiescence of the Shi'a in the occupation. It would all change in an instant, though, especially if we were to borrow Iraq to attack Iran. The way Fars put it: "In Iraq, fighters would rise up in solidarity with each other and begin ... making the Tet Offensive in 1968 Vietnam...
...Obama is able to do this in part because of the grueling, drawn-out delegate fight with Clinton that only just ended. The long primary season forced the campaign to build bases of support for the Illinois Senator in every state. The dividends of the high-profile Democratic presence are already being felt.

His caricature of the Sandinista leader seldom changes: sullen, paunchy and balding, with a gleam of evil mischief in his eye. Ortega's wife, Rosario Murillo - who wears eccentric clothing, dangly jewelry, and talks about peace and love but has a reputation for being vindictive and Machiavellian - practically draws herself. "I draw her as a female version of Ortega, with less weight and lots more hair...
...government in Hanoi has been slow to tackle some of the problems in part because battle lines are no longer neatly drawn between Communist Party hardliners and the party's more liberal economic reformers. Decision-making has been fragmented to the point of paralysis, says Pincus. For example, no single entity is in control of monetary policy. In a system that works on consensus- not just among the party but committees, ministries and provinces-it has been difficult to get leaders to make tough decisions. "It's always harder to distribute the pain," says Pincus. "It's much easier...
