...oldest likely contender, and his style seems out of tune with the iPod age. Hipness wouldn't be a problem for David Miliband (12 to 1 against), the 41-year-old Environment Minister. He's articulate, attractive--he even blogs. Alan Johnson, a genial ex--mail carrier and union leader now running Education, is a bit more popular, and M.P.s praying for anyone-but-Brown are leaning toward him as their best hope. (He's a 6-to-1 underdog, but his odds are the best of the second tier...

...Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman was looking to completely destroy his opponent, millionaire cable executive Ned Lamont, in their debate Thursday night, it didn't happen. It was clear from the start of the debate, which was broadcast nationally on C-SPAN and MSNBC, that Lieberman was not taking the genial, low-voltage approach of his debate in 2000 against Dick Cheney, his opponent in the Vice Presidential race.
