...Great to see you on this glorious day," Labor candidate George Newhouse says to Hawke, who has told the party he led to power in 1983 that he's ready to help any way he can. Already, it's dispatched him to numerous marginal electorates, including Prime Minister John Howard's seat of Bennelong. There, in a community hall, Hawke delighted the faithful with an attack on the government's foreign policy. That was a night for rousing oratory. Today, Hawke will do what he does best: hit strangers between the eyes with his peculiar brand of ocker charm...
...many decades and fund charitable acts beyond a benefactor's vision. Yet for someone seeking purpose right now, there may be nothing like abandoning the corporate ladder and wading into the do-good weeds.

Paul, a 72-year-old hard-core libertarian Republican Congressman who is against foreign intervention, subsidies and the federal income tax, is not only drawing impressive crowds (more than 2,000 at a post-debate rally at the University of Michigan last month) but also raising tons of cash...
...defend yourself. In the nine primary campaigns I've covered, the willingness to attack was a) a sign of desperation and b) a leading indicator of failure, especially if it became the defining characteristic of a candidacy. Four years ago, John Kerry wisely decided not to go negative on Howard Dean and won the nomination when Dean and Dick Gephardt slaughtered each other in a negative-ad shoot-out. Now that Edwards has taken the lead against Clinton, Obama might profit by staying aloof and presidential...
...Clinton campaign's response was immediate: "Senator Obama once promised Americans a politics of hope," said Howard Wolfson, a Clinton spokesman. "But now that his campaign has stalled he is abandoning that strategy and is engaging in the same old-style personal attacks that he once rejected. We are confident that voters will reject this strategy, especially from a candidate who told us he would do better...
