...Meanwhile, holding the people who cover you in such low regard makes it more difficult for the Clintons to persuade fair-minded journalists of just about anything. If the press isn't worthy of any respect, then there's no reason not to manipulate it with impunity - but no important journalist wants to be manipulated.

"Their similarities when it comes to protecting the country and keeping taxes low are key to the G.O.P. winning in 2008," Perino says. "Their differences are insignificant when it comes to that." And they'll be able to show that together on the campaign trail - assuming, of course, the President's busy schedule allows...
