...vast majority of presidential wannabes who return to the Senate end up like Dodd and Biden, choosing a legislative, rather than leadership, path - satisfied with presiding over your own fiefdom as head of a committee, or sponsoring a major piece of legislation, rather than logging favors and whipping unruly members into line for votes. "The leadership track is one that is almost so all-consuming it's pretty hard to devote the attention to other committees that otherwise become a big part of any senator's life," said Tom Daschle, a former Democratic Senate majority leader and an Obama supporter...

(Building an SUV? Blue-collar. Building a hybrid? Green-collar.) The category...

He is already standing with them on values: When California's supreme court imposed same-sex marriage on the state, he said that he did not think judges should be deciding the issue. But he needs to explain how he would make it easier for these voters to move up the income ladder and get affordable and dependable health insurance...
