...charisma obliterates the emptiness of his message. Too bad for Clinton. Her voice is too shrill, her laughter too loud and her tears too easy. Who cares about her profound knowledge of the issues, her long experience with Washington's maze and ways, and her useful insight into the Republicans' bag of tricks? Yet such substantial qualities are vital in the final race to the White House. Confronted with the Republican candidate in a nationwide election, Obama won't stand a chance.

...McCain's support for the war in Iraq and his presidential ambitions changed the relationship's dynamic in 2004. More important, the two need each other now. Bush is still a potent fund raiser, pulling in $67 million to the Republican National Committee in 2007 at events like his frequent luncheons and dinners around town. By the same token, if anyone is going to protect the legacy of Bush's war on terror and Iraq, it is the senior Senator from Arizona...
