...send someone out to your house, and the overall cost of the Census increases,” Williams said. “Money that would have gone to your community will go elsewhere, and you are at risk of losing a congressional representative in the aggregate.” Reverend Kenneth B. Miller, chairman of the Census Advisory Committee on the African American Population, praised Williams’s initial recommendations, which she presented at the group’s annual meeting last month. “She certainly will be a tremendous asset,” he said...
...gambling that Democrats would see through the ruse. He trudged through the Wright debacle, never allowing his impeccable disposition to slip toward anger or pettiness. On the Sunday before the primaries, he gave a dour, newsless interview to Tim Russert, enduring another 20 minutes of questions about the Reverend Wright. Meanwhile, Clinton was spiky and histrionic in her simultaneous duel with George Stephanopoulos. She made alpha-dog power moves, standing up to talk to the live audience while Stephanopoulos remained seated, forcing him to stand uncomfortably beside her and then, later, embarrassing her host by reminiscing about his liberal, anti...

Twenty years ago, the response of too many Moyers-era liberals would have been to try to understand Wright...
...last week's Pennsylvania primary. In particular, they overshadowed campaign events that were aimed at connecting better with senior citizens and blue-collar whites, two groups that Obama has been losing to Clinton. "It's harder to break through if you're spending a lot of time on Reverend Wright," lamented one of Obama's top strategists...
