...that the Republican candidates are any better. John McCain is a maverick—no thanks. Rudy Giuliani is a cheating divorcee—not much of a family man, but what would you expect from an Italian? And Mitt Romney is a Mormon—enough said...

Hillary Clinton has called abortion "a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women" and talks about improving education and access to birth control so that abortion becomes a right most women never have to exercise.

In 2004, John Thune, the Republican candidate for Senate in South Dakota, paid bloggers to attack supporters of his opponent, then Senate minority leader Tom Daschle. Clinton's big blog hire for this campaign, the well-known Peter Daou...
