...eighth cousins. Obama, Illinois’ junior senator, addressed the audience on the hot-button issues of healthcare, education, and Iraq. He said he plans to pay teachers more money, make college more affordable, and invest to close the achievement gap in education. Though Obama never directly mentioned opponent Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)’s name, his rhetoric echoed many of the complaints launched against her. “I’m tired of seeing Democrats think that the only way to act tough on national security is to act tough and vote like George...
...have heard the case made by many voters, campaign workers, and pundits that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is the most electable (as a tough and experienced campaigner) and the most unelectable (as a divisive and polarizing figure). Others have said that former Sen.

Unfortunately, only those who tuned in for the second half of the show led by audience-members—and not journalists—were treated to a worthwhile debate. The event kicked off with the usual Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.)-bashing focused on her lack of firm positions. Unfortunately, the question CNN anchor Campbell Brown asked to foster discussion on the topic was so politically charged that all we saw was a brawl between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) on healthcare plans. Brown...
