Some on the left wing of the Democratic Party would like to see No Child Left Behind done away with. Are you going to deliver reauthorization this year? The concept of including every child in education as a national goal is one that I wholeheartedly and completely agree with. But there are children left out. If this were the space program, we would have gone to the moon, landed and gotten halfway back. We have work to do in the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind and plenty of it.

It was an article of faith that because of money and marriage, the junior Senator from New York had it locked up. It still is an article of faith among right-wing talk-show hosts, who tend to believe in their wildest fantasies. "She's got it locked up, right?" Sean Hannity said to Dick Morris during a radio smarm-athon a few weeks ago. Of course, Morris agreed, juicily, but "wait till people see that she's an even bigger flip...
