...worth recalling that the Clintons tried something similar - though far more muted - about this time four years ago. People who claimed to be operating on behalf of a then-first-term Senator Clinton sent quiet feelers to the John Kerry camp in the summer of 2004, hinting that she should, at least, be considered for the number two spot. How strong was this suggestion? One person who watched it unfold likened it to a "whisper" that never amounted to "pressure," but was an unmistakable pass nonetheless...
...career, you're gonna need some Jedi managerial advice. You came up with Star Wars and Indiana Jones in the '70s. You invented all kinds of super-cool technology that revolutionized moviemaking.

Far-fetched as this may seem, social conservatives may be worth wooing. Of the institutions potentially available to regulate the lives of individual gays, marriage is the most socially conservative institution possible. Many proponents of same-sex marriage apparently believe that, since social conservatives are unlikely to be won over, they will simply have to be strong-armed into putting up with the institution when enough Democrats and enough states have...
