by David Edwards and Nick Juliano

by Ernest Partridge
With an abundance of intelligence, energy, eloquence, and “audacious hope,” Barack Obama has opened a commanding lead over his sole remaining rival, Hillary Clinton. If he captures the Democratic nomination, in the general election he will face in Senator John McCain a shopworn supporter of an unpopular war, tainted with scandal, and despised by the right-wing base of the Republican party.

Overconfidence may well prove to be Obama’s and the Democrats’ undoing. | 'Primitive' White House technology lost more than 1M emails over 1,000 days, former employee says

by Hillel Italie
William F. Buckley Jr. died at work, in his study. Communism had fallen long before. A Republican was in the White House. The word "liberal" had been shunned like an ill-mannered guest.At the end of his 82 years, much of it spent stoking and riding a right-wing wave as an erudite commentator and conservative herald, all of Buckley's dreams seemingly had come true. |
