Barack Ends His Relationship With Rev. Wright
(5 comments) Barack Obama has set himself up as believing the opposite of what he now knows Rev. Wright believes (now that Rev. Wright's "dark side" has come out). This may be a positive, defining moment for Sen. Obama.

Barack's Choice: Yes To Fox News; No To Hillary Clinton
(2 comments) This is about the contrast between Barack appearing on Fox New Sunday today and his decision to refuse to debate Hillary Clinton. I frame it as the difference between talking to people who can potentially be part of a dialogue for creating a collaborative future for America - using diplomacy to give them the chance to prove they can be part of such a dialog - and not talking to people who have demonstrated that they cannot u

MSNBC Opens The Door On Hillary's Participation In The Family
(11 comments) Andrea Mitchell; "clearly she is involved in a religious organization that is much more right wing that she (pause) claims to be."
