Nothing works on the campaign trail like attacks on candidates for bad attendance. It alienates people on both sides of every issue and reflects a callous disregard of the work of the people.

[T]he harm [Clinton AG] Reno did to American national security in the fight against terror was incalculable.

Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go.

Obama has had two raging successes in his term: He has slashed unemployment by persuading millions to give up hope and leave the labor force and He has cut illegal immigration by casting the United States into a permanent job shortage. Some achievements!

The stronger Hillary is, the weaker she is. The more she seems like a likely presidential winner, the more difficult the senate race becomes in New York. It's perfect.
