You will doubtless recall Hillary’s “Daisy” ad, where she raises the question about who is going to answer that 3am phone call.  Obama released a response ad last week, too.

Much is being made just now, of the possiblity of the DNC making a ‘do-over’ in Florida and Michagan.  If I considdered oward Dean a principled man, I’d suggest he wouldn’t do it on the basis of principle. But these

Noted today, in my “inbox”: Two stories.

• Michelle Obama complaining that using the middle name of her husband is a ‘fear bomb’.
