Margaret Carlson, on Mrs. Clinton’s tears and temper tantrums:

Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) — The Clintons have a steep hill to climb in New Hampshire. Like parents who know better, they have to convince voters that the guy they’ve

Gloria Steinem gives the gender feminist moo of the day in the New York Times.

So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? The reasons are as pervasive as the air we breathe:

By far the best presentation as a candidate, among all the candidates in both parties, is that of Barack Obama. But if he actually believes even

Mrs. Clinton, as quoted by Ben Smith, Politico:

“It’s not easy.”

Matt Yglesias, who I usually have serious disagreements with, points out that Hillary Clinton may well be on the wrong scent, here:

James Joyner, earlier today:

George Will closes a subpar (by his standards, at least) column on the silly populism of Mike Huckabee and John Edwards with this praise for Barack Obama:

Although [Mike] Huckabee and [John] Edwards profess to loathe and vow to change Washington’s culture, each would aggravate its toxicity. Each overflows with and wallows in the pugnacity of the self-righteous who discern contemptible motives behind all disagreements with them,

Ran through it on delay, just now, and that’s my take.
