The electability conundrum

From Newsweek, Markos Moulitsas on making the Bush record the issue: Absent amnesia—which only happens on soaps—Democrats will be fine; and Karl Rove on how to beat Hillary (next) November (and more). From The New Yorker, can Barack Obama catch Hillary Clinton? Ryan Lizza investigates. Divided over uniting: Should Obama promote reconciliation in America or be more aggressive in his attacks against Clinton? Too good for politics: Is Barack Obama just another high-toned liberal doomed to failure? Every politico knows only two candidates will be viable after the caucuses: Can John Edwards’s blow-dried populism be his ticket out? Splitting hairs with the US government: How many citizens must be victimized by a $400 haircut before a Presidential candidate offers up a Universal Hair Care program? EJ Dionne on how Democrats will really decide between Hillary, John, and Barack. How should Democratic candidates approach the immigration issue? Viva la revolution! With $1 trillion to spend, millions ready to vote and their own candidate for President, Hispanics hold the key to the new American century. From TAP, Terence Samuel on the electability conundrum. From The Progressive, Adolph Reed on sitting this one out.
