An interview with David Mamet on Hillary, corruption, and our democracy’s saving grace. What Hillary's candidacy really shows is how few female politicians are groomed for a presidential run. Christopher Hitchens on the case against Hillary Clinton. Just as Bush failed to unite Washington, so Obama will have to accept that conflict, rather than unity, is the natural condition of politics. Obama may have rediscovered an old truth: Partisan politics do not mean a partisan people. Why some liberal academics and journalists are suspicious of Obama. Why conservatives' crush on Obama is doomed. The Republican crack-up: The Republican Party is in a mess; the answer is surprisingly simple. Why Ron Lost: A week with the freedom movement in New Hampshire comes to a bitter end.
