Interestingly, Fox News appears to have the most reasonable and accurate headline:

Obama Willing to ‘Refine’ Iraq Withdrawal Plan

I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Is anyone surprised that the "mainstream media" like CNN and FNC have nary a mention of McCain's comment anywhere on their sites or on-air programming? Greg's point today cannot have been more prescient -- can we imagine the outrage if any Democrat had uttered exactly the same comment?

Any doubt that RaeKa and his/her supporters wear white sheets in their free time?

You're not being paranoid at all. She said all the right words, without question, but every reference to Obama (including her "yes, we can" line) was accompanied by a blank expression on her face and very little energy in the delivery. Not a single smile or hint of enthusiasm when she mentioned him.

That said, I think this is as much as we could have asked for from someone who took the election as far, and as close to the wire as she did.

I was actually surprised at how many boos I heard. But Hillary herself? Better than I could possibly have expected.

Couldn't agree more, del moi. Seriously, all this hand-wringing about Franken is WAY premature. Even as an amateur, his quick hit response was pretty well done. Let's cut the guy a little slack -- Norm Coleman is not going to be re-elected (no matter how many times he tried to reverse field and distance himself from Bush over the past 18 months or so).

Marcus--good analysis. Charlie Brown gives us a very good shot, but I wouldn't overestimate how much McClintock's "arch-conservatism" will hurt him. He's a fairly popular figure in CA, as right-wing extremists go.

Thanks for the background. Lieberman is a despicable human being.

Referring to the RFK comments? Hmmm. I think she disqualified herself long before that. Anyway, thanks for the clarification!

Chalk it up to my horrible memory, but who is being referred to with the "disqualifying words" comment?
