A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    IT'S ONE THING TO BE ELECTED, IT TAKES ANOTHER TO GOVERN

    Clinton should ignore all this Obama nonsense about hope and change, sweet as the sound bite sounds. China doesn't give a damn about hope in America. Neither does India. Neither does the Middle East. The world is at a crossroads, for Christ's sake! At home, it's the economy, stupid. Internationally, it's foreign policy, stupid.

    From now on, her slogan should be: It's one thing to be elected, it takes another to govern. Clinton CAN!
