How will it all end?
Obama surge? Or Clinton comeback? Superdelegates anyone? With the delegate count agonizingly close -- and proportional representation likely to keep it that way -- all bets are off.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-02-11]

  • A major bit of information

    has just been noted on Dianne Rehm.

    Warren G. Harding was actually black. That means that Obama can say that he is not the first black to be elected president. Now, of course, using Warren G. Harding as a path breaker is a dubious and possibly fool-hardy strategy. But, the fact remains that Harding's grandfather was from the West Indies, and appears that Harding was 25 % black.

    Maybe Obama can say that Harding was a failure because he was not black enough.
