Given her driving ambition, I can't see Hillary Rodham going back to the US senate and mingling with the likes of schmeckel Schumer and corpulent Kennedy. I contend that only a national stage will suffice. So: what's next for Hillary? Talk Radio Hostess -- possibly on EIB -- remorselessly attacking the policies of President McCain or Obama.

Humble roots have never been a guarantee of intellectual humility, especially when a mind comes to flower at Columbia and Harvard. Obama's dismissal of small town views and values as "bitterness," "fear" and "anger" -- his dismissal of the Rev. Jeremiah...
