THAT would be an awesome team...

Catherine, that would be an impressive team and a combination that is hard to beat. Some people may still grumble at Gore over the 2000 elections, but I think many Democrats would support such a ticket.

Also, I can imagine some of the cabinet prospects.

Did you all know that Obama was a "yea" vote in the Condolicious Rice confirmations?

I agree with stripe. someone tell me who had a flawless past? i like him. hes loud, blunt, and to the point.

Condi was overwhelmingly approved. Cabinet positions are seldom denied by the Senate.

On the other hand, it is hard to imagine why Condi is not serving as Sec. of State from a federal prison cell. I'm pretty sure it is a federal crime to lie under oath to a federal commission, especially when you get caught redhanded on national TV.

Obama On Healthcare: A Strong Start Raises Expectations

by RJ Eskow

I've been hard on Barack Obama in the past but, unlike some of my colleagues, I was very impressed with today's speech on healthcare. I've posted most of the speech's text on The Sentinel Effect with running commentary, but here's why I think it's such a strong start - both in the context it sets and in the rhetoric it employs:

First, he defined the problem in a comprehensive way. Where so many proposals attack healthcare piecemeal - universal coverage, or out-of-pocket costs, or health IT - he laid out a definition of the problem that was thorough, and that also raises expectations for the plan he's developing.
