Today in Iowa

The assault on Mount Hillary continues, abetted by her questionable decision yesterday to mock Obama's foreign policy credentials. The fact is, Obama's four childhood years in Indonesia are extremely valuable when it comes to understanding the rest of the world, especially those parts of the world that don't like us. And as Maureen Dowd points out today, Clinton is throwing stones from a glass (White) house.

But even though First Ladyhood is a questionable qualification, in itself, for the presidency, Clinton has amply demonstrated as Senator, and in this campaign, that she has the brains, knowledge, toughness and judgment to do the job. John Ellis has some interesting thoughts about how another unlovable pol managed to find his way to the White House.
