The NY Times runs a lengthy front page Sunday feature exploring Obama's years as an activist and politician in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. As the feature recounts, Obama has always been a political pragmatist and a master at framing a message that brings diverse constituencies together…
Joe Biden, as predicted on this blog! (and since I'm usually wrong about this sort of thing, this is impressive. Or random)

I'm feeling a bit peevish about the Democrats right now. I got some email from people promoting Gary Hart, mentioning that he is berating congressional Democrats for failing to stand up against the administration.

Ah, you smart! I wondered a bit about the timing, and then got distr.... look! shiny!
I was just at a blogger meetup where one person suggested the same thing - I was feeling like an idiot for not thinking of it myself first!

C'mon guys: Occam's razor: the Biden leak had already occurred and it was getting more and more press. If they hadn't sent it out then it would have been all over anyways.
Moreover, I don't see at all how sending it out at the same time as mentioned in Clinton's commercial particularly helps him.

It's a shame, though, that Biden's name already had been leaked to CNN a few hours before. Would have been really nice if all those people sleeping with their cell phones actually had been the first to get the word.
Anyway, I'm happy with the team and what it could mean for progressive, responsible science policy in the White House.
