We ve had a red phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer. George Bush gave the wrong answer. John McCain gave the wrong answer, Obama said. The Obama campaign on Friday released a response to the Clinton spot using a similar setup-the 3 a.m. phone call-in its own ad. Obama s response to his Democratic rival s ad - which began airing in Texas on Friday morning - was a double-barreled swipe at both Clinton and the likely Republican presidential nominee. Polls show a tight race between Obama and Clinton in both states. Military issues play well in Texas, home to 16 active-duty military bases, including Fort Hood, the nation s largest Army post.Clinton is casting herself as the candidate with the experience and judgment to take command on Inauguration Day.

BHO vs. HRC....Barack Obama will be in Clinton, Iowa, tomorrow to do some Hillary Clinton bashing. Michael Crowley suggests that the public is tired of battles over HRC s vote in favor of the Senate Iraq resolution, which would make this a tired line of attack for Obama. However:It s possible that Obama will spin the Iraq question into a broader proxy for about Hillary s policy judgment and her vaunted experience. He s done some of that already. The...question then is whether he can make that point more forcefully 151; more negatively, I suppose 151; without seeming to violate his talk of a politics of hope.

Last week, for the 22nd time in 220 years, Americans saw the peaceful post-election transfer of power from one political party to another. In our great outdoor national ceremony, scheduled for some reason on a day that is as likely as any other to be the coldest of the year, Barack Obama took the oath as our 44th president and spoke to the nation for 19 minutes in a speech that was far more somber than the mood of the crowd of 2 million on the Mall.At least one thing he got wrong. He spoke of a sapping of confidence--a nagging fear that America s cups stanley decline is inevitable and that the next generation must lower its sights. But hours before Obama spoke, pollster Scott Rasmussen reported that 48 percent of Americans believe the nation s best days are yet to come, while only 35 percent say they have come and gone.
