• A New Day is Within Our Grasp
  This election is about the economy and jobs, health care and retirement security. Most of all, this election is about what we must do together to restore opportunity, prosperity and fairness to our country. (11/3/08)

• Nonsense on Health Care from The Wall Street Journal
  I'm not sure what debate the editors of The Wall Street Journal were watching last night, but it sure wasn't the one I viewed. (10/8/08)
