    On Tuesday, I wrote about ThinkProgress ascribing a speech by Condi Rice to George Bush, an error that has now been fixed, but which stood uncorrected for a good long while.

    When John Edwards dropped out, and I had to hold my nose and choose between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, I decided to go with Clinton. It didn’t feel like a difficult choice at the time. In a nutshell, I distrusted Obama more than I disliked Clinton. (A summary of why I [...]
