Postscript to Beating McCain

• The fact that the US and Iraq have a draft deal in place to withdraw troops by 2011 gives Obama an opening here to paint McCain as more extreme than Bush in his foreign policy. "At the end of this disastrous administration, cooler heads have begun to prevail in the White House. The only hothead left is John McCain."
• Part of the reason why I think I like Joe Biden so much -- not just as a potential VP -- is that he looks a little like an Irish Paulie Walnuts. And Paulie Walnuts is exactly who Obama needs.
