- Barack Obama's agenda so far is a no-show (Doyle McManus & Robin Abcarian, LA Times)
- 2007 Senate Vote Ratings (National Journal) They really can't talk about their agenda, given those voting records, so it all has to be about Obama's identity.

- Obama has picked a Cheney when he needed a Gore (James Forsyth, Spectator) Huh? Cheney had been an elected legislator, a White House Chief of Staff, a Secretary of Defense, and was intimately involved in continuity of government and other defense planning over decades. Biden never rose in the Senate leadership, has few if any legislative accomplishments, is a subject of amusement for his verbal gaffes, and had two disastrous presidential runs, one of which involved him plagiarizing someone else's life story and making it his own. He is no Cheney, whatever one thinks of Cheney.
