Arianna Huffington: On National Security Night, Clinton Keeps His Gun Holstered and Biden Fires Away
Bill Clinton let it be known beforehand that he wasn't happy making his speech on national security night -- preferring to talk about the economy and, hence, his legacy. You could tell. National security rated only passing mentions -- broad generalities when specifics were called for. This despite the fact that the Bush years have given us so many tragic specifics to remind the American people of. In contrast, Biden repeatedly, effectively, and with great detail made the case that on the key national security issues of our time -- including Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan -- "McCain was wrong and Obama was right." It was a powerful indictment -- and effectively made the case that national security is actually John McCain's weakness.

Why Obama's Drop-in Was A Smart Move
If we're going to have Obama-centric coverage, it's better for Democrats to have his loose, affable matter instead of leaving all the definition of Obama to the McCain campaign oppo team.

The tradition of sequestering the nominee like some wedding-eve bride is a quaint one and equally as fun to abrogate with a surprise appearance.

Europe has had public health care, free universities and a greener economy for decades now. But in America we still dream of such things. Joe Biden couldn't stay away from the word.
Bill Clinton, Redeemed: "I Am Here First To Support Barack Obama"
Brand Clinton was at stake here, and Hill and Bill delivered the one-two Clinton punch that proved that their claim on the hearts and minds of the Democratic party was not entirely misplaced.
