      Finding the Next Hillary

      (Newser) - With Hillary Clinton looking fated to remain a senator, the New York Times explores who could succeed her as a likely contender to become the first woman president. The candidate would have to be from the South or the West, a Democrat with red-state appeal or a Republican from the private sector, and a “fighter” with executive experience and grown children.

      The McCain-Obama Buddy Flick

      (Newser) - For too many men, the 2008 election is a McCain-Obama buddy flick, writes Edward McClelland for Salon.
