That's why McCain is really not the best person to lead the attack. He's too volatile and prickly. If he comes off in the same way he came off in the Reagan Library debate, we're all doomed. So you have to find a VP who can do what McCain can't -- stay cool. Condi has been cool, and about much more pressurized opponents than this. The conventional wisdom has always been that you pick a VP to clinch an important but "iffy" state. I doubt that works anymore. Besides, Condi would make a worthy president on her own merits, and that's nothing to sneeze at. .
Michelle Obama, Chelsea Clinton visit same Midlands church
Michelle Obama and Chelsea Clinton. One was on one side of the church, one on the other. And the congregation took note. "I don't know. It was kinda awkward," said Evette Brown. "Well to me I think it shows divide but I think once this is over on Saturday, I think our country will be united because we are all going to come together and rally behind whoever gets the nomination," said Sarah Brown. Pastor Darrell Jackson, who is a senior consultant for the Clinton campaign in South Carolina, says the seating arrangements were no accident. "It is our custom that when campaigns come that we sit one on one side, and one on the other," said Jackson. Neither Mrs. Obama nor Miss Clinton spoke at the pulpit, but after the service they did speak to churchgoers.

NY Giants win Super Bowl
Gambling that he couldn't escape the pocket, the Giants came after him from the start. After spotting the Giants an early 3-0 lead, the Patriots responded with a 12-play, 56-yard march that put them on the Giants 1-yard line when the first quarter ended. The key play came when New York linebacker Antonio Pierce was flagged for pass interference on Benjamin Watson in the end zone. It took Maroney two carries to give the Patriots the lead, scoring over right guard three seconds into the second quarter. New York answered with a 46-yard drive to New England's 14. On third-and-5, Manning hit Steve Smith with a low throw. Smith bobbled the ball, and cornerback Ellis Hobbs picked off the deflection and returned it 23 yards to the Patriots 33.
