I think it's -- it's one more step in the endgame that we're in right now. And she clearly knows that this is almost over, and she's shifted her tone since November.

To joke about guns and Barack Obama is the single most tasteless thing one can do in American politics.

If George W. Bush were on the ticket today, he would go down in a landslide.

But overall, that was an admirable speech. It really was one of the few times we've had a presidential candidate early in a campaign try to draw together the main strands of what his presidency would be like and try to weave it together.

We need a speech with as much precision from Barack Obama, sooner rather than later.

They can take him on on the issues. And they can take him on about who has the best chance to win.

a quarter of the people who were supporting each candidate are saying, if my candidate doesn't win, I'm either going to sit out or vote for John McCain.

John McCain is putting in the building blocks of a fall campaign.

I think people around him think he will need a food taster if he does that.

I think he now has the luxury of starting to look past Hillary Clinton. If there is this sense of inevitability now, the aura of inevitability that hung around her very early in this campaign has now moved to him.

whoever loses do so graciously.

I don't think they have it. They would have played that card by now.
