Obama’s first iteration was coolly post-ideological. But one lesson of Pennsylvania is that, against McCain, he’ll have to embrace his inner partisan.

To build a Democratic future, Barack Obama needs to borrow from Bill Clinton’s past.

The Clinton campaign has long known what Obama’s team is only now learning: Hispanics are the key to Super-Duper Tuesday—and November.
