"That said, Clinton and Obama will be circling each other like wary heavyweights for the next few months, looking for angles of attack while trying to avoid possible missteps. And the media will cover their face-off in exquisite detail." ...
"Moderately risky prediction: worried they’ll be dismissed as a bunch of elitist Massachusetts liberals, the Globe’s political reporters play up Romney’s achievements in hopes that America’s conservatives will take them seriously. America’s conservatives don’t." ...
"Factor in inevitable tussling with Senate president Robert Travaglini and House Speaker Sal DiMasi, and Patrick may discover that governing makes campaigning look easy." ....
"How ugly will things get if the Bush administration decides to attack Iran? Even if this doesn’t happen, will Iraq’s festering Sunni-Shiite conflict go regional? Whatever happens, Democracy doesn’t seem to be on the march." ...
