Plouffe Book: Bill Clinton Doomed Hillary's VP Chances, Obama Predicted Palin Choice Debacle
By Jill Lawrence

Senate Energy Bill: Obama, Biden and Cabinet Go All-In on Another Top Priority
By Jill Lawrence
Nothing says all-in like having the president, the vice president, three Cabinet secretaries, and two agency heads send the same "we care" message on the same day. It's all about achieving liftoff for the Senate energy and climate bill that's in the spotlight this week. It may seem as if that part ...
Biden's Popularity on a Downhill Slide
By Bruce DrakeVice President Joseph Biden's favorability ratings have been on a downhill slide since his election in November, falling from 59 percent who saw him favorably then to 40 percent now, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Oct. 16-19. Eighteen percent have no opinion. ...

Dear Vicki, I Know You Can Do This
By Bonnie Goldstein
Political wives in general have a very tough job, and Kennedy wives are legendary in their public and private political legerdemain. The sisters, nieces and daughters of Jack, Bobby and Ted have had enormous public impact and have done some great work, but I have to say, women who marry Kennedys are ...
Scranton Bishop Joseph Martino, Biden's Nemesis, Resigns Under Cloud
By David Gibson
The Roman Catholic bishop of Scranton is not normally known as a kingmaker -- or kingbreaker -- in electoral politics.

Ted Kennedy: A Life and Legacy in Boldface
By Mary C. CurtisIn a time when so many public figures are small, Ted Kennedy was big. I know that's an opening for jokes that have the late senator's girth as a punch line.
