What is the Times thinking? — The only thing more shocking that the New York Times printing salacious innuendo about a presidential candidate is its editor not understanding why this caused controversy. I'm not sure whether he's isolated or clueless or issuing cynical spin.
Patrick Healy / New York Times:
Soldiering On, but Somber as the Horizon Darkens — To her longtime friends, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton sounds unusually philosophical on the phone these days. She rarely uses phrases like “when I'm president” anymore. Somber at times, determined at others, she talks to aides …

OBAMA DEFENDS ‘LIBERAL’ LABEL — From NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan — AUSTIN, Texas — In the shadow of the state capitol that provided the United States with one of the most conservative presidents in recent history, Obama last night railed against the charge that being “liberal” was a bad thing.

HRC: ‘Shame on you, Barack Obama’ — CINCINNATI, Ohio — Hillary Rodham Clinton ripped Barack Obama Saturday for mailings his campaign is sending to Ohio voters that Clinton said distorted her record on NAFTA and universal health care. — “Shame on you, Barack Obama,” …
Matthew Yglesias:
The Re-Up — I think the NAFTA mailing that comes in for secondary discussion in this article is harsh but well within the bounds of basic politics. The health care flier is, however, pretty seriously dishonest as other Obama fans have noted in earlier incarnations.

Obama: I'd get different treatment if I lost as much as Clinton — (CNN) — Hillary Clinton's campaign says it remains upbeat about the New York senator's White House chances, but rival Barack Obama said Saturday he would likely be treated differently if his campaign had suffered a similar string of losses as her's.

Battle Company Is Out There — WE TUMBLED OUT of two Black Hawks onto a shrub-dusted mountainside. It was a windy, cold October evening. A half-moon illuminated the tall pines and peaks. Through night-vision goggles the soldiers and landscape glowed in a blurry green-and-white static.
Victor Davis Hanson / The Corner:
