Clinton won't be able to keep bashing Obama, at least not publicly, once the Democratic race is officially over and she has to put on her team-player-let's -bring-the-party-together act.

2008-03-26-hillary_tuzla_shaw.jpgHillary's over-dramatization of danger in a conflict setting can't help but bring to mind her validation of Bush's over-dramatization of the threat of Iraqi WMD, and her consequent support of the Iraq war resolution.

Obama's Shallow Credentials on National Security Are Dangerous for the Country

Joseph C. Wilson | Posted 03.20.2008 | Politics


Joseph C. Wilson

Much of the reaction to Sen. Clinton's 3 a.m. ad is from people who have never been involved in foreign policy and certainly never had to field such a call in a crisis situation.

Answering the Phone

It could be argued that the White House should cancel its red phone altogether and save the taxpayer unnecessary expenses.

No Country for Old Poli-tricks

Bennet Kelley

The premise of the 3:00 a.m. commercial is that Senator Clinton's foreign policy credentials are significantly superior to Senator Obama's -- but is that really the case?

Samantha Power's silly slip of the tongue would have been a perfect time for Obama to show an unusal toughness, a rewriting of the rule book.

Hey, have you heard? The little girl from the famous "3am phone call" ad is actually a grown-up supporter of Barack Obama! Which is, I guess, a TOTA...

Hillary "Triangulates" Against Obama, Loses My Vote in the General

How can Hillary ever join a ticket with Obama now that she has ranked him below the GOP's choice?

Breaking the Final Rule

Gary Hart

It will come as a surprise to many people that there are rules in politics. One of those rules is: Do not provide ammunition to the opposition party that can be used to destroy your party's nominee.

Let's Put the Red Phone to Bed

While some have rightly deplored the Karl Rovian campaign tactic, few have suggested that very premise of the ad is pure fiction, or have wondered what exactly the hypothetical crisis might entail.

The Ringing Red Phone and The Runaway Train

Kristen Breitweiser | Posted 03.07.2008 | Politics


Kristen Breitweiser

The runaway train of the Democratic Party needs to stop. I think it was refreshing to see that Hillary recently mentioned the concept of a unity ticket, and I am dismayed that Obama would not consider a it yet.

Islam's Moderate Leaders and That 3am Call

Amb. Marc Ginsberg | Posted 03.07.2008 | Politics


Amb. Marc Ginsberg

The next president is going to have rebuild a lot of broken coalitions shattered by years of failed U.S. diplomacy to make that 3am call less of a threat to our sleeping kids.

On the Red Phone

Larry David | Posted 03.06.2008 | Politics


Larry David

I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone.

C'mon, Senators Clinton and McCain

Susan Rice | Posted 03.06.2008 | Politics


Susan Rice

Clinton's campaign chose to edit selectively and thus grossly distort my words on her 3 a.m. ad in a video it sent to reporters and posted on YouTube. Senator McCain's campaign also misrepresented and manipulated my statement.

The Ad

If this kind of television ad is what gets Ms. Clinton elected, we can count on more of the same from her administration in the military sphere.

Hillary's Judgment Was Wrong About Iraq -- And It's Wrong About Iran

It doesn't matter it is 3 a.m. or 5 p.m., what matters is the right judgment at the right time.

Bush Says He Lets Red Phone Go Straight to Voicemail

"If I answered the red phone every time it rang, I would never get any sleep," Mr. Bush said. "Sometimes it starts ringing at 9 PM, and I am already tucked in by then."

Far Too Little, Far Too Late

After failing to connect with voters on the experience argument, the Clinton campaign should have either switched messages or done a better job of articulating their current one.

Hillary's "3AM Experience" Ad vs. Her Lack of a National Security Clearance

Paul Abrams | Posted 03.02.2008 | Politics


Paul Abrams

Hillary's suggestion just by airing this ad is that she has had to answer the red phone in a real foreign policy crisis moment. How could she? She never even had a national security clearance.
