Two in the Times
If you're looking for reasons to be happy Hillary lost, try this article in the Times. I'm wary of playing into stereotypes about the Clintons, but it still creeped me out.
Meanwhile, Friedman's column confirms what I've written about before: that we can make a huge step toward restoring American prestige in the world by electing Obama. Friedman says a couple of weird things to sound even-handed (exactly how is serving as a POW in Hanoi "looking at America from the outside in"?), but his conversations with Egyptians are interesting. Of course, as Friedman points out, getting elected is one thing; Obama having to make difficult decisions that they don't like is another.
