  I actually wish that HRC would stay in the Senate. It may be selfish on my part, but that way I get to benefit from her service to my state as well as BHO's service to my country.

  I believe that President-Elect Obama, is making very intelligent choices for his staff. Though there are some Clinton staffers who have been chosen, I don't feel that "Change" is at risk. The people chosen provide experience in dealing with a Democratic Congress (especially the far left) that tried to steam roll President Clinton early on in his administration. The same can be seen in President Carter's administration. The experience provides a hedge against an extreme left agenda pushed from within Congress and provides for governing from the center. (The position that was campaigned from).

  That interview was the worst dreck I've heard on NPR in a long time. Because he and VP-elect Biden chose chiefs of staff who had served in the Clinton White House, President-elect Obama is failing to keep his promise of change?? Give me a break. Chiefs of staff are not about policy or ideology, they're operations managers. Sorry, Brian, but you just cannot take time off. :)

  Obama has already helped the economy.

  Reprints of the NYT election issue and extra copies of the TIME and NEWSWEEK election issues have been flying off the shelves.

  I bought two sets of the magazines, one for myself and one for a friend's birthday.
