Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) was “powerful” because she built upon its themes as the address went on, writes Josh Marshall, who doubts Clinton could have given a speech like that before her presidential campaign. With most precincts counted, the Alaska Republican House primary between 18-term Rep. Don Young (R) and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell remains too close to call, notes David Kurtz. Democrats are hoping that their candidate, Ethan Berkowitz, faces Young, who has been criticized for his support for earmarks.
