The Note's Sneak Peek:
July 26, 2007— -- Those of you who placed your bets on July 26, 2007 for the first back to back Howard Wolfson (sitting in for Sen. Clinton) v. David Axelrod (sitting in for Sen. Obama) cable talk show appearances, do not pass go and collect your winnings.
Nothing like a relatively slow summer news week to give the media exactly what it wants -- the Obama vs. Hillary take-the-gloves-off narrative.
The candidates engaged each other once again today. Sen. Obama alluded to Sen. Clinton's foreign policy/diplomacy answer in Monday's debate as "Bush-Cheney lite" which seemed to cause Sen. Clinton to question "what's ever happened to the politics of hope?" LINK
