SOMEWHERE-IN-THE-SKY-OVER-AMERICA -- Life on the campaign trail is often grueling. The 20-hour days, the ubiquitous turkey sandwiches, the constant travel, the never knowing where you're going to be the next night -- not to mention hearing the...

Before I write about today's big Rev. Wright story, I have to highlight Elizabeth Edwards' op-ed in this weekend's New York Times. It may seem a bit ironic to praise an article that is critical of the media and the kind of yellow journalism that seems to thrive day in and day out--mostly because we are all guilty of reveling in it--but I'm going to do it anyway.
