1. I'd vote for Samantha Power over both Clinton and Obama in a heartbeat
Both candidates wish they were as brilliant and gifted as she is. Shame on both campaigns for treating her this way.

4. Obama doesn't deserve her
Accepting her resignation was a stupid, stupid mistake. Hopefully she'll go work for Gravel.

7. in her own words:
http://chronicle.com/weekly/v54/i07/07a00101.htm

Ms. Power and the other scholar-advisers of the 2008 season face challenges that Galbraith's generation never knew. The public is much more skeptical of credentialed expertise than it was during the Kennedy administration. And new technologies make the candidate-adviser relationship more perilous than it once was. In theory a student in one of Ms. Power's Harvard courses might post one of her classroom comments (perhaps wildly out of context) on a blog and create a news-media storm within hours.

"That's the one thing that terrifies me," Ms. Power says. "That I'll say something that will somehow hurt the candidate." She says that in public lectures and interviews, she sometimes fights the urge to make unkind statements about other candidates. "That's just not Obama's style," she says. "Left to my own devices, I'd articulate my frustrations in a much harsher way."


She chose to resign, she still supports him. I just went to Amazon.com and purchased Darfur, Darfur.
