Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) for the hearts of the Democratic Party's liberal base. His recent strategy of political triangulation has already sparked a fight with MoveOn.org, a powerful liberal advocacy group.

"McCain's Choice to help with veep is discreet lawyer" (Liz Sidoti, AP) - The choice for John McCain's running mate is such a mystery that few people even know who is helping in that search.
