QUOTABLE HILLARY. We're awaiting John Edwards at the SEIU forum, but in the meantime, here are two interesting quotes from Hillary's speech, which just ended. On the Petraeus report and Bush's refusal to redeploy more than 30,000 troops from Iraq, she said, "Those troops were coming home anyway. The President taking credit for that is like taking credit for the sun coming up in the morning." She also talked about 90-year old women telling her, "I was born before women could vote, and I'm going to live long enough to see a woman in the White House." I know it's a slogan (Garance tells me Hillary told this story yesterday, as well), but just step back and think about the historical movement that is making a female president a possibility. It's pretty cool, no matter what the outcome of this election. --Dana Goldstein
