Romney Blasts Iranian Leader

Former senator John Edwards (D-N.C.), shown talking about health care in Detroit in June, gave details this week about his plan to fight HIV/AIDS if elected president. Edwards said he would set aside more money to fight the disease in other parts of the world and would create programs in the United States to treat blacks and Hispanics, who are more likely to have the disease than whites.

THE RELUCTANT PUNDIT

Bush Again Picks Clinton

Guess he just can't resist. No matter how much President Bush says he won't play "pundit-in-chief," he apparently has been telling anyone who will listen that he thinks Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic presidential nomination.

In a new book, Bush is quoted as predicting Clinton's win, although he is careful to express confidence that the Republican nominee, whoever it is, will beat her.

"She's got a national presence, and this is becoming a national primary," the president told Washington Examiner White House correspondent Bill Sammon for his book, "The Evangelical President," which is out this week.

Bush made sure to add: "I think our candidate can beat her, but it's going to be a tough race. I will work to see to it that a Republican wins and therefore don't accept the premise that a Democrat will win."
