Fresh from his victory Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama has tapped a fellow Chicagoan to be the White House enforcer.

When the comedian Al Franken launched a Democratic challenge to incumbent Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman two years ago, many viewed it as a joke.

Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller, whose stories about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were proven wrong after the U.S. invasion, is joining Fox News as an analyst on national security issues.

He’s been in a California jail cell for months, but the problems of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s former fund-raiser Norman Hsu still continue to multiply.

Democratic fund-raiser Lynn Forester de Rothschild has spent several months bemoaning Hillary Clinton’s failed bid for the presidential nomination. Today she went further, throwing her support behind GOP nominee John McCain.

Howard W. Lutnick, the chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, is famously loyal to friends. This year, he collected at least $100,000 for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign and between $50,000 and $100,000 for Arizona Sen. John McCain.

For months during the heated contest for the Democratic presidential nomination, Mark J. Penn was the Hillary Clinton adviser everyone loved to hate.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild is one millionaire backer of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton who still hasn’t let go. For starters this week, she dissed the presumptive Democratic candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, on national TV.

After months of speaking on behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Howard Wolfson, has joined the ranks of talking heads on Fox News. As many observers have noted, there was a time when Democrats ran from, not to, Fox News, but Wolfson says the network has changed.

On June 3, the night he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama singled out one of his staffers for special praise.
