Why, ask many Democrats and media commentators, won’t Hillary Rodham Clinton see the long odds against her, put her own ambitions aside, and gracefully embrace Barack Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee?
Here is why: She and Bill Clinton both devoutly believe that Obama’s likely victory is a disaster-in-waiting. Naive Democrats just don’t see it. And a timid, pro-Obama press corps, in their view, won’t tell the story.
But Hillary Clinton won’t tell it, either.
Politico has the story. And we’ll be talking about this tonight on my program at 9p ET. Join Douglas V. Gibbs, the “Political Pistachio” and me as we look at this interesting turn of events in the latest development of the Obama/Clinton campaign.

Reserve marks 60th anniversary
Staff report
Posted : Monday Apr 14, 2008 13:34:54 EDT
The Air Force Reserve celebrates its 60th anniversary today.
The component began as a field operating agency of the Air Force when it was established on April 14, 1948. The National Defense Authorization Act of 1997 created the Air Force Reserve Command.
There are now about 75,000 airmen serving in the Reserve in 36 flying wings, one space group, three associate flying groups and five special-mission units, including aerial firefighters and combat search and rescue airmen.
To celebrate the anniversary, the U.S. Postal Service has introduced a special cancellation stamp displaying the Air Force Memorial and three Air Reserve aircraft. The stamp was designed by Maj. Todd Copley of the 94th Airlift Wing at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga.
Check out our video and timeline celebrating 60 years of the active Air Force.
