This week Bill Moyers reports what books the presidential candidates say they would bring with them to the White House.  I love Hillary's answer, the Constitution.  Not only is it a thoughtful response, but I get the sense she means it.

Here are the candidate answers:

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN: WEALTH OF NATIONS by Adam Smith because we may be entering some pretty shaky economic times.

SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Doris Kearns Goodwin's book TEAM OF RIVALS. It was a biography of Lincoln, and he was confident enough to be willing to have these dissenting voices.

MIKE HUCKABEE: There's a great book by Francis Schaeffer that had a real influence on me, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE? And it talks about the dignity and worth of each individual.

SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON: I would certainly bring a--my copy of the Constitution because there apparently was not a copy in the Bush White House the best I can determine. So I would bring THE FEDERALIST PAPERS.

MITT ROMNEY: JOHN ADAMS by David McCullough. A truly great leader who made a difference for America, and his example is one I'd want to follow.

Also, Obama supporter and progressive radio personality, Cenk Unger offers some surprising praise of Hillary's campaigning.  I disagree with Uygur on two points, lobbyist(whom also work on the Obama campaign), and inspiration(Hillary inspires me, and I know lot's of people who feel the same way), but this is pretty nice commentary.

Finally, Hillary spoke with Tavis Smiley this week about the challenges of running as the first female front runner in a presidential primary. I really like what she has to say. She talks about how a female candidate doesn't fit the male model we are accustomed to and everyone is still sort of figuring out this new model.
