GARY HART UPDATE: Jeralyn Merritt of Talkleft got an exclusive interview with Hart today, and reports on the controversy, and his response.

UPDATE: Here’s a rather more critical take, from NRO.

As I said on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last night, I think that the “anti-semitism” issue is entirely bogus. A bigger question is whether Hart will be able to articulate a foreign policy that is different from the Administration’s, but not wimpish or overly idealistic. That’s possible — I could do it — but Hart hasn’t done it yet.
