Campaign 2008
Hillary Clinton has become critical to uniting a party that remains divided. Half of Clinton's supporters tell pollsters they aren't yet ready to embrace Obama's campaign. Meanwhile, McCain's camp has been stepping up efforts to lure the disaffected Clinton backers.
A transcript of the weekend's program: Obama goes with experienced Joe Biden. Plus what do today's Democrats stand for, and do they have a prayer with religious voters? Tune in this weekend for more: FOX News Channel, Saturday 5:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. and Sunday 6 a.m. ET.

ABOUT US
We speak for free markets and free people, the principles, if you will, marked in the watershed year of 1776 by Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." So over the past century and into the next, the Journal stands for free trade and sound money; against confiscatory taxation and the ukases of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.
