RICHARD COHEN YEARNS FOR OBAMA TO BE LIKE LBJ: Good luck with that — Lyndon Johnson had served almost a quarter of a century in the House and Senate before being tapped to be JFK’s veep, and yet Cohen and the rest of the Washington Post went all-in back in 2008 on a candidate who hadn’t yet completed his first term there, over a man who by that time, had served a comparable number of years as Johnson in DC.

Of course, it’s not too late for Cohen to call on Obama to live out one key moment in LBJ’s legacy.
