Jour­nal World’s Con­gres­sion­al Brief­ing points out an Atlantic arti­cle about Hillary Clin­ton, and how Sam Brown­back made peace with her. Brown­back came to the Sen­ate prayer group plan­ning to talk about a can­cer scare, but see­ing new Sen­a­tor Clin­ton at the meeting:

con­fessed to hav­ing hat­ed Clin­ton and hav­ing said deroga­to­ry things about her. Through God, he now rec­og­nized his sin. Then he turned to her and asked, “Mrs. Clin­ton, will you for­give me?” Clin­ton replied that she would, and that she appre­ci­at­ed the apol­o­gy. “It was an extra­or­di­nary moment,” the mem­ber told me.

Brown­back­’s Pres­i­den­tial cam­paign seems to be stag­nat­ing, and it always seemed like a VP bid more than a seri­ous cam­paign for the Oval Office. Most peo­ple fig­ured he’d be look­ing for a pair­ing with a more mod­er­ate voice, or one who needs help appeal­ing to reli­gious con­ser­v­a­tives. Could that can­di­date be named Clinton?
