Speaking of headlines I never anticipated writing... Web maven Arianna Huffington pushes Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff to back her story that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, at a dinner party in 2001, said he didn't vote for George W. Bush for president in 2000. The New York Times and the Washington Post have the goods. …

Edwards May Endorse, Says Obama "Is Clearly the Likely Nominee"
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/edwards-may-end.htmlFormer Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, took to NBC and MSNBC this morning to chat about poverty, though of course Clinton v. Obama was the main course. Hosts on Morning Joe played the audio of Sen. Hillary Clinton's USA Today interview in which Clinton made comments that seemed to many to approach race-baiting, referring to an AP article "that found how Sen. …

http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view.php?id=27626s delegate or popular vote count. The question is no longer who will be the Democratic nominee, but whether Obama can defeat Republican John McCain in November. And the answer to that is still unclear. This dance needs new moves. And a new abacus. Jake Tapper has a To-Do list for Clinton. A few of the items will seem familiar to some of you:

Are the Clintons holding on for dear life…
http://newpaltzjournal.com/?p=694Dick Morris knows the Clintons as well as anyone, and he used to routinely refer to their “secret police,” i.e., their team of pro-active investigators and intimidators, like the ones who showed up to send a message to Kathleen Willey

News portal: politics best aggregator of the net
http://politics.nuovoportale.comwould use "[l]anguage such as 'when she's feeling down' 'periodically' she 'launches attacks.'" Tapper noted that a number of female reporters and bloggers picked up on this. Later Obama complained that Hillary was "throwing the China" at him. Again, Tapper heard the dog whistle. Tapper noted that this "feeds into the 'harridan' caricature of Clinton." So when Obama attacks McCain with an age-based smear, it shouldn't be surprising. Mark Salter, one of McCain's senior advisors, nailed it

Article about: Interesting Fact: Hillary’s Horse
http://forthardknox.com/2008/05/08/hillarys-horse/Hillary Clinton said she was going to bet on Eight Belles to win at the Kentucky Derby. In fact, she compared herself to the horse. Unfortunately for Hillary, Eight Belles finished second and was then euthanized on the track. The winner was the favorite, Big Brown.

Obama started with mysogyny, now attacks McCain’s age
http://politics.nuovoportale.com/obama-started-with-mysogyny...", an unsubtle attack on McCain's age. I'll get to the McCain campaign's response. But first, I want to point remind you of one of the great un(der)reported stories of the Democratic Primary, Barack Obama's sexist attacks on Hillary Clinton. Jake Tapper first noted this when Obama said that Hillary was "taking out the claws." At the same time he noted that Obama would use "[l]anguage such as 'when she's feeling down' 'periodically' she 'launches attacks.'" Tapper noted that

Preemptive Karma: everything that goes around comes around
http://preemptivekarma.com. His snide approach to politics has become so stomach-turning and divisive to me that I cannot believe I actually used to listen to him. And it's not just his attitude about Barack Obama that gets to me, his response earlier this week to Hillary Clinton's joke that he had a crush on her was shockingly spiteful. He's an ugly man who is fostering the ugliness in a lot of Americans. For his sake, he had better hope that Hell is a figment of the imagination.
