On Wednesday morning, in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show, Matt Lauer asked Mr. Obama whether he had made the right call in granting interviews with the girls. Mr. Obama said: “I think we got carried away in the moment. We were having a birthday party and everybody’s laughing and I didn’t catch it quickly enough … We wouldn’t do it again, and we won’t be doing it again.”
It’s absolutely ridiculous that he should feel the need to apologize for something so innocuous.
The next time Hillary uses the recycled red phone ad, counter with one of your own. When the phone rings in the middle of the night, have a woman’s voice, with a flat Midwestern accent, answer it and say, “Hold on” into the receiver. Then she should shout, “Bill! It’s for you!”
Hillary Clinton may be poised for a big night tonight, with wins in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island. Clinton aides say this will be the beginning of her comeback against Barack Obama. There’s only one problem with this analysis: they can’t count.
I’m no good at math either, but with the help of Slate’s Delegate Calculator I’ve scoped out the rest of the primaries, and even if you assume huge Hillary wins from here on out, the numbers don’t look good for Clinton. In order to show how deep a hole she’s in, I’ve given her the benefit of the doubt every week for the rest of the primaries.
I love definitive articles like this one. Tip of the hat to Jonathan Alter.
A conference call announcing the endorsement of Hillary Clinton by Joseph Wilson was just held with bloggers to hear the breaking news. This is a huge deal for Candidate Clinton and a big endorsement for her candidacy. That it was broken on the blogs sends a powerful signal.
Wow, this is a painful indictment of the liberal blogosphere…
This was the top story on Memeorandum, meaning that lots of political bloggers are linking to it …
I had to read the story to remember who Joseph Wilson is (the former Ambassador whose factfinding trip to Niger blossomed into the Plame scandal).
Who cares who he endorses?
Wilson’s endorsement will switch zero votes in the general election. This is strictly an Obama v. Clinton issue, and, to repeat, who cares? The unfortunate cynical truth is that the entire primary race is going to be decided by massive amounts of TV advertising in January 2008.
… we’ve invited all the presidential candidates to come visit our headquarters in California and share their ideas in town hall-style meetings with our employees.
In February we were honored to host Sen. Hillary Clinton on campus for the first candidate visit, and last Friday we welcomed Sen. John McCain as our second visitor. We’re flattered that the other candidates have responded positively to our invitations, and we’re working to schedule their visits over the next few months.
Just as the Internet poses interesting policy questions, it also helps empower citizens with more information. So, to help potential voters learn more about the candidates and their views on the issues, we’ve posted the complete, unedited videos of these candidate talks on YouTube. Take some time to check out Sen. Clinton’s talk and Sen. McCain’s (as well as a special interview that Sen. McCain did with YouTube’s CitizenTube).

What? Obama hasn’t been to Google yet? That’s one of those events that seems so inevitable that it’s surprising it hasn’t happened yet.
Obama’s instinctive cautious progressivism will play well at the GooglePlex.
Here’s a hypothetical question for Google employees to pose at the confab: if Larry Page and Sergey Brin offer to let Obama use their 767, will he renounce his “no private jets” pledge?
The Obama/Osama presidential race war continues with an actual on-air apology from Wolf Hitler Blitzer to Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Why so sorry? Because some graphics person at CNN “accidentally” typed “Where’s Obama?” over a picture of some scary terror-fascist Mahometans. This was on last night’s “Situation Room,” which somebody apparently watched. (Wonkette)
Sen. Barack Obama is concerned about his personal security –
telling
the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board Thursday that he and his wife
fear there is a potential for violence — even if he does not run for
president.
"Being shot, obviously, that is the least-attractive option,” Obama said.
WASHINGTON – If the Democrats choose Sen. Barack Obama to be their presidential nominee in 2008, will his skin color and his name cost him enough votes to lose the election? Signaling that he knows this worry is on some Democrats’ minds, Obama addressed the issues of skin color and identity during his tour of New Hampshire last weekend.
The terrible thing is that he’ll never know if race was an issue unless he wins.
